"is completely untrue".

That's just bollocks.

It's almost completely true.

i was actually trying to say simply that the implication that despite that being true it is NOT true to say that the victimised majority are not also dependent upon the system that victimises them.

This isn't a difficult thing to grasp. i'd argue that most of us here; when you imagine how life *could* be; can be seen as victims of capitalism in one form or another...

we still depend on it to eat though.
