If you’re unemployed, it’s not because there isn’t any work.
Just look around: A housing shortage, crime, pollution; we need better schools and parks. Whatever our needs, they all require work. And as long as we have unsatisfied needs, there’s work to be done.
So ask yourself, what kind of world has work but no jobs? It’s a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the profit needs of business.
This country was not built by the huge corporations or government bureaucracies. It was built by people who work. And, it is working people who should control the work to be done. Yet, as long as employment is tied to somebody else’s profits, the work won’t get done.
Was expecting classist bullshit, got the exact opposite
This is so ubelievably important and I hate that I have to keep re-explaining it to people.
I just realized that on the night Voldemort failed to kill Harry as a baby, there would have been three dead bodies in the Potters’s house in Godric’s Hollow. James’s, Lily’s and Voldemort’s. It never occurred to me before that Voldemort’s body would have had to be there too. But remember, he was ’ripped from his body’. The Voldemort who fled from Godric’s Hollow didn’t have a body, so the only logical conclusion is that it was left behind where he was defeated. Plus, his body being there would have been the only way other wizards could have understood that Voldemort had been defeated - proof to them that he was really gone (turns out he wasn’t really gone but they didn’t know that at the time). It is rather scary to think of Sirius finding Lily’s dead body with Voldemort’s next to it and Harry still alive in the crib.
Not to break the depressing mood or anything but I do hope Sirius had the clarity of mind to give Voldy’s body a good kick in the face
Maybe Sirius kicked his nose off
This also explains why the Wizarding World found it so hard to believe Voldemort was back in the 5th book. It doesn’t excuse the treatment of Harry, especially by the Ministry and the media, but if you’ve seen the body of someone then it would be difficult to believe he had “come back to life”. Although we know he didn’t really die, wizards are not taught anything at all about Horcruxes and are taught that no magic can bring someone back to life again. As a side note, I wonder where Voldemort’s first body is buried.
From an out of universe perspective, it makes it even worse that Voldemort died by turning into some confetti in the films. The Wizarding World needed closure. Having no body would make it worse, since last time their was a body and Voldemort still returned.
