other capitalist countries. The number of disposable humans increases
daily, as the capitalist bosses find ways to make more profits with
fewer wage-slaves.

Most workers put in far more than they will ever get back. That is the
definition of capitalism.

There are many well-educated people among the unemployed. Education and
aptitude are no guarantees of success in capitalist society. In order
to "achieve", a person needs to be cunning and heartless. A system that
gives the greatest rewards to those with the least compassion is a
disgusting system.

The only right a worker has under capitalism is the right to choose
a master. Once under the control of a boss, he or she no longer has
any rights except those granted by the "superior". Workers are told
when to show up, when to go home, and what to do in between. They are
monitored, evaluated and disciplined. They are paid a small fraction
of the value they produce for the boss. If they refuse the master's
orders, they can be "fired" and the cycle begins again.
Under this kind of near-total submission to authority, all talk of
rights and freedoms is a cruel joke.
