There was a recent youtube of a Chinese professor discussing how china has gotten along so well with the US while the great migration of manufacturing occurred. It boiled down to wall street being fine with moving manufacturing abroad, as they don't identify with, and in fact despise, the American working class.

Pretty depressing.

"When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain." - Napolean Bonaparte

"I sincerely believe with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; & that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale" - Thomas Jefferson

"I have two great enemies, the southern army in front of me and the financial institutions in the rear. Of the two, the one in the rear is the greatest enemy" - Abraham Lincoln

Did we not expect capitalists to despise their class enemies, the workers?

If they despised the working class they would've pushed for removal of the useless rules the West has - health and safety, generous pensions for hard jobs(like miners), minimum wage, etc.

That assumes they want to help those people.

In reality they just want to help themselves in the easiest way they can.
