Please don’t read comments until you’ve read this. It is very short and fast to read. It is radicalizing. It is a good short story to send to your friend who needs to understand what capitalism is.

Let’s discuss in the comments below.
I definitely didn’t get it and when I googled it i got some weird ass lib arguement that its why communism doesn’t work because it requires the miserable person (gulags i guess) i dunno it was weird.
I didn’t get most politics at the time but i tried. I remember googling why are unions bad? because i didn’t get why all authorities told me they are bad, it sounded dope as hell. When I was taught communism in school the teacher told me it wouldn’t work and i just accepted it while trying to rack my brain for arguements for it. I couldn’t come up with it and it was just so universal i just accepted it. so i just became a bluedog lib. its really funny to see my pre/early political thoughts and how i went from left sympathizer to blue dog to soc dem to dem soc to left unity leftist.
The entire system is set up for you to turn right, so any time you stay left, it’s a good thing.
