    True but one of them is president now and he isn’t a commie, I’m not sure what point you’re making. I do have a job by the way.

      Well then if you have the job then you should be thankful for having a job. The job is your way out of poverty. Without work you would be nothing, that’s the difference between communism and capitalism. And the USA everybody works hard and because of that everybody one day will be rich. Only the poor people that believe in communism end up on the street homeless and that’s for truth

        Are you saying that as a defense of capitalism? I can hardly find work, my family has been homeless when I was a kid briefly even though my dad was the hardest working person you could be. And he died from work related cancer from exploitative unsafe practices. There aren’t enough jobs for everyone in the US, and under capitalism you starve and die in the cold, homeless and without healthcare without a job. While the surplus value from YOUR labor is siphoned to billionaires who live in mansions with teams of servants.

          All this may be true, BUT if an employer made and employee do what this Chinese worker was forced to do then the American employee can sue and be rich! That’s the beauty of the American capitalist democratic system. The Chinese woman can’t sue, can’t form a union and can’t have a voice. So be thankful for what you have, because the capitalist democratic system is the best system in the world.

            They do have unions in China, and labor violations are typically punished much more severely in China than the US. Most labor violations in the US like wage theft and unlawful firings go unpunished. In the US if you lose your job you can quickly become homeless and have no healthcare or food, most people in these situations aren’t able to sue anyone and often become addicted to drugs or commit suicide.
