"In reality, nothing shows the criminal stupidity of capitalism like the Covid pandemic and the vaccine debacle. The decision not to close factories and all large businesses, and to call mandatory work without access to education, culture, entertainment and socialising in person a lockdown, was presented mainly by the far right as a health dictatorship. In reality, it is the dictatorship of big business and GDP over healthcare and health. Unlike China and all those countries that closed down seriously when and where necessary, Europe and the United States closed late and only halfway, thus causing a massacre. This has not even prevented an economic crisis, as evidenced by the most capitalist of Italy's regions, Lombardy, with its thirty, perhaps forty thousand deaths, while disaster looms for entire sectors. And now there is recovery in China, but not in Europe."
