      That is Capitalism in reality when the property owning elites cooperated with corrupted government officers and “non-profit” organizations to hoard the wealth of nations and use the hoarded wealth to dictate the reward and punishment of people according to their level of bootlicking to the rich 1% contrary to their alleged principle of minimal government intervention. Their willingness to oppose the invisible hand of the free market is that reason that they use the military to shoot down a crowd of peaceful protestors who demand meritocracy and accountability and the reason that they enforce heavy government intervention against the decision of the invisible hand of the free market to recruit scary red masterminds into key positions of Pax Americana to babysit the lazy Capitalists.

    Some slave owners like Jeff Bezos are so nice that they even thank their slaves for all their hard work that they did to send their master into space for a couple seconds on a phallic rocket.

    I mean, these people say what Marx said - life consists of working at various things to express our full humanity. And the circle concept is pretty much spot on for how it should work.

    Except, you know, when you decide you’re going to intermediate that circle, interrupt it’s flow entirely, alienate billions of people from their work, extract surplus value so that you don’t have to work, and force everyone into a death spiral.
