    Last time I checked the rich HATE paying taxes, they HATE people voting for fairer labor laws, they HATE being told they can’t use illegal means to produce goods, and they HATE having to pay for regulatory bodies making sure their products are safe and efficient.

    Democracy is the enemy of the rich.

      You seriously just got all of your history from reddit and twitter eh. A fundamental element in neoliberalism is corporate welfare dude, your misunderstanding of politics as simple “I like this” or “I do not like this” is incompatible with even the concept of appropriation as it depends on a world where interests are as pure as ideals. I’m sorry but the world is more complex than your funny memes online where fixing the world is as simple as thinking the right thing.

      I will not be paying attention to you again, I will not even read your response. If you’re interested in actually learning, feel free to dm and get a reading list and nothing more.
