@GeriAQuin there comes a point where you squeeze workers of all non essential spending power and then, what a shock, a whole load of non essential industries suffer. top notch capitalisming, guys

@ASprinkleofSage @GeriAQuin

This is the thing, apart from the points others have made about not needing to replace things actually being a positive, what the current batch of capitalists don't seem to realise is that people need to have money to spend to keep the whole capitalist edifice going and there are only so many people you can fire and benefits you can cut or keep suppressed before it all starts to fall apart.

@adaliabooks @GeriAQuin you only get one generation of capitalists / imperialists who remember how the system works and then their overconfident idiot offspring trash it all
