We have the best of both worlds. 63 shampoo flavors and unemployment support.

    My dream is instead of three people that own all 63 shampoo flavors, the workers own them

    Buy a cottage industry shampoo, they exist. Or make your own. You can find recipes online.

    Stop supporting the structures of economic repression that you claim to oppose.

    I didn't say you can't criticize the system. I gave you an example of the thing you were saying is your "dream," as if it didn't already exist.

    You wanna take practical steps to achieving your dream? Support cottage industries. You wanna just fantasize about it and not do anything to support it? By all means, continue buying corporate shampoo brands.

    Insulting people for mentioning practical steps to improve society when all you wanna do is sit and complain about the way things are is... a take...

    TBH nowadays I don't think the US Federal government would ever give a single concession as they are now. Probably would rather roll in the military than make medication a bit cheaper.

    Well yea that was the goal of all those concessions , to keep the working class pacified while they consolidated power towards the owning class. Now they have consolidated that power and dismantled the foundations which bred the resistance efforts of the past and are comfortable in their assumptions they can now freely abuse the people without the need to make concessions.

    We have reached the point that they were warning would come about by accepting these concessions as if they were progress.
