Quote from: monsta666 on Feb 08, 2024, 04:33 PMCouple this with the fact people often measure their self-worth by how money they earn and this lack of income (and likely employment) will be seen as massive failure on their part.
It is a very unnatural condition. But, capitalism very much wants people to blame themselves for being unemployed. One size fits all don't you know. The system can't be at fault, so the individual must be blamed.
Part of the population is required to be unemployed to maintain current conditions, and everyone suffers. Capitalism needs "a reserve army of labor" to take advantage of periodic opportunities, and to keep wages down to maximize profit.
Denying people work is abuse.
