we know Karl Marx got it all wrong the fight isn’t among capitalists and workers the fight is among people who work hard and others who hardly work steal all the credit What does Joao want to say---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joao, I think the fight is still between the workers and the capitalists. Capitalism, as practiced in the US this century, is dependent on the US Govt subsidizing the losses of private companies while the share holders divvy up all the profits. In the age of the corona virus, the US threw a bone to the workers too. Dr. Death, AKA, Donald Trump sent $1,200 to every registered tax payer with the instructions to spend the same. 30 million workers have lost their jobs in the US. 70,000 have lost their lives. Those getting the most help though, are the people who are losing their capital. It always pays to have friends in high places. Mervyn
