At least there is light at the end of the tunnel. The same can't be said about biz admin or worthless university degrees that keep you in a debt trap.

Only the top 10-20% in IQ should go the university. The rest are wasting their time

more like the top 35%, which is what already happens. The people who can't hack it drop out which is why 50% of americans try college but only 35-38% end up with a degree.

top 10-20% is more like the cap for grad school population

if education is free you should almost always take it

The people who hang out on Liveleak or r/watchfeministcuntsgettheirfacesmashedwithabrick are not representative examples of humanity.

It's always been this way. Just probably not directed at you.

1. The internet is not real life, it’s not even a close reflection of it.
2. People who talk about that stuff aren’t that common (but they are more likely to voice their opinions hence making it seem like they are ) and a majority of them are being hyperbolic.

I mean why else is it that these things don’t really manifest in society - people don’t organise politically around them, let alone form vigiliante gangs and politicians who appeal to it don’t do well

Pretty much everyone with a salaried job has some kind of tax-deferred pension account whether its a 401k or a public retirement system like DRS in Washington. You need this to survive retirement, otherwise you will be working through your 70s.

So you double your savings. So what, you're still a tiny fraction of what porky owns.

What I find more interesting about OPs post is the notion that capital has just abandoned the workers even to the point of abandoning the must vulnerable in society: The elderly.

I know from my own personal experiences that capital, basically, at this point, has gone with the "Get fucked approach" basically when you can't work anymore you are useless and tossed aside to die in a gutter or where ever assuming you can't make your way to a nursing home for whatever reason. Nursing homes are almost worse though. They are basically just mass produced temporary grave yards to put people until they actually can be put under the dirt.

Under capitalism, we are lower than even livestock. We are tools to be used and subsequently discarded. We are non-persons.
The laborer under capitalism is rendered non-human.
The consequences of such degradation are apparent, alarming, and must be immediately addressed.

Simple, create so much of a surplus that people can retire at 45 and expect the same riches they got while working
That way they're able to have a fruitful retirement as a reward for their fruitful contribution to the technate

Puerto Rico: Power Outage Affects Numerous Areas of San Juan
Other substations in the San Juan metropolitan area also went out of service, such as the San Juan and Palo Seco power plants. Several witnesses reported that Guaynabo, Carolina, Hato Rey, Old San Juan, Miramar, Río Piedras, Luquillo, and Las Piedras were among the blackout areas. The Puerto Rico Fire Department has confirmed to local media its presence in the area of the explosion. "Units from DOE Hato Rey, Guaynabo, and Río Piedras are on their way to attend to the fire at the Monacillos station," they reported.

Uber and Lyft Ramp Up Legislative Efforts to Shield Business Model
As laid out in the draft, the companies would have signed an agreement with a single union giving it access to workers through corporate email systems. Once the union signed up 10 percent of the industry’s eligible workers and the state labor commissioner certified the arrangement, the union would have become the exclusive agent of all workers in the industry. No other union would have had a chance to represent them. Critics complained that the gig companies did not consult widely enough beyond some of the labor groups that stood to benefit — among them the machinists, which appeared likely to be the first to get email access to drivers, and the Transport Workers Union of America, which appeared to be first in line to get email access to delivery workers.

Errico Malatesta:Organization
Now, that organization, meaning association for a specific purpose and adopting the forms and means required in order to achieve that purpose, is a fundamental pre-requisite of living in society strikes us as self-evident. The isolated man cannot live even the life of a brute: other than in the tropics and when the population is exceedingly sparse, he cannot even feed himself; and remains, without exception, incapable of achieving a standard of living any better than the beasts’. Obliged, therefore, to combine forces with other people, and actually finding himself united with them as a result of the prior evolution of the species, he must either defer to the will of others (be a slave), or impose his own will on others (be an authority figure), or live in fraternal agreement with others for the sake of the greater good of all (be a partner). None can escape this need: and the most extravagant anti-organizers are not only subject to the overall organization of the society in which they live, but—even in purposeful acts in their own lives, and in their wrangles with organization—they come together and share the tasks and organize together with those of like mind and employ the means that society places at their disposal… provided, of course, that these are things genuinely wanted and enacted, rather than just vague, platonic aspirations and dreams dreamt. Anarchy signifies society organized without authority, authority being understood as the ability to impose one’s own wishes and not the inescapable and beneficial practice whereby the person who best understands and is most knowledgeable about the doing of something finds it easier to have his opinion heeded and, in that specific instance, serves as a guide for those less capable.

There Is No Labor Shortage, Only Labor Exploitation
For the past few months, Republicans have been waging a ferocious political battle to end federal unemployment benefits, based upon stated desires of saving the U.S. economy from a serious labor shortage. The logic, in the words of Republican politicians like Iowa Senator Joni Ernst, goes like this: “the government pays folks more to stay home than to go to work,” and therefore, “[p]ayingPost too long.

Based anarchad News Anon

I was wondering what happened with the g7 protests. I've heard not even a whisper out of them.

thanks news anon

No clue. Don't care.

Was it really socialism or some sort of benevolent fascism?

if you ever wonder why theres an uptick in "tankies" on the left its probably because every other alternative is run by embarrassing retards that think like pic related they're probably not run by this but they make up a loud minority that won't shut the fuck up

>>308763
Maupin's take on the Frankfurt school is literal dogshit

Do you think its helpful to amplify their sectarianism?

why does every namefag has to be seriously braindamaged, except for cpusa anon? I guess it goes hand in hand with westoid hyper-individualistic brainworms, just like "anarchism" and left-communism.

You live in such a idealistic bubble it's no wonder I see your name pop up so often, it's just your life and it's some pseudo-intellectual game for you.

>Fucking nobody thinks that markets should be kept indefinitely, not even market socialists.
why the fuck do they call themselves market socialists in that case?

>>312427
I've never seen anything that can replace the efficiency of the market. Cockshott is attempting to figure it out but he doesn't even have a working model so I'm not optimistic.

>>314535
Because they argue for using the market as an important step in development? Do you notice that the term is
market
>socialism

and not
market
>communism

>>314701
by this logic Lenin was a market socialist
