re: #53 EPR-radar

It’s like wingnuts have read the description of the brutalization of the labor force and proletariat as in Marx, and decided that this dystopic vision is actually the promised land.

I honestly think we’ll see attempts to re-institute slavery in the US as a result of this kind of RW ideology. Halfway steps include incarcerating an enormous number of people, then seeking ways to force prisoners to ‘earn their keep’.

I would argue that, in some respects, we still have slavery here in the U.S., it’s just not as overt as it once was. A lot of folks with a minimum wage job will attest to this.
