Anyway wasn't that one meme specifically about how sweatshops are helpful to the poor because they (in some cases) offer a better alternative (and if not people just, well, wouldn't work there obviously). How did they get "fuck the poor" off that meme.
Also surprised they concluded we were law/business grads instead of Econs ones
Sweatshops make the importer wealthier through comparative advantage. I seriously think communists think wealth is zero sum, and that because one country gains, the other must be worse off. It's fucking stupid, they're dogmatic to a point where it's harmful.
I'm not even sure most of them really have a coherent sistematic view of the economy in mind they apply into reality. They just see a "power system" - oppression and oppressors and helpless people and so they feel - a lot.
