ElizabethI’m reading “Poverty, By America” by Matthew Desmond and he doesn’t explicitly mention capitalism until the last few pages of the book. Then he says it’s wrong to blame capitalism, when it is the system he just described. WTF.
Michael Kranz@MissCherryPi so, he describes primitive capital accumulation, then the ways capital influences policy… and then equates “blam[ing] capitalism” to xenophobia? Wild move
@mkranz Times like these when I realize I really am a leftist because the sheer liberalism of this book astounded me.
