  1. "I owe my soul to the company store" = #debtbondage / #Scrip system paid with non-transferable credit vouchers for goods sold at the company store; workers had no cash savings. Struggling in company-owned dormitories & houses, rent was automatically deducted from pay. Debt bondage persisted until the #strikes of the newly formed United Mine Workers and affiliated #unions forced an end to such practices.

  3. Reminder there is no form of #fascism that involves talking about #populationGrowth.

    Fascism is when they say the answer to population growth is a "efficient" melding of govt and #bigBusiness to streamline #forcedLabour and other forms of #authoritarian-style #slavery, eg. #debtBondage.

    Thanks for understanding.
