    "There is room at the top they are telling you still

    But first you must learn how to smile as you kill

    If you want to be like the folks on the hill

    A working class hero is something to be"

    I think you’re missing the point. The OP is saying that capitalism makes the working class compete amongst themselves for the leftover crumbs. It does not disagree with you that the fight is rich vs poor/capitalists vs workers/ruling class vs the rest of us.

    I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m educating my son just so he can survive. Between climate change and fascists, he’s going to have a challenge.

    Inb4 antinatalist defeatism; humanity can do better than this and Eugene Debs knew it.
