Americans talk big about standing up to corporations but don't actually do it. We don't join unions and we vote for corporate-approved "moderate” candidates in primaries, who then veto any attempt at making life even slightly better for workers.
Just look at what happened in ny recently. We couldn't even get a very basic protection against non-competes without some "moderate" shill vetoing it because it cuts into some slug's profits. And that shill is a Democrat btw.
Americans are cowed. People joke about guillotines but Americans can't even vote for pro-labor candidates without acting like it's communism. There won't be any violent resolution here, there aren't even labor protests .
Many of my friends are very left-wing, eat the rich types, yet still have piles of Amazon boxes at their door because they automatically use it to buy everything. Unless it's convenient, change will never happen.
We're acting like that at the end of the day violence isn't a universal language. The country as we know it was created because the diplomatic channels didn't work.
The owners have gotten so much better at propagandizing the peasants from birth with the media they own and the curriculum they inform having long captured state and federal governments that there are literally millions of poor victims of this system that will fight to defend it against their own interests.
True believers who kill themselves working for shareholders who would never even bother to learn their name, let alone let them into their country clubs, deluded into literally believing anything but this rigged market capitalist hellscape must be an evil marxist, Leninist, socialist, communist word salad of terms they don't understand at all but were indoctrinated to hate and fear anyway blindly.
The owner's numbers are tiny. Their doting, self-hating class traitors begging for senpai oligarch's love that will never come are what prevents what you propose.
Nononono. It’s not the super wealthy people that are the problem. It’s the poor people from a different ethnicity or gender that are the problem! And don’t even get me started about the middle class people from earlier generations.
