The Poisoning of Flint: Capitalism and Environmental Sabotage'

By Mike Kolhoff

Cruel disregard of human life have been part of the capitalist package from the
very beginning. To the ruling class our lives are important only to the degree
that we produce profit they can exploit. In its latest neo-liberal incarnation,
capitalism seems to have embraced its murderous impulses on a grand scale. The
frustrations of extracting profits from an exhausted planet and its people have
compelled the “job creators” to commit ever more shocking crimes. The
poisoning of Flint stands as grim testimony to the complete contempt such people
feel for the rest of us. To them, we are not quite human.
