How is this not happening right now in the US? Politicians are constantly enriching themselves up while ordinary people had to wait for paltry handouts during covid no? Then, when their profits were drying up the politicians and the CEOs wanted ordinary people to get back to work and school, while there's a pandemic. Like you can keep calling these "leftists" in these threads all the names you want, but if you don't even understand how fucked the average person in the US is, you're worthy of pity.

We already live in a Marxist society. You just haven't realized it yet. The problem with capitalism is that it only works when everyone agrees to play by the rules . . . and this creates a huge asymmetric payoff for those who do not. All you have to do is bribe a few politicians to give you the ability to print trillions of dollars of "stimulus" and then you don't have to do all of that annoying 'work' to obtain things. Left and right are terrible terms because both political parties today are Marxist, as politics is simply theater. You see, the asymmetric payoff depends on you playing by the rules even as they don't. So you have to believe that all that is necessary for change is voting for some random politician.

In related news, there is no pandemic. The CDC finally released their figures that only 6,000 Americans have died of COVID without any comorbidities. COVID is at most about as dangerous as the flu. So why did our government and media react as they did? Because you are most easy to control when you are afraid.
