The irony of modern capitalism being so weak and useless that only the most socialist healthcare systems and “bailouts” can save it from crashing in to oblivion. These fundamentally socialist systems are the only defence we have to help save an ever increasingly unequal, predatory capitalist system. And yet Universal Basic Income is still lied about, labourers getting their fair share of corporate profits is mocked, and yet at the same time billionaires have never been more unpopular. Elon Musk recently pointed this out in the same shallow way the newest lame seasons of WestWorld made the point: If a man (usually white with an expensive education) has millions or even billions of capital he must be a toxic psychopathic monster. But these individuals like Bill Gates or Beezos or Bloomberg are just the lucky winners in a rigged lottery scam, that which is global and mostly doesn’t care if the individual is white or male or a “globalist”. None of these categories are relevant when it is a world-wide accepted system that dehumanizes people, so it can enslave many people for the capital gains of a small few. In the end cooperation, not competition, will once again save peoples lives and boost the economy. And ask an Amazon employee or McDonalds employee this: If your labour is so important to the company how come you will never receive even 0.001% of the company’s profits?
