All things fall and are built again,
And those who build them again are gay.
Yeats
Come on. Both of you know what capitalism is. Both of you know the
history, the defeats, the famines, the deaths from overwork, the
hundreds of millions (over time billions) of peaaants ground down, the
endless Kill All, Burn All, Loot All campaigns of pacification, the
50-hour or longer work weeks of skilled workers in the factories of the
"Golden Age" of capitalism, the broken lives from corporate mergers. The
list is endless. And unlike those billions you are among the supremely
fortunate who can NAME the source of it all.
What is different about the present to generate such gloom?
Come on.
