    I’ve got some news for you about capitalist states.

    (and a great excuse to post a snippet of a recent favorite album)

     

    So You want to be a millionaire, my bad I mean billionaire

    Well hello welcome to the slave trade

    Cause exploitation is how Fortunes are made

    In your device are minerals from very very far away

    Your charmed life and mine are the same cause in mines when it swang

    Dark people Hang from the bottom of Supply chains

    It gets worse like no treatment for a cancer

    Like all societies before us we don’t have the answers

    The cotton gins and plows became huge excavators

    Now slaves dig for batteries for phones and pacemakers
