RE: Space-Communist Thought of the Day: 1
are you talking about towns and communities that sprung up around industries? such as an automotive plant driving the jobs in a certain city/town? would love to hear your thoughts.
I mean tons created by industrialists to house workers where they held them in captive markets and generally abused them. Here's the short version.
so fascinating and equally horrific. america today isnt all its cut out to be in terms of the "american dream", but definitely back then it was a very difficult place to live and barely scrape by. my grandparents and great grandparents generations witnessed and lived through things i cant even imagine - even growing up lower middle class and very blue collar.
thanks for sharing - its good to understand history because it gives understanding to why the US became such a capitalist-obsessed society.
you'd think they would have learned there lesson but than again economics is not taught in our schools only propaganda.
so SO true, sadly.
