  For everyone saying capitalism is already feudalism: as I explain in the video the difference is an economy based around extracting rent from fiefdoms vs. creating goods and services for profit.

  They always said &quot;just learn to fix the robots&quot; when the future came, they never told us they&apos;d only pay a pittance for doing it.

  Much as WW2 brought about the concept of Crimes Against Humanity, we’ll need to create and enforce the doctrine of Crimes Against the People

  I was a UPS employee for over 20 years. The way the technology was used to extract extra work out of us was astonishing. Things didn&apos;t make sense but they were designed to constantly always keep you busy. If you had a light day, it would make you drive extra miles just to make sure that you were constantly busy and not idle. I have so many examples of this. I should write a book about that wretched company.

  So so true. &nbsp;I was a corporate slave for 30 years- only after I left did I realize how hollow that existence is… no matter the position, you’re always just a number

  “Capitalists hate capitalism” is a very good way to put it. &nbsp;But sounds more accurate to say they hate free markets.
