Socialism is where the mouse gets the cheese. Capitalism is where the cheese looks free, then you try to get it.
Capitalism: If it’s free, then you’re the product
If it’s paid, you’re actually still the product
Enshitification
The cheese has a subscription and cheese payments will slowly bleed you dry. You can try to quit cheese but the capitalists know that you have eat. Under capitalism, all the mice die poor and hungry except one.
I know many people who were the mouse in this story by going to the hospital in the US, not conceiving that it won’t be free, only to get hit with the trap of huge bills when they get out.
Capitalism is where the mouse pays for the cheese and then gets killed anyway
The cheese isnt real cheese but ‘cheese product’ created from industrial waste and artificially priced to maximize profits for the shareholders.
And communism is where the mouse gets arrested for having the cheese in the first place. Great film, The Witness. Everybody should watch it at least once every five years.
Socialism is when the mice make their own cheese.
Yeah when you are about to join a workers collective Karl Marx is waiting to hit you on the head with a comically large flyswatter
Dear corporations, is this why we can access your apps websites for free? You are not stealing our information, selling them to data brokers and advertisers, and weaponising our interests to vote against our own interests, do you?
I dunno man, when I do a critical theory examination of the mousetrap system, it doesn’t seem to involve the cheese at all but the fact that some powerful bastard wound up a spring.
The mouse trap is capitalism, the cheese is your retirement.
Let’s consider what’s happening in Gaza with the hungry being shot. Let’s then consider those in the US needing healthcare. Underying similarities and the opposite of socialism
