  • Hey, bud?

    Maybe you should think about how they could possibly waste all that money while turning a profit. Then ask yourself what other industries are doing the same thing?

    Is it, maybe, just maybe, all of them?

    Is that why you’re expected to work a job you hate until the day you die despite productivity being higher than it’s ever been?

    Like, absurdly so. Maybe ask yourself why society could function reasonably well when a farmer could feed five people but things are more or less the same but with cellphones when they feed 150 instead.








  • When it’s to attack a foreign nation that’s not even threatening you, for sure. Definitely a weapon of the capitalist class against both their own people and other capitalists.

    But when you’re being attacked?

    I don’t have a problem with, for random example, the Soviet Union drafting millions of people to beat the Nazis. Or America. Or Britain. Just the aggressors in a war are committing enslavement, the defenders can at least be argued to being entitled to a collectivised defense.

    I’d say even Mao drafting people for the Civil War didn’t count (all people living under capitalism being understood to be being attacked and the KMT being genocidal corrupt warlords regardless who started the first period of the war in the first place)
