 @6fa57bb1 Capitalism runs on misery.
Without misery, it can not force the people to accept exploitation for others' opulence and other inhumane conditions that are motor of Capitalism.
Unemployment, currently resulting in risking malnourishment, loss of shelter, deficient healthcare, death, is just the mechanism to regulate some of that misery. The misery is the fuel.
