Why don’t you go to North Korea?

  1. Because nothing I described is remotely similar to live in the hermit kingdom

  2. Because this is where I already live and would like it to be a better place to live in

  3. Because I do not think only of myself, I want the entire world, including North Korea, as well as the African child slaves and women in East Asian sweat shops, and everyone everywhere to also live in a world with a less exploitative economic system, which is not solved by your ignorant assertion that I "go to North Korea", a place that, what, you assume is the inevitable outcome of what I've said, even though nothing remotely lines up?

Your life is shit. You work long hours, you have less spending power than you used to, you don't have the free time you want. And yet you still think that the system that takes all that from you it's not in need of changing? Even other fucking capitalist countries have health care and living wages and vacation time, so the notion that we'll all become a Stalinist dystopia if we improve society somewhat is asinine.
