Capital has painted for people this image of poverty that is meant to terrify people into thinking they can’t have good things without it.
It’s really like an abusive partner who wants to control you by making you think you’ll never do better. I would challenge bozos like you replied to, to actually go visit impoverished and developing nations and see how even the poorest people aren’t lacking connection and conveniences, but they are lacking access to other basic necessities like water and healthcare.
Washing machines only cost a fortune if they expect you to be able to pay a fortune. Our image of standing in line for bread under a socialist system was painted by Reagan and we never let it go, because everyone who wants to make a lot of money helped him preserve that fear.
