Coronavírus making capitalism show its ugly face even more, but liberals still don’t see it?

So as many of you already know, in the midst of this pandemic the US government has become even more blatant on where it’s priorities lie.They had massive cuts to many departments 2 years ago which left the country less prepared and more vulnerable (all this to fund tax cuts for the rich). They had one month to prepare for the pandemic to reach us but was only worried trade and how this would affect the market. When people started getting infected, little to no actions were taken. Only when the stock market crash did they declare state of emergency. Since then they have been working tirelessly, not to help the people but to stabilize the stock market. Daily aid packages given to Wall Street and tests easily available to elites.Meanwhile working class people cannot find testing available if they do then they are still charged for testing and treatment. Insurance companies proceeding with business as usual. Shortage of medical equipment present in hospitals and clinics. Pharmaceutical companies lobbying government companies officials to make sure they make a big profit if they make a vaccine. Business are shutting down so employers are sending workers home, many without pay.Congress won’t even give us all paid sick leave in the middle of a pandemic!Stores having empty shelves while many are allowed to hoard massive amounts of goods and reselling them at 10 times the price.As marxists we know that government officials are just puppets of the bourgeoisie and that this system is not meant to work for the proletariat but for the bourgeoisie. So this isn’t surprising to us. But liberals still don’t see that. They just think X company is being greedy, or oligarchy, or reforms are necessary to make things better, or media bias, or it’s just Trump etc.It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. The system is supposed to function this way. If they don’t realize it in the middle of this crisis then what in the world would make them realize this?Comrades in other countries. How is your government responding? Is it as bad as it is here? via /r/communism https://ift.tt/3b7bRVQ
