So youβre with the 1960 Manhattan Rand Greenspan, Branden and egregious Edward Bernays objectivists society or club – words are things right? I must say it makes for incredibly tedious not to say nerve-wracking reading
..a metaphor metaphor my kingdom for a bad metaphor
π€οΈοΈSo youβre up I can see why youβre up. Itβs bloody ridiculousπ€οΈοΈ

.. YEAH we got that 100 years ago. They had a strike in 1926. You might remember it. Oh well you know I mean the thing about arguments with history as you have to be there to know what the hell youβre talking about. Right? Right.
Thank you for your minuscule contribution on the evergreen topic of Landlords & Property- owners versus Stalwart-workmen – not a [π€οΈοΈball terrorπ€οΈοΈ] β½οΈ -tearer sure but well worth a quick read.

The free market doesn’t give a fuck about you or societyβ¦
The free marketβs job is to make money. If it can do that by providing a service, it will, if it can make more money but gutting that service, it will.
The fact that society is crumbling under capitalism isn’t a sign of capitalism’s failure, its the capitalists realising a LOT more profit can be made by ripping society apart than by serving it.
That’s why doors are falling of Boeing planes, that’s why every industry has mass lay offs, that’s why everything in the supermarket is shrinking while prices skyrocket, that’s why they devastate natural environments to dig for more coal or harvest rainforests, that’s why Skydance is monopolising all mass media production, that’s why they are dropping bombs on Palestine and Somalia, and why Congolese kids are working in big tech lithium mines, so techbros can build camera’s everywhere to spy on you 24/7β¦
This is not failure to capitalism, this is maximising shareholder value, the only metric by which success is measured.
The fact that the world it creates is a nightmare dystopia with no future, is simply the cost of doing business under capitalism.
The free market simply means the worst people on earth are FREE from the consequences of their actions.
Socialism exists, to prove them wrong.
