Our entire economic system is run under the assumption that a certain number of people MUST stay unemployed.

[BaggerofTea]

This country and capitalism does not work without an expoitable class of people.

Capitalism needs a pool of people it can exploit when needed. One of the reasons for having alot of unemployed people is literally because they are afraid that less people that are unemployed they have to pay more in salary. They squeezing every dollar they can out of people while not paying them a decent wage....this system is not sustainable.

The people running those companies don't see that because they're not employees that worked their way up and value the brand and the long term viability of the organization. They're outsiders who were hired to pump the stock price by acquiring competitors, firing staff, and literally engaging in any manipulation tactic to make the company look more profitable than it actually is, so private equity could by shares that will be tied to millions of pension funds.

theyre in it for themselves and its "fukk the workers, fukk the company, fukk the economy. I got mine." As they dip with their golden parachute.


I don't believe an actual communist revolution is possible. Capitalism first needs to collapse, or the people within the country need to take the means of production through working within the system(unions, co-ops, STRONG worker protections and unemployment insurance+jobs guarantee) communism can't be forced onto a people who are used to authoritarianism all you'll do is just give them more authoritarianism which is what they know.

Look at Russia. Went from an authoritarian king and his court to an authoritarian premiere and his politburo to an authoritarian "president" and his cabinet. Their culture is authoritarian so their politics will reflect that. They'll use all the branding of democracy and freedom but anyone can clearly see that's bullshyt they don't actually believe in.

People love to glaze the founding fathers of America but they weren't working class farmers. These were aristocrats who wanted only white men of a certain age with MONEY and land to have the vote. If you brought Thomas Jefferson here today he'd IMMEDIATELY pivot to maga Republicansism just off the strength of the fact that a black man was president. That mf believed in race science and used it when the French and other people pressed him on his owning of slaves. He had a certain lifestyle that he didn't want to give up and worked backwards to justify it, even believing in bullshyt as long as it meant he could keep his slaves.

Hes the exact same type of guy as elon musk who despite owning an electric car company is supporting a party that doesn't even believe in climate change. He wants those tax breaks and for his billionaire lifestyle to be improved with government protection.

There is no communist revolution that will overtake capitalism.

Capitalism is a horror show. Innocent people get abused and companies straight murder people (poisoning food/local environment/global climate, setting them up for "for profit prison pipeline", selling inferior products that fail and kill)...…

....

But it's the only structure that will work. Markets seek their level and smart people with smart ideas go to the top (YES! Idiots and bigots go to the top too. But the model where idiots run things is not sustainable)

As bloody and nightmarish as capitalism can be, it's has a beating heart of natural selection that drives toward the best outcomes.

[Elim Garak]

If I was president I would do a federal jobs guarantee and I would be on some fdr shyt. No one really should be struggling in this country. We are far too rich and powerful for that.

What we have now though is about as capitalist as China is democratic.
We should not be giving subsidies to coal producers while climate change is literally crushing buildings. Yet we are.

The government should have hit the when the banks went under in 2008 but instead they gave them money to live up to the contracts they inked before the crash.

My main argument is that nobody can force an economic and political system people aren't used to onto those people. The French got in the nazis ass when they tried to occupy them. It was an insurgency they had to keep fighting. They were not used to authoritarianism and in fact had a tradition of anti authoritarianism. Anyone who studies history knows that the game is up when the new government IMMEDIATELY targets trade unions and worker co ops.

The closest thing to a communist country would be somewhere like Finland which has high employment rates, paid maternity leave nation wide, strong worker protections, and high co op and union membership. In a country like that, the legislation reflects the fact that the workers are in control, not the owners. The policies are designed to maximize the amount of people employed, housed, and actively contributing to the nation's productive capacity.

If capitalism requires people to spend money to keep businesses going, it makes zero sense to spend money to derail policies that would keep people housed, healthy, and employed with enough buying power to purchase goods, services and apply for loans to start their own businesses.

I think a country like Finland will evolve into a socialist one as most businesses in the country become worker owned/unionized. The government is already spending money on public services to make sure most people have what they need. Their fukking JAILS are nicer than the homeless shelters here

Here’s what they’re not saying…

They brought you neegras over here to be FREE labor and never intended for you to be anything else. It’s why the 13th amendment allows slavery if you’re convicted of a crime.

The game is rigged for you to throw your hands up in frustration after doing all the right things and ending up a slave after taking one of the short cuts they dangle in your face through music and entertainment.

It’s why we’re profiled, arrested and sentenced differently than others. With that in mind, find a legal shortcut and build your family up to be mostly self reliant.
