The Dairy Delusion: How Capitalist Monopolies Export Plenty While the Toiling Masses Pay the Price
Comrades! I ask you to cast your gaze upon the latest reports of our dairy industry, and you shall find not a triumph of industry, but a classic specimen of capitalist exploitation. We are told with great fanfare that the export of dairy goods has surged by some 14 per cent, reaching a staggering 104 thousand tonnes. But let us peel back the curtain of these 'successes' to reveal the cold, hard truth of the matter!
What is this 'expansion' but a calculated move by the great monopolies to dispose of their surpluses? The bourgeoisie, in their insatiable lust for profit, seeks to unload their wares upon foreign shores because the domestic worker—crushed under the weight of economic hardship—can no longer afford to sustain their greed. Behold the ledger of this plunder: 245 million dollars amassed from cheeses and curds, and millions more from creams and ice-creams. This is not the progress of a nation; it is the triumph of the rentier and the industrialist over the needs of the people!
And mark well the cruelty of this system! While the export figures rose, the simple folk at home were forced to endure exorbitant prices for their daily sustenance. Only when the market became saturated did the prices descend by a mere 5.2 per cent in June. Is it not clear that the capitalist class manipulates the supply to squeeze every last farthing from the proletariat?
Furthermore, consider the plight of our neighbours. The ban on Armenian imports, which costs those poor souls some 16 million dollars annually, serves only to further consolidate the power of the domestic dairy monopolies. It is a war of capital against capital, while the labouring classes are left to fight for the crumbs.
Thus, we see the machinery of the bourgeoisie in full operation: export the plenty to secure gold, stifle the competition, and keep the worker in a state of perpetual precariousness. This is the inevitable result of a system built upon exploitation!
