      It’s absolutely amazing that people who actively comment on economic models don’t actually understand them. Why don’t they use google if their education failed them? Mind boggling.

      One of the best tricks performed against the working class was convincing them all the bad stuff in the world wasn’t in part caused by capitalism, so the more bad stuff means we aren’t capitalisming hard enough. Gotta throw more money at top percenters and corpos so they can “make jobs” and “reinvest in the region”.

      All of the rowers should be seated facing the same way with their backs to the prow

      The real problem this image demonstrates is that this is what communism looks like when it goes wrong, but what capitalism looks like when it’s working exactly as designed.

      This image could apply to both equally. In both societies you have rich and poor. Communism doesn’t magically erase societal classes at least it hasn’t in any society it’s been implemented in.

      The problem is there has never been a genuinely Communist state, in which the workers actually owned and controlled the means of production. There were a series of dictators from Stalin on in Russia and Mao on in China. In Russia or China, the apparatchik leaders would be the ones on the top deck and the ordinary workers are the galley slaves.

      It’s the same problem we have now with calling MAGA “Conservatives”. They aren’t, they are right-wing reactionaries, but the usage of the label is being changed over time. Same with “Communist”: many conflate it with Stalinism, which is very different.

      This is neither capitalism nor socialism, this is a figure representing exploitation. It can happen in both systems and both systems can exist without having it. Stop saying it is “literally X” and creating an artificial division, economic systems go alongside political systems and neither is a black and white issue.

      If you’re in the west, you are the upper class relying on a permanent underclass to keep things going. Count yourself lucky!
