not once, not a single time, have I worried about socialism.

I worry about being consumed, I mean eaten, by this sick system, I mean capitalism, that so many seem to worship.

Unrestrained capitalism will kill us and most of the species on this planet.

Capitalism promises life, while taking it from us.

It promises wealth, if only you just work hard enough.

It's all a filthy lie.

Buy into it, and you will be consumed as well.

On the other hand, have a nice day!
