Murdered by Capitalism: Housing Fires Kill the Poor
The Socialist Program with Brian Becker - Podcast tekijän mukaan The Socialist Program
On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss the devastating residential fire over the weekend in New York City that claimed 17 lives, including 8 children. Coming on the heels of a similar deadly blaze in Philadelphia public housing that killed 4 adults and 8 children, this tragedy highlights the complete inability of the capitalist system to provide safe, dignified housing for workers.
