What's your opinion on Marx' theory of alienation

Sticks48 replies on Mar 8, 2018:

@cuddlyfish Give me a better option. People bitch about taxes, but they want roads, water, sewers, electricity, etc. Could it be more efficient, Sure? But Americans don't vote. That is the only power you have. The President has very limited power. The Congress has the power. Vote them out. You vote them out in large numbers, you get their attention. People keep sending the same assholes back to Washington then complain that nothing changes. See what a bunch of high school students did in Fla. Get off your asses and do something besides whine.

Sticks48 replies on Mar 8, 2018:

Comparing Capitalism to slavery is beyond stupid. Tell a black person your comparison and see what their reaction is. You can walk away from your job anytime you want. If you feel trapped in your job that is something you created. Slaves had no such option. Maybe you are too lazy or not smart enough to start your own business, but that would be on you again.
