'...forced to drift into abstractions to avoid dealing with actual human conditions...'

Very tired of this - they do it to us at home as well, but their total disregard for human beings in other countries, if that's not racism, I don't know what it is.

The reduction of human labor to a commodity to be traded is pure evil. The blind eyes to a society that keeps humans imprisoned in poverty, calling it free trade and other such euphemisms, is just plain sick.

We had free trade when we had the slave trade, didn't we? Free for who, when they weren't free?

Only the masters, of whom the right wingers are running their mouths for night and day. It's a disgrace to hear this out of the mouth of a person who dares to call themselves an American. Dead presidents and civil rights leaders are spinning in their graves that these oligarch apologists get so much attention.
