Everything has become stranger than fiction. You could NOT write a book about what is actually happening in the world right now. And all of us just seem to be going with it.
When neoliberalism impoverishes the 99 percent as it inevitably does, it proceeds to fascism to protect the wealthy. The fascists logically and eventually go after the useless eaters who cannot generate profit. And it will end with showers and ovens.
Imagine a company where the workers are all shareholders. Where you have to be a worker to be a shareholder. This absolutely terrifies the super-wealthy. Imagine owning the apartment you live in because renting is illegal. This absolutely terrifies the super-wealthy. Imagine a limit on personal wealth that is voted on by the entire population. This absolutely terrifies the super-wealthy.
The super-wealthy have slowly but surely dismantled almost all attempts to tax and regulate them over the last century and here we are with the richest person on Earth now dictating orders to the U.S. Congress. That richest person also being a fascist.
