• It honestly baffles me that the capitalists as a whole aren’t even good at capitalism or imperialism. They’re incredibly stupid, petulant babies who care more about doing evil and not having to share than they even care about actually making money.

        They want the inequality more than the wealth. There are things that secure, healthy, educated, organized workers won’t do for any price. The leverage to coerce is the real wealth to them.
