It was this realisation that truly radicalised me - Universal healthcare, food, childcare, housing, good welfare, well-defended equality and rights, these things are GOOD for the economy. Never mind the workers - these things would make the RICH bourgeois class richer.

And they're still against them. Because extremely short-term profits are better. And control over a beaten, oppressed class is easier. And you feel more on-top if you punish everyone else enough. People say capitalism is about profit - but it isn't. It's about capital ever-more concentrating the world's wealth into itself, whether by profit, theft, or simply destroying all other wealth.

Capitalism is a suicidal and sadistic death cult.
