Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The speaker offers a blunt, crude definition of capitalism: being screwed. It is a cynical view that the system's real nature is exploitation, with ordinary people on the receiving end. The vulgar phrasing gives the claim the punch of a bitter verdict rather than a policy argument.
