    Liberals need to get it through their heads that socialism for the rich is just capitalism. That’s how it has always been. That’s what capitalism actually is, the free market is propaganda that they feed to liberals to keep you from realizing capitalism is inherently bad.

      its why people say “fascism is capitalism in decline”, germany and italy saw massive government involvement in businesses: not to control or regulate them, but to bail them out.

        antiwork no longer means the abolition of the oppressive relationship with the capital owning class in which we sell our labor as a commodity.

        it’s been completely co-opted as a place for milquetoast reform (capitalism will work if we put the right people in charge and call it socialism), and low-effort outrage-porn.
