      No, Stalin’s Russia was a paradise for all with zero issues, obviously.

      The point is that it’s a class war. It always has been. It’s about a system of government where the country’s wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

      Oh wait. that’s capitalism. Amazing how much soviet Russians government has in common with “capitalism.”

    Capitalists will always serve up fascists when the proletariat get too many unions for their taste. Never trust the ruling class. We should have been Luigi’ing them from day 1.

      not at all, the foundation of feudalism was serfs either paying rent for the land or paying a tax out of their production. the foundation of capitalism is wage labor. the intensives and motivations for everyone involved are fundamentally different in the 2 systems. The assertion just also doesnt make sense from a historical perspective capitalism came before any of the technology associated with it.

        But you have Netflix and social media… Aren’t you happy? So much fun to spend all energy at work so you sit at home exhausted until the next morning.
