As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce. The wood of the forest, the grass of the field, and all the natural fruits of the earth, which, when land was in common, cost the labourer only the trouble of gathering them, come, even to him, to have an additional price fixed upon them. He must then pay for the licence to gather them; and must give up to the landlord a portion of what his labour either collects or produces.

That last one made me laugh out loud.

But, the Berlin wall seems pretty different from the wall on the southern US border. I think both are bad, and yet, my own home has walls.

Late-stage capitalism continues to consume itself.

The old-style exploiters had at least enough self-interest to provide slum dormitories for the peons who did the work, sometimes even turning them into company towns that increased the bottom line. These fools have just set themselves up for bankruptcy because they and their NIMBY customers don’t want the hoi polloi living in their town.

I wish they’d rephrase that Wealth distribution chart: 4th highest quintile is a really confusing way to say 2nd wealthiest.

That means nearly 85% of wealth is held by the 5th highest group?

Much like how Ben Shapiro’s comics can all be interpreted as “self owns”…

I mean, Stalin on a throne with not one but two grim reaper henchmen? Fucking metal, man.
