1. Privatization and profit...the Holy Mantra of the ChristoFascist Repukes. |
|
The first of their commandments.... If there ain't no profit involved, it ain't worth saving.

Lots of prisons, lots of prisoners, brutal conditions, long sentences, indiscriminate use of psychiatric medications, slave labor, political prisoners, aparatchiki getting rich off the system...
Did I just describe prison conditions in the Soviet Union? No, I did not. I described the US, c.2007.

Both in raw numbers, and per-capita.
