Being disabled from 14 years of taking beatings from Nazis and cops at protests is my excuse. I’d wheel my disabled Graves diseased ass out to a protest again against doctors orders if only they would be organized outside billionaires homes.
Same, dunno if it was typed to mean the opposite though. Getting plenty of excuses like this from ex-reddit libs that get salty when you tell them to go protest.
Why else would they be trying to scare people from taking action?
capitalism is that if everyone did it correctly, and worked together to maximize each other’s value, it wouldn’t even be that bad.
Capitalism isn’t, never was, and never could be about working together to maximize each other’s value. It has always, only was, and will only ever be about privatizing value, stamping a logo on other peoples work going “This is my work now.” All that “free, competitive market” bullcrap exists with or without capitalism, “better product is more popular” has nothing to do with capitalism except stifling better products for sake of capital aka profits, such as planned obsolescence, for-profit healthcare/prisons, buying cheap selling high, etc. You really think the people who invented the sail kept their IP private for the sake of profit? Or do they share that value with the world simply because everyone would benefit. What about metallurgy, leavened bread, beer? The polio vaccine? Some people worship the markets like a God that bears them miracles through human sacrifice, other atheists go one God further.
Nor have human beings and their endlessly diverse methods of trade and commerce in some rugged jungle somewhere need some white european/russian dude from the 1800s to tell them the complex philosophy of “sharing.”
C-level is beholden to shareholders, who would pay minimum wage if given the option.
They’d pay less than that. “Minimum wage” means “I’d pay you less, but I can’t because it’s illegal.” Hell, workers had to fight for weekends, they’d happily take that away and put kids back in factories if they could.
Here’s a way.
