    The workers' side:

    https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/03/17/striking-truthdig-staffers-respond-to-the-publisher/

    The capitalist boss, by the way, hates capitalism, and has used her online newsletter, Truthdig, to attack it year after year. I wonder why she didn't put her socialist convictions into practice, and allow the newsletter to be run by its workers?

    I think they call this irony.

    The letter this slimy Kaufman woman was trying to get everyone to sign?

    WalMart would be like "Dam - why didn't we think of that?"

    Nobody gets fired under socialism because slaves don't get fired.

    It is a wonder how socialist get so rich.

    If you claim to be a socialist and you are wealthy, you are a corrupt hack.

    If your socialist run agricultural "land experiment" doesn't produce crop yields at socialist prescribed levels they won't make you feel pain or deprive you of anything; they'll just tell you to please, please, please try harder on the next agricultural centralized plan.

    That was not the case when slavery was legal in the US, when a slave gets fired they get killed.

    Is that why US farmers are destroying food in the fields because capitalism works so well? Is that why there are mile long lines at food banks in the US?

    Farmers have to destroy their crop assets and take the loss, maybe lose the farm, because of lockdown. Thankfully lockdown is being lifted or there would be mass starvation across the USA under lockdown.

    Yes, that is true, there is very little capitalism left in the US the Corporations have taken over since politicians allow monopolies to exist.

    Threads like this illustrate why Chinese communist and American Democrats get along so well. It's like they are on the same team.

    Farmers have been taking a loss for three years with Trump and it has cost the taxpayer around 40 trillion dollars in subsidies...

    The last thing an American Democrat would do is start a trade war with the Chinese Democrats in China. Unfair trade deals is just another way Democrats plan to manage America's decline into a new normal.

    What's that saying?

    Get woke, big profits.

    Get woke, we win.

    Something like that.

    Well let's close the farms.

    Socialists are funny.

    The first thing they do under a socialist government is starve.

    Wonder how that happens.

    I would imagine a large number of people in socialist countries don't want to be slaves

    I've been assured they're workers paradises though.

    Their gulags pay a living wage.
