    Surpused this got printed in fluff news, mind you when the public “journalism” slush fund dries up I guess it’s tempting to print the truth

    Written by a true liberal who would like things to return to the Victorian era of wealthy minority capitalist "upper class" and stunningly poor "lower class", many surplus to requirements thus allowing wages to be kept at a subsistence level.

    Also reintroduce other Victorian novelties such as: no environmental protection at all. Only the "deserving" poor get help. Noblesse oblige and droit de seigneur*. As a lifelong socialist, I am not too upset by this because it will inevitably lead to the rising up of the working classes, and the rich being eaten.

    Cause in every attempt of Socialism, the Working classes did *so* well.. Right? Right?


    Interestingly enough - yes, only the Deserving poor should get help.

    You should understand who controls the wealth in communist countries like China and Russia, the politicians and their friends, the working class are far worse off in these socialist, communist countries, even so called white socialist Scandinavian countries have their economies based upon capitalism.

    These countries like the Netherlands, Iceland, Switzerland like to boast about their socialist policies but in reality Iceland/Greenland built there economies on oil and used the profits to invest in the US share market, you'll be surprised how much of a stake these so called socialist countries have in the likes of Apple, and as for Switzerland socialism, that whole country is built on the international banking system with its international clients that don't pay tax..yet the happy citizens pay some of the highest tax in the world.

    Given the 99%-1% distribution that meal may be rather very brief. Likely to be followed by the poor eating the poor.
