If I have to hear a petit bougie or better yet a wage labouring petit bougie wannabe complain about how high their taxes are, that they basically work for the state, and that stuff is expensive because of taxes, I am going to explode.

Like I get that they think it’s in their material interests and a whole lot of bourgois propaganda revolves around taxes, but I’m just over it.

    Taxes would be a lot more palatable to a lot more people if a lot higher percentage went to social benefit rather than bolstering hegemony.

      Even just taking the small amount of tax revenue spent on social benefits in the west, I wouldn’t even know where to begin to calculate the non-subsidized price of things like schools, healthcare, water, roads, etc.
