The New Slavery

THE POWER OF CAPITALISM HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT OF A FUNNEL. IN BASE TERMS IT FUNNELS MONEY FROM MANY PEOPLE TO ONE PERSON IN THE NAME OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP. THAT PERSON IS A NEW GOD.

The new slavery is a corporate one with the support of an underclass that relies on the support of the state. Fear avoidance through migration is the new status quo. What would Marx make of this?

HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT THE MOST ENERGY OF THOSE IN POWER IS SPENT ON APPEARANCES? FROM MARKETING TO LEGAL. WHO MAKES ANYTHING ANYMORE? AND SOON ROBOTS WILL MAKE EVERYTHING RENDERING THE UNDERCLASS USELESS AND THE CORPORATE SLAVE, THE PERSON WHO 'MADE IT', MORE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THE NEEDS OF THE SYSTEM.

At the Amazon headquarters in Seattle, home to much of the top 1%, are ubiquitous Amazon hubs or lockers. I am sure this is regarded as a 'service'. However, it is a necessary that those making wealth endulge the system that makes their wealth - like a serpent eating its tail.

Seen on the bathroom wall: "Bill Gates is an asshole who destroyed this world AND he knows it (Excel, Artificial Intelligence, and other un-human mechanisms). He carries the weight of this guilt and is the reason he looks 150. He is trying to undo all the bad he has done with his bullshit Malaria causes, etc. What kind of person would put up with him for all those years? How many more years are we going to believe in these "advances", "improvements", "the future". What is up with that hollow look in his eyes and of Zuckerberg, Musk, and Bezos - a deep dark nothingness of no feeling. Are we being taken over by an alien force in disguise and subdued into a listless, opiated mass for their benefit."
