"From 2008 until 6 October 2023, 1,434 Palestinian children were reportedly killed, with an additional 32,175 sustaining injuries, primarily at the hands of Israeli occupation forces. Of these, 1,025 children were killed in Gaza alone, since the unlawful blockade began in 2007." - UN Human Rights, âUnchildedâ from birth: UN expert calls for decisive protection of Palestinian children under Israeli rule, 24 October 2023

Jesse is right, and to be honest capitalism is just based on renting human beings as if they are property. The employer-employee relationship is a very insidious dynamic. Employment is a rental contract. Like if you rented capital (say, a chainsaw from Home Depot), you pay rent for the "time preference" (basically the cost of time) for a piece of property. Capitalism is based on a principle of self ownership, which sounds empowering, until you realize that most people don't own capital goods other than themselves, and must rent out the authority over themselves as pieces of "human capital". This is a process of dehumanization where human beings are valued for their return on investment as capital goods. This is why, at the very least, capitalism needs unions and safety nets (or abolishment), or else the system won't value people for their human value. Importantly we must also think about our sick, elderly, and disabled people, as they can't provide competitive economic return for the investor class to value. We must figure out a way to change this economic system if we wish to value each other.

This is the lady that said there was a ceasefire on October 6th.... Um...

SHillary said there was a ceasefire on October 6... This is what she thinks of ceasefire looks like; "From 2008 until 6 October 2023, 1,434 Palestinian children were reportedly killed, with an additional 32,175 sustaining injuries, primarily at the hands of Israeli occupation forces. Of these, 1,025 children were killed in Gaza alone, since the unlawful blockade began in 2007." - UN Human Rights, âUnchildedâ from birth: UN expert calls for decisive protection of Palestinian children under Israeli rule, 24 October 2023

âCall it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all Godâs children.â
â MLK, Speech to the Negro American Labor Council, 1961.
âWe must recognize that we canât solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power⊠this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together⊠you canât really get rid of one without getting rid of the others⊠the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order.â
- MLK, Report to SCLC Staff, May 1967.
âThe evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.â
â MLK, Speech to SCLC Board, March 30, 1967.

Wage labor is renting yourself via "self ownership". Employment is literally renting another human being as if they're property. The employer-employee relationship is a very insidious dynamic. Employment is a rental contract, like if you rented capital (say, a chainsaw from Home Depot), you pay rent for the "time preference" (basically the cost of time) for a piece of property. Capitalism is based on a principle of self ownership, which sounds empowering, until you realize that most people don't own capital goods other than themselves, and must rent out the authority over themselves as pieces of "human capital". This is a process of dehumanization where human beings are valued for their return on investment as capital goods.
