Capitalism is indeed somewhat broken in this sense – in its current form, wealth is a funnel, and it moves towards the more wealthy from the less wealthy. However, it’s still not feudalism and it could definitely get worse.
What would you propose as incremental changes towards a future you wish to see?
It’s not feudalism, in that we don’t have a monarchy, but we indeed have a ruling class, and we have a working class that is perennially 1 missed paycheque away from absolute destitution. We get taxed to oblivion, with no services to show for it. Our roads are crumbling, healthcare has almost been stripped from us, labour protections gutted, sick days confiscated, and everything gets more expensive while wages stagnate. Feudalism may be cynical, but this aint your grandpappies capitalism. Fuck neoliberalism. Fuck Nixon. Fuck Reagan. Fuck status quo politicians. Fuck politicians with income properites.
