[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5102971, member: 76643"] It's hilarious that you think CNN is the "Voice of Communism" when it's just milquetoast liberalism! Imagine a major media corporation being committed to its own demise lmao! You don't get that exploitation is about control. It's not about how well, or poorly, you're being exploited, or whether you "feel" exploited, e.g., whether you have a good or bad price on your head. We all still have a bounty. Yes it's better to have a higher bounty than a lower, but it's still a shameful condition. In Ancient Rome there were plenty of slaves who were quite rich compared to the plebs (the commoners). But they were still slaves. Now we live in a society that coddles dependency precisely because it does not give people the land, resources, and skills necessary for autonomy. The autonomy of the masses would not reproduce capital: it takes a lot of schooling, and other training, and legal relationships to get people to acquiesce to conditions like ours. And I gather you would be opposed to any moves by the populace to take these matters into their own hands. Because you can't imagine there was ever anything better, or that there could be anything better. [/QUOTE]
