"Thanksgiving" - An argument for the unceremonious abolishment of capitalism
On this day, millions of already corpulent Americans will gorge themselves on poultry and treacle-sodden sweet potatoes while billions worldwide go hungry. Tomorrow, these same bourgeois gluttons will descend on their corporatist temples in order to save pennies on the latest technological flotsam. And whom labours to produce these baubles? The very same starving children that are deprived food so that Americans may indulge!
Has there ever been a greater argument for relegating capitalism to the rubbish bin of history than this festival of excess?
