[@RajatBose1964]

Very insightful! The vice like grip of neoliberalism in our life and discourse in the garb of the real progressive thing is far too obvious these days.

How do we get out of the grip of this crazy system? That is the question. Liberal economists will recommend self employment as an alternative to wage labour but there are so many barriers to entry as an entrepreneur that the majority of us will fail and have to go back to live as cogs in the machine.
