yeah it's just standard capitalism
People in the article cannot understand just why this is happening. Meanwhile Marx and Engels wrote about this in 1800s.

I find it very amusing how the west keeps chest pounding about freedom of expression and diversity of opinion. Yet, you'd be hard press to find a western economist who has even cursory familiarity with Marxist economic theory.
