Capitalism employed slave child workers to mine the cobalt in your tellie

The only thing of mine capitalism truly made all on its own is my exploitation, alienation, poverty, and depression.

Capitalists profit from the surplus value our labor produces by selling commodities to the very workers who produced them. What a scam.

It's amazing how soviet discoveries are absolutely disconsidered when tech discoveries are brought up, they literally made the pillars to our modern times. Even wikipedia disregards this, calling the development of the cell phone in the USSR the development of a "cell-phone device", not really implying it was the first cell phone ever.
