The problem with #capitalism is often all the things that DON’T happen because of it.
I guarantee that if American companies were losing billions as a consequence of the current massacre in #Palestine it would stop overnight.
But it turns out that while “unfortunately the children are on fire” capital keeps expanding. So nothing happens because under capitalism nothing is necessary if it is not expanding capital.
