Hachiko, a famous dog who has his own statue in Japan, waited every day for 10 years at a railway station for his dead master to return. He represented, says a professor from Hawaii, the ‘ideal Japanese citizen’ with his ‘unquestioning devotion… loyal, reliable, obedient to a master, understanding, without relying upon rationality, their place in the larger scheme of things.’
This of course is just how capitalism would like you to be too, a loyal pet who questions nothing and knows their place. All capitalist countries (and some like China which pretend to be otherwise) try to inculcate submission into their workers, for the continuing benefit of the robbing rich. It’s high time we turned and bit their hands off.
