(5,079 posts)Capitalism sucks. Its an unfair system that caters to the ruling class and the ruling class alone.
Theyll tell you socialism or communism never worked even though they have. Theyll tell you we need a mix of capitalism and socialism when that has proven to have failed because the ruling class can very easily reverse the little progress we make. As evidenced by where we are now.
Let the workers get a tiny bit of an upper hand and theyll snatch it away immediately. See the Taft-Hartley act for the proof of that. That was 1947.
We need to at least try to get the workers to understand how badly theyre getting fucked by the capitalist system we live under. Instead of fighting the stupid, petty social issues that divide us and let the ruling class pick our pockets, we need the working class to put all that bullshit aside and unite against those bastards and take back what is ours, all of ours.
