    rn i identify w the serfs in that divine right of kings system, as i resume the job hunt, just like i did last year at this time; but now i get to do it this time around with a trump enduced economic downturn.

    i have difficulty imaging what life will be like when captialism is no longer so dominant. i want to image a life without the constant and completely unecessary strain of making enough money to afford life’s necessities and the trauma it invariably inflicts upon each other while doing so.

    i wonder how serfs would have felt whenever they encountered nascent examples of systems coming into existence, like socialism?

    would they feel about it like i do when i see the few remaining examples that remain of american’s likewise nascent socialist movements?

    my job is one of those few remaining examples; it’s a union job. unions are the probably the closest things to leftist movements our capatilist system will tolerate and even then they’re forced to fight tooth and nail for relative breadcrumbs.

    this job showed me the tremendous efforts that unions have to fight for to preserve these types of jobs; i can’t get over how hard they have to fight for those breadcrumbs and i wish i could better appreciate the irony that i can’t keep this job because of them, yet i remain in full support of socialism & theory nonetheless.
