Reply #51: Repukes are parasites [View All]

[renaldo]

The analog in nature to runaway capitalism is the parasite. The parasite does not produce anything useful but it gains control over the productive efforts of another, expropriating that "wealth" for itself. This deprives the host of the energy it needs for survival, and makes it work even harder. This is not unlike the situation we find ourselves in today - we work and produce, they take and contribute nothing. We save for retirement, they steal it. They pollute, we pay for cleanup. They borrow and spend, they exempt themselves from the debt and saddle us with it. The end result for parasitism is death to the host, but the parasite usually survives by sucking the last dregs of life out of the host and moving on. But Repukes are too greedy, too morally reprehensible to grasp this simple fact. They will kill us all.
