Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

The irony of what you say is that the founding of this nation was a rejection of fuedalism. And socialism is basically feudalism writ large.

[ "Jack London called Upton Sinclair's The Jungle "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery". London was a fellow socialist author and contemporary of Sinclair's.
Explanation
The Jungle is a novel by Upton Sinclair that depicts the harsh lives of working-class immigrants in Chicago's meatpacking plants. London praised the book for its ability to expose the cruelty of the wage slave system, similar to how Uncle Tom's Cabin exposed the cruelty of slavery. " ]
As I recently re-read Upton Sinclair's " The Jungle " from cover to cover I can testify that the novel was much more than a literary expose of the meat industry's contempt for public health concerns circa 1900 .
Even now in the 21st century we are getting almost daily news reports of recalled food products found to be hazardous to public health. More than a hundred years after " The Jungle " the FOR PROFIT economic system of " OUR democracy " is no friend of the exploited and oppressed working class.
" The Homeless " people are also a major theme in Upton Sinclair's " The Jungle " . With many freezing to death in the winter. Sounds familiar ?
