"All I have heard since this happened is the voice of capitalism demanding to 'go back to how things were'. And, they have convinced everyone that this is what has to happen."
We are going onto over a million deaths from Covid-19 and all we hear is open schools, go back to work, go back to shopping, die for what exactly? Risk your life so you can make barely enough to survive. All the while those 300 people, in the US who were born with leftover capital from a dead relative, are making more, and more, and more, and more wealth. They rule us through their corporations, their insurance companies, their monopolies, their lobbyists, their campaign contributions, and now their laws.
And as you say above, all thought of progress has been shut down. Something is going to break here and it won't be the peasants.
