They focus especially on how this phenomenon is playing out when it comes to the Coronavirus vaccines.

We used cloth diapers for our kids. 2021-03-08T00:05:34Z Comment by cesul Don't cooperate with the capitalists by moaning about the vaccines rather than pointing out that there are successful therapies making vaccines useless or worse. 2021-03-08T00:02:00Z Comment by cesul Since there are several inexpensive unpatented very succesful therapies for covid19 there is no need for vaccines. Several doctors and countries around the world have used these quite successfully. We need to stop helping spread the capitalists lie that we all need to be vaccinated. 2021-03-07T23:46:03Z Comment by eyesforleaves you didn't really explore the mechanisms of what to work towards. Just critical of Capitalism, which was enlightening, but what are we reaching towards? We can't just vacuously allude to sharing and equality. Could have gone more into incentive and what labor looks like in a post-capitalist society. 2021-03-04T17:24:12Z
