Cream get the money Dolla Dolla bill yall
Sounds like slavery with extra steps.
Sounds like pure slavery:
-
catch someone
-
take away their freedom
-
force them to work
Oh, there’s a trial and some other stuff. There are extra steps. Still slavery, though.
To get a slave, you had to go to the slave market. Same deal
-
If your community knowingly depends on slavery then your community probably deserves to collapse
Not community. Economy.
Slavery, Prison labour, migrant labour that you can totally rip off and not pay, and lastly child labour. That’s what’s propping up the economy at this point…
So it’s just “we can’t abolish slavery because it will hurt all the poor slave-owners” but modernized.
Starting to wonder why Russia doesn’t have them.
Pretty lame deflection
Pretty much exact argument much of the south made about ending slavery before the american civil war happened…
Also frequently hear the same argument made for any change to the thoroughly corrupt healthcare scheme in the U.S.
That any form of socialized medicine would collapse the insurance industries putting thousands out of work and damaging stock portfolios and retirement accounts that may have invested in such. But hey, it’s totally ok to bankrupt tons of citizens and enslave ill folks to lousy jobs because they can’t afford to lose employment-tied insurance that would never be affordable as an individual.
Anything good for is but not thier bottom line: OH HEAVENS NO, THE EXPENSE!
Anything they can profit from: this is essential.
State prisons are not part of “capitalism”.
If you mean “capitalism+slavery”, then yes, this is known to cause problems, hence all the civil rights efforts since Renaissance to make citizens roughly equal (even cut aristocracy a bit) and every resident a citizen.
I am very smart dot jpg
Just not allowing myself to behave like an envious little punk. I do see problems with the existing social systems, it’s just that being prevented from robbing those who have more is not a problem. It’s a very good design feature.
There’s no billionaire who didn’t steal from the hard work of others. Every billionaire is a scoundrel of some sort, a thug if you try to take their cash cow from them.
Name a billionaire who has stolen from you or somebody you know and describe how.
Billionaires have constantly stolen wages by not increasing wages in line with inflation for their employees. Most recent examples: Jeff Bezos, Fast food giants.
Arguably almost all of them since they all seem to engage in some unethical behavior or another for profit.
A better question is to name which ones haven’t.
This should make it even easier for you to name one.
Dude obviously you are out of your league. Yes all profits are theft, you worked to make $100 profit for the company, they paid you $10, $90 is taken, it’s not hard. But even if you aren’t ready to learn about Marxism…
Walmart: Please, PLEASE defend the billionaires that own Wallmart… #1 in stealing wages, yes, wage theft, actual theft. Please look it up. Even not considering Marxist ideas, just plain old theft of wages. Their employees have to live on government handouts, IE: You are paying more in taxes because Wallmart won’t pay their employees a living wage… They’re stealing from you… Like, this isn’t hard.
Please use your brain. Bezos’ company bans their sellers from selling lower somewhere else, forcing a monopoly on low prices for Amazon. Those companies and people make less money… Like… C’mon, just because it isn’t illegal doesn’t mean it’s not theft. Also wage theft, Amazon commits massive wage theft…
Google steals your data.
Apple bans companies from repairing their products.
Oil companies literally cause problems in the middle east in order to control gas prices…
CEOs are making TONS of money off of… stealing… war… propaganda…
All of this creates more profits, and takes more money from you or their employees. Literally takes no effort to look this up. You are being contrarian for no reason. Or you are deliberately creating propaganda, because even if you don’t believe in Marxism, billionaires are still, easily, obviously, objectively, stealing…
I take solace in your downvotes that your opinions are unpopular and wrong and as such no one believes you. Look on the plus side, your brown nose covered in poo will protect you from the sun.
This is not a meme…
Once you know how and why was the private prisons created or operate and “earn” their money you would be sad if not depressed…
I recommend watching a documentary on this topic.
 
I’m not disagreeing with you, but you should really at least name a documentary and share some insight that it brings.
Using underpaid prison labor to deny people access to well-paying jobs, forcing more people into difficult situations.
Which again raises crime, which in turn raises the amount of underpaid prison labor.
Does he think Arizonans wouldn’t like those jobs for decent pay?
But think of the shareholders!
So they are literally forced labour camps? How can anyone in the US still complain about Russia? (Just as a disclaimer, this is not a defence of Russia. I think the conditions there are terrible, but the US doesn’t seem far behind, if at all)
Russia’s actively committing genocide and threatens nuclear war against anyone who directly intervenes, so there’s that.
I agree with you though. The U.S. is just a third world country with a nice coat of paint at this point.
And in Russia, they toss people in prison for disagreeing with the state, so there’s that.
Assange?
Criticize the US all you want, but he didn’t get targeted for disagreeing with the state.
He published evidence of US war crimes and is being persecuted for it. How is that not disagreeing with the state?
Prison colonies in Russia are indeed worse than in USA. People die from sickness and malnutrition there who’d come there healthy. And, of course, because of beatings with broken bones etc which somehow nobody knows about until the prisoner dies.
Things like rape and unofficial hierarchy seem to exist in US prisons too, but in general seems just uncomparable.
But people die due to e.g. bad ventilation, missing cooling and failing disease control in the US too.
Just have a look at how great the US prison systems have handled Covid.
The mortality in US prisons is ~40% than in the general population, and that is not counting 2020, where it was ~60% higher.
I’m not arguing it’s bad, but really still not Russian levels.
Source? Is it Hollywood movies?
Source is living in Russia for 27 years and talking to people, also reading stuff from various leaks etc. And obviously mass media. If you are asking about Russia.
If you are asking about USA, then my only sources are mass media and Reddit.
Fair enough, I believe you.
Guys but China is the bad one!!%(+%!
There can be 2 bad guys.
True, they’re all bad lets focus on the countries we live in.
No, let’s condemn all the rotten ones. We as a world should not tolerate genocide. Fuck china and fuck any apologist. May their darkest nightmare become reality.
Why is it that all of your comments are anti-china and you have no comments critiquing other posts about negative things the USA has done? You’re saying let’s condemn all the rotten ones, but you seem to be condeming only a certain group of ones you think are rotten. I think you might be biased against China guy.
Why did you bring up China at all?
