    Western Europeans: If you fucking “akshually my form of capitalism is good” on this post, then I swear upon my mother’s grave that you will never participate in this community again. You’re not that different.

      Mood, I also dislike it when people from the US say, they would just need western European capitalism. I already have that and it’s still depressing.

      Our form of capitalism is just what happens when capitalists try to placate the working class by giving them just barely enough breathing room that they stop actually revolting and keep to grumbling. And even that is under attack nowadays, under the pretext that their’s suddenly not enough money to sustain it even though the rich keep getting richer

        It turns “professional” workers into pathetic petit class traitors.

        They buy themselves maybe a generation of safety before capital demands more to feed the line.

        Pardon the rant. I’m high on tea.

    that looks outdated I think. us population is more now and the numbers only go to 2010. the new numbers are probably even worse.

    That housing statistic is what comes to mind any time a left or left-leaning person talks about needing to build more housing. We absolutely don’t need more housing, we need to redistribute what we have already.
