Hasbro employee laid off after 25 years reflects on remarkable career

Ignorant people shout with contempt at homeless and hungry Americans : " Get a job ! " . But an unemployed person in a capitalist society gets a job only if some capitalist owner finds it profitable to hire him or her. In prison he or she might serve as CHEAP LABOR for the ruling class. If homeless , he or she will find shelter or a place to live only if it does not upset landlord-capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY rights. For more than 200 years now THE SYSTEM ( well before and well after Black slavery ) has been a system of exploitation and oppression of the entire working class. The STATE and THE LAW are hardly above the class struggle. And the TWO PARTY SYSTEM in " OUR democracy " serves the plutocracy as a whole , resolving minor disputes within it. The capitalist DEATH PENALTY serves to intimidate the working class more than as righteous vengeance in the name of " society ". The capitalists are no more in final control of THEIR system than they are of the weather or of pandemics. WE THE PEOPLE can expect more recessions and depressions, wars and crimes --and too often, impotent rioting. WE THE PEOPLE need an American Labor Party -like the British Labor Party but less stuffy and compromised. What now passes for CIVILIZATION may depend on it. In a universe where everything comes into existence and perishes, CAPITALISM is most certainly not forever.
