if you arnt rich, you get ravaged from all corners

[Deleted member 4545]

you ruin your health doing a low class job where you are treated like dirt, often long hours, backbreaking work with very early starts

you cant afford a house so instantly half your income is robbed on rent, tax takes another chunk.

water, electisitiy and gas take even more

plus council tax take another percentage depending on where you live/ how big your house is

this is all before food which isnt cheap if you wanna eat well

bc of the job, you probably need medication which also costs money

then you either take public transport which will cost anywhere from 200-400 per month, or you have banger which you need insurance, fuel and maitenance which costs even more

in the end you are legit left with NOTHING

if you arnt earning at least 50k a year, its not worth working id rather live in a tent or council estate 1billion%

then you have 40 year olds still living with their parents

i know slayers who left the house at 15 years old and have everything paid for them from govment, they live in uni type accomedation and never worked and live better lifestyle than 95% of population

That and if you come from a poor family the odds are stacked against you since your quality of education will be lower, if you're failing you won't be able to afford a tutor to catch up and some just might have to drop out before they graduate and start working to support themselves.
The odds are stacked against the poor.

This is why we need socialism. Currently the western countries are dictatorships of the bourgeoisie. Meaning the bourgeoisie dictate how society is run.

Workers need to organize and create a dictatorship of the proletariat, just like China.

An example of the difference is how each dictatorship handled the coronavirus situation. In western countries the government needs to ask permission from corporations to implement lockdown because it could affect their profits. However in China the government is in control and tells the corporations what to do. No one is above the law in China like western liberal capitalist countries.


In the west you also can't trust anyone because of the profit motive everyone will try to cheat and manipulate you for the very few dollars you have.

And then the bourgeoisie will use divide and conquer tactics to get the proletariat to fight amongst each other. for example getting millenials to blame baby boomers for their problems.
