Capitalism is why your boss is an asshole

This article explores how capitalism is an inherently undemocratic dictatorship. I can't tell you how many times I've had bosses tell me that "this is not a democracy" at work. And it isn't. It's about dictators in charge of everything so they think they deserve to take everything and leave crumbs for the rest, even when they bankrupt the system like with the financial crisis. It's all based on the hero myth, that strong, all knowing guy that can lead us into salvation. And we blindly follow him, only it's into the hell he creates for us because we deserve it, not being heroes ourselves.

The linked article is much more diplomatic about it, but when we are out here starving there's no more time for diplomacy.
