    He’s still a capitalist, and capitalists want an underclass that is suffering to keep workers in line.

      I mean sure but usually they at least attempt to do some token media gesture to try to stay in power. I’m not convinced the “at least I’m not Trump!” play is going to be enough for them.

        getting rid of exploitation is not the same as making everyone exploited, no matter how hard you want to pretend it is. Taking the whip out of a slave driver’s hand is not the same as making him a slave. At least that’s what it would seem like you’re implying based on the context of this conversation.
