You know if I wanted to make sure that every single person under 35 didn’t vote for me, and facilitating genocide didn’t work, this is probably what I’d try next.

Can the president double student loans? What about rent? War with Iran?

Edit: What’s with the downvotes? Is banning tiktok actually what people want? I remember mocking Trump for trying to do the same thing after everyone RSVP’d for one of his rallies, causing him to perform infront of an empty stadium.

It works either way, who do you think Russia is producing those artillery shells for?

Can you really say the US doesn’t have a war economy though? It’s only not been at war for like 6 years of the last 200.

Even the US occupation of Syria, bombing of Yemen, and forces fighting in Niger + Somalia are all a fraction of the US’s military production, since it’s the biggest arms dealer in the world.

Yes, banks take them.

Nope, I haven’t seen one since the early 2000s, when they rolled out Sacajawea dollars and then stopped a few years later because boomers were afraid they’d confuse them with quarters.

Weird, lucky you.

You mean chat with a robot?

I’ve had varied experiences with robots, sometimes they give you the refund, othertimes it’s not refundable, even if they broke it.

Begging the capitalist class to give you more crumbs is not the good fight.

The good fight involves distributing the source of their power, control over the means of production, to the people.

Social democracy leaves power in the hands of the capitalists, they only tolerate reforms like this when capitalism is threatened, and they will (and have) eroded as soon as the threat is gone.

That Free Enterprise nullifies everything preceding it. Capitalism is incompatible with any meaningful democracy, liberty, or rights.

“It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.

Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.”
