Do you agree that capitalists have corrupted our political and economic systems to the point they no longer work properly?

[Anonymous]

I think the founders forgot to add in effective anti-corruption measures... what do you think?

No, everything is just fine.

It's a little messed up but not all that bad...

It is really a MESS!

Out of control Capitalism is the main problem in this country, Trump motherfucker is symtom of it.

[Asker]

This time around we're calling them Capitalists. 125 years ago we called them Robber barons. A few hundred years ago we called them Kings and Emperors and the landed aristocracy.

The truth is, humanity has always been a nasty greedy bunch of cannibals who have no problem with killing each other, enslaving each other, and taking everything in sight until there is nothing left to take even if it kills everyone else.

It always ends the same way. If you give people nothing to lose, they they behave accordingly. When it gets bad enough, the people behind Project 2025 who have corrupted the House and Senate, the executive branch, and our courts with bribery, and made a joke out of our elections to bring about the destruction of the United States of America so they can pillage the wealth of the nation will be dragged into the streets. Just like the French royals, the Russian Royals, the Shah's family, and on and on and on throughout history.

But not before the timid stupid people finally feel enough pain. We're just getting started.

Oh, and by the way, the aftermath has never been pretty. The USA is done as a world power. But hey, a handful of people are gonna get really rich. So it's all good right?

[bellicose]

Nope, that's socialists that did that. Capitalists don't even want income tax. No income tax, means there isn't a fund to steal from. Socialists are the ones that tax the people to enslave them and enrich themselves.

[bellicose]

Federal taxation is redistribution of wealth by the central government. It should be clear how socialism works now and how wealth gets redistributed to certain party members in the kleptocracy, while the common worker gets nothing but lip service. Classic socialism.

[bellicose]

Which administration created the federal income tax in the USA to make it all possible? Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Who created the welfare state to expand social programs to hide corruption in? Democrat Franklin Delano Roosevelt with the New Deal. The founding fathers were rolling in their graves.

[Asker]

Yes, I can tell that socialists own the government now. Next, you will tell us that Republicans are really socialists... Income taxes are used by Capitalists to support large corporations like defense contractors and banks.

[bellicose]

When the central government funds and directs the means of production, they are conducting Socialism. A corporation is a body of people, a collective. Corpse = Body. Collectivism is integral to Socialism. In contrast, Capitalists are individualist.

[bellicose]

What exactly did you think "Publicly Traded" Corporations were? Did you think they were owned privately, or are they controlled by the Public?

[bellicose]

Most publicly traded corporations in America are owned through a controlling interest and directed by investment trusts like Vangaurd, BlackRock, and State Street who's funding comes directly from "the people" through their money market accounts and retirement/pension funds. Large portions of those funds come directly from government employees. So the means of production are owned by the people, and a fiduciary relationship is formed with the investment trust to allow them to make financial decisions for the workers as they lead the proletariat in overthrowing capitalism by buying out private companies and consolidating them under the umbrella of their globalist conglomerates. Your Vanguards of the world are your high party officials in the socialist party. Who would have thought the Vanguard would be practicing Vanguardism directly from Leninism. Oh I don't know, people with an IQ over 70...

Vanguardism: a revolutionary vanguard party, composed of the most conscious and disciplined workers, must lead the proletariat in overthrowing capitalism and establishing socialism, ultimately progressing to communism.

It's not the capitalists but yes our system is a mess.

Corporations can't exist in a free market.

[seeyounexttuesday]

It’s not capitalism that’s the problem, it’s the intertwining of government and business.

[Asker]

Well yes - and business owns government in the US.

[seeyounexttuesday]

So we reduce government. Take the incentive out.

[Asker]

If we do that, who runs the country?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Guess what, you don’t need a daddy government telling you what to do.

[Asker]

I don't think it is that simple. We need laws if nothing else, else there would be anarchy.

[Anonymous]

so you want full on socialism then?

[BarryLiverstone]

Nope
