    Oh, well as long as the economy is growing/metastasizing for the private shareholder owner class, the society that perversely lives in subsistent servitude to it can continue to get fucked.

    This is why the neoliberals lost (yes I voted blue out of harm reduction).

    The laborers needed a party that protected the needs of the laborers from the greed of the capitalists.

    Instead we got, and even continue to get in defeat, “the economy is doing great! It’s you fucking peasants complaining about having enough to make rent and still eat that are wrong!”

    Economies are supposed to be lowly tools to benefit society through equitable distribution of goods and services, the tail has been wagging the dog for half a century, and it’s destroyed us.
