Last June I wrote a post called “Capitalism Requires Indifference to Human Life”. There was plenty of evidence for that opinion in the news this week. Living in the twilight of a system based on exploitation and oppression, where the obscene wealth of a few requires the impoverishment of the many, and which is enforced in the last analysis through violence inevitably breeds more violence and cruelty.
"Unsurprisingly in a society that criminalizes poverty..."
Key observation. Thanks, Matt.
