You know, the corporatism of saying, well, we're going to tax all of the energy and we're going to block the resources and then we're going to take the money and give it to the government who's going to dole it out to all of these corporate insiders who claim
that they are doing something for the environment.
When, in fact, you look very carefully, it's all BS.
In fact, they have no problem directing much of that money to China, which is opening two coal fire plants a week.
So it has nothing to do with the environment.
It is entirely a pretext.
to take from the working classes and give to a small group of insiders through the mechanism of the state.
So whether you're talking about the net zero fraud or massive government redistribution schemes or just an overall growth in the bureaucracy, or even on the speech side, it's all about concentrating power and money in the hands of fewer and fewer people while taking away the opportunities of the people who actually do the work.
The same phenomenon.
Because here again...
What happened?
A corporate elite was able to drive down wages and drive up rent.
Why?
They brought in low-wage temporary foreign workers.
And they brought in enormous numbers of so-called students.
Many of them weren't actually studying.
But they ultimately provided a source of low-wage labor.
and created a major demand for a fixed supply of housing.
So the rent went up and the wages went down.
And those multinationals that benefited from it, they concentrated even more wealth, while the working classes ultimately got shot out of jobs and homes.
