Ain't no one getting excited about any kind of capitalism any more 🤮🤢
Except those that profit by it ... and that group will shrink as the middle class is torn apart.
The middle class is gone friend. For 99% of America two educated working full-time adults don't earn the same purchasing power as one of their grandfather's.
Anyone who insists that there's a middle class is delusional
Any home owner is delusional if they think their home ownership would survive a single cancer diagnosis.
The system is designed to ensure that you'll lose everything by the end, no matter what. The only peaceful resistance we have left is to refuse to breed, denying them more chattal.
My friend, we can all stop going to work before we stop breeding.
You made me look! It looks like the younger demographics (under 30) were about evenly split on favorable/disfavorable views of both capitalism and socialism in 2022. Pew Research Link
It skews more toward capitalism for each older age bracket, which makes intuitive sense. Regardless, some interesting stats in there.
That's because all the Communist nations keep failing, and there's only a couple left that haven't already switched to Capitalism.
Which one of these haven't been sabotaged with by a US coup? And let's not pretend there are no failed capitalist countries either
