    Didn’t labor unions collectively bargaining give us? the weekend? If capitalism had its wish, children would still be pulling 18 hour shifts in factories for slave wages...wait.

    that would solve the drug problem...
    everyone would know where their kids are...
    Profits would rise for investors...
    It works in third world and communist countries...

    so what is wrong

    "But it's not capitalism that's doing this dirty work. The decline of the weekend comes from the decline of religiosity, and the fact many Americans would rather work more — so as to buy more goods and services — than enjoy leisure time."

    The irony is thick. It's not capitalism, it's the free market.

    So they are free to chose. Unlike in your communist utopia.
    I'm a communist because I don't agree with you? Seems pretty fascist imo.

    No. You're a communist because you support communism and communists. Hth
    Seems like you're a good little fascist foot soldier. Making enemies out of everyone. I guess that makes you a TOOL.

    I think commies are ahead on body count. Socialists are communists as the goal of socialists is perfect communism.

    Keep pulling for the enemy.
