I come from the future where we buried capital and colony, and secured enduring peace and plenty through eternal revolution. It boggles my mind that not only are such atrocities as poverty wantonly inflicted, but the way-of-things in America *depends* on that cruelty. The reserve army of labor exists solely to depress the price of labor, and labor only has a price as a result of normalized wage slavery. You call the originators of these policies and practices “the government” but it sure seems a lot more like a well-armed pageantry preventing governance from occurring.
