All forms of capitalism benefit the capital owning class. They created this system exactly to do that.
From the state, to nationalism, to the police, to banking and finance, wage labour etc etc. It’s all capitalism and it’s all to benefit the capital owning class.
How the hell would it be any other way?
Everything we have that make this shit more liveable was won with blood by leftists, syndicalists, communists, anarchists etc. The 8 hour workday, weekends, benefits, minimum wages, public health…
There is no capitalism that is good for “everyone else” ever. Why would the system controlled by capital owners benefit anyone but them??
Exactly, if Reagan didn't implement those economic crime laws, another politician eager for power would.
The dictatorship of the bourgeoisie will always produce individuals that support it in one way or another.
