Socialism by default arises from the breakdown of capitalist principles. Capitalist systems have a human mechanical structure, and once you hit the easy button to start a capitalist system there is no STOP button. In order for the system to maintain functional balance there has to be a constant human input of work for there to be an output of production and services. The base and foundation of capitalism IS JOBS.

Get the Socialism by default mug.An epic memer and videographer, most notable for the short film "Ride Wife, Life Good", a reflection into the self-destructive nature of the male ego, the folly of matrimonial expectation, and the tragic impact of rage untempered by consequence.

Historians shall surely place it alongside other such haunting masterworks as Ilya Repin's 1884 Ivan The Terrible And His Son Ivan and Tim Buckley's 2008 Loss.
