You thought I was kidding about death camps

They're already here, with Dump and the Repugs being a death cult. Death for us, that is: the workers, the aged, the downtrodden, those not deserving of life. From this piece:

"Our ruling classes are coming to the conclusion that in the contest between loss of profit and loss of life, they choose death. [...] Rising among the ruling class — centered on the Republican Party, but not found only there — is what we might call the Party of Death. [...] Large masses of people who are, for the ruling class, regarded as too old, too sick, or too otherwise unproductive to be profitable. For the Party of Death, the pandemic itself begins to appear economically useful, and the measures needed to combat it can come to be seen as worse than the disease — which, from the narrow perspective of capital accumulation, they may well be."
