The Capitalist and Communist systems are basically taken over by elite groups who seek to take a bigger share for themselves than they give the other people in their societies. The communist revolutionaries promise the people freedom from poverty whilst using them to win the revolution, then set themselves and their comrades up with the best of everything and the people are still as poor as ever.
The groups in capitalist societies who gain positions of power either political or big business power do exactly the same thing by making sure they set the rules and regulations to make sure that they maintain their power and financial gain over the rest of society.
This is basic human instinct to try and gain the biggest share of territorial wealth (the lion’s share) so to speak. The one saving grace for the people in Capitalists societies is that we have the vote and so to some extent the politicians must appear to be acting in our interests. But they often only pay lip service to assuage our suspicions whilst granting themselves big superannuations payouts.
The boys in the boardrooms in big business and global companies are just as bad. They have never minded using a bit of slave labour in third world countries. Paying them a pittance instead of what their labour is really worth. Oh but I forgot they are really helping these people aren’t they.
Contract labour is just one more of their rules and regulations set in place to favour them financially.
It was only about a hundred years ago that Grandaddy Rockafellow in America turned the guns on his workers for going on strike when he refused to give them more money to feed their families. Eleven workers were shot down that day. But we’re not like that any more are we? HUMAN NATURE DOESN’T CHANGE.
What the bosses are saying to the workers is we are not like that any more “trust us.’
