>The rest of the society live in conditions of near slavery. They could ask for a car, as they are "equal", but it takes years to come, and when it comes, it is a horrible car you could not choose anything about.

Wait, you mean they have homes? As in, stable places to live that don't put them in debt peonage their whole lives?

Wow, that's a pretty big rise in their standard of living versus current-day neoliberal capitalism ;-).

For the love of God, pick a movie about eastern Europe 30 years ago and watch it. You don't know what you're saying.

The only way to arrive at an opinion like that is lack of perspective.

Some people say that living as humans in the wild is preferable to "debt slavery" or "peonage" or whatever the leftists-word-du-jour is. Would you agree with them ? Can you see that you may be suffering from a similar delusion ?
