        Production is the ideal that some delusional people like Bannon hold. But really the overall goal is just cheap third world under-employment. Every single person who sells their labour for a living being on the same level of a tenant farmer, while still paying into the system like they are a prosperous industrial middle class.

        Whether people make shirts or odd jobs for a living doesn’t really matter.

          More stressed and pathetic people who cant break apart the system they have, as it stands there are many people who can see through that kind of bullshit.

          Also why not make more money, here, safely, and take less risk with it being in China or another country that you cant completelt control.

          It addresses the concerns of chud boomers who are upset that “we used to make things in this country”, who make up like 80% of the fascist base.

    • That consumerist culture requires a large consumer class, bigger than just elites and some petty bourgs, you need a working class with at least some disposable income. Now that america is losing that I think they are gunning for some kind of techno-feudalism where manufacturing is brought back but like in the shittiest way possible.
