"Capitalism is a development by refinement from feudalism just as feudalism is a development by refinement from slavery. Capitalism is but the gentleman's method of slavery." - Kwame Nkrumahwe actually did a second episode ??? in act 1 of this 2parter, we discuss an important topic - something so important that we named the danged podcast after it - the (somewhat new) workplace phenomenon known as WeLlNeSs. after examining the fruitless ways society asks us to cope with the increasing difficulty of our lives, we plunge into a (long-winded but worth it, i hear) critique of capitalism's economic "mode of production." we describe how our relationship to all the things required to produce our necessities (and other commodities) not only defines class, but also creates and reinforces the misery, inequality, alienation, and unfreedoms we see and experience in our strange Hellworld.notes:16:08 of course i meant chaos >emeralds< - and the specific game i was thinking of was sonic adventure 2 battle for gamecube, that shit got a 9/10 on steam (is that good for steam? is steam reliable? the answers elude us all.)follow us!!twitter: @APPwellcenter, @four1111sinstagram: @emily__michelle_, @four1111s
