I would be perfectly happy if 42 million more communists joined the US.

Seriously though, can you imagine how much progressive legislation would get passed if the Venezuelan populace were allowed to vote in US elections?

Should I have made it more clear I was doing satire?

Ok, well you seemed confused and upset, so I was just trying to help. Hope you feel better today.

Remember when Gorbachev visited a supermarket and “it led to the downfall of the USSR.”

We can only hope that Trump will visit a Chinese EV lot and realize the superiority of the Chinese-Communist economy and way of life.

Don’t pretend like it’s down to voters. Money in politics ensures that good candidates can’t succeed before voters even get a chance to show up at the ballot.

Found the Brit.

Personally, I think we should keelhaul the rich.

Capitalism. Racism is a lever the capitalists pull to divide the working class whenever they feel like we’re getting uppity.

Social programs are not the same thing as socialism. Socialism is collective ownership of the means of production so that the economy is democratized and its benefits reach the people who built it, the workers.

We didn’t choose them, they or their ancestors were just more ruthless and bloodthirsty than the rest of us, and they coerced us at the end of a spear to go along with it or die.

Or just war. Billionaires control the government, they control the military.

The intelligence community knew 9/11 was going to happen way ahead time, but the Bush administration was too incompetent to act on it.

Accusing Palestine protestors of anti-semitism is also actual anti-semitism. The accusation implies that all Jewish people are genocidal, not just Israel.

There’s a tiny difference between then and now called scientific evidence. These are actual scientific studies saying that using AI results in lower cognitive abilities.

Prices are never going to go down. Never in the history of ever has a capitalist reduced their prices after a “crisis” causes an extended period of higher prices. What might happen is that they don’t keep increasing prices for a while to allow consumer purchasing power to rise (basically you have to start earning more money).

Fascism is a top-down ideology. It happens when capitalists feel that ordinary people are close to demanding a more equitable society, and they use it to divide society and assert their own authority. It is often described as a petit-bourgoise ideology because that is where the fascist capitalists find the most fertile ground - people who used to be able to afford a good life, but who can’t anymore. Of course, the irony is that the reason they can’t afford a good life is because the capitalists are siphoning off more and more of the wealth.

Turn yourself into a human being, not a human doing.

Excuse me, Republican policies are very effective… at funneling our wealth to the capitalists on top.

You are propagandized.
