    I know the answer to pretty much all of our “why the hell don’t we solve this already?” questions is: capitalism.

    But I mean, as Lrrr would say “why does the working class, as the biggest of the classes, doesn’t just eat the other one?”.

      The short answer is friction. The friction of overcoming the forces of violence the larger class has at its disposal and utilizes at the smallest hint of uprising is greater than the friction of accepting the status quo.

        The end of history, with the fall of USSR and capitalism winning the propaganda wars, means most people don’t even see a different future.

        Why would you fight a future that looks the same?

        People need to wake up and have hope for a different, better future. That’s the only way they’ll more against this.

        But for that 100+ years of propaganda have to be overcome…
