    More and more, people are finding out how shitty capitalism is. But they often fail to identify the real problem: the rich. Everything is a sham because a very small group of people have all of the wealth. Change that and ordinary people can have something too.

      I really hate to say this, but the issue is not only the rich.

      The issue is the voters themselves.

      You could open a new dental school in every province. Tuition will be very affordable, but graduates will be required to work 5 years for a public dental clinic. The dental schools and public dental clinics will be funded by taxing soda, alcohol and cakes.

      Any politician that suggests that will be immediately accused of creating a nanny state.

        The rich manipulate the voters. A portion of the population are stupid as fuck and fall for culture war scams, but it’s at the behest of the rich to keep us from developing class solidarity.
