"Capitalism will never eliminate homelessness because the threat of homelessness motivates low wages"

@markisevil@mastodon.ie illegal immigration promotes low wages. Plus the system we have now is nothing like capitalism. Its more of a socialist system aka croney capitalism.

@markisevil secret anticapitalism hack unlocked: eliminate homelessness

[raganwald@social.bau-ha.us]

@markisevil The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class: Keep ‘em showin’ up at those jobs.

@markisevil That argument seems to assume that capitalists conspire together - which may be true. The counter-argument is that if there's a profit to be made from housing people, it only takes one capitalist to break from the cartel.
