Great title for a book.
Steve of MastodonCaitlin Johnstone @Caitoz on the false political dichotomy:
if Trump was allowing these things to happen in the United States it would be because he is the second coming of Adolf Hitler, but when Biden does it it’s because he’s walking a fine line of nuance and diplomacy and something something political pragmatism.
Mark M. Evans@marsfield @breadandcircuses @Caitoz If HRC was elected, we’d have a less right wing supreme court and Roe v Wade would still be the law of the land. Access to birth control and gay marriage would not be in danger. Affirmative action would be on stronger ground. The US Labor Board wouldn’t be in jeopardy. If a few of you “both sides are the same” folks voted for Gore, we wouldn’t have killed 100,000 Iraqis. Yes, I know spineless Democrats authorized that insanity which is exactly why voting for President and the cabinet they choose matters.
It takes an insane amount of privilege to pretend both side are the same. Biden’s handling of the Gaza crisis isn’t great, if you think Trump’s wouldn’t be significantly worse, you lack imagination.
You want to change things? Run for local offices and drag the conversation to the left. Highjack the Democratic Party at the local level. That’s the only real hope.

Even fans of Major League Baseball will tell you that there's "The Written Rules" and "How the Game is Played" and the two could not be any more different.

Barbara Monaco@breadandcircuses School books taught us that US colonies were founded by religious refugees. What they did not focus on were the business interests that controlled much of what happened here from colonial days onward. The first corporations were chartered in the late eighteenth century.

Moved to @@breadandcircuses Sorry to call you out, but there were hardly any US corporations in the 1790s. So, your post is wrong or exaggerated.

They're talking about modern America, not America in the 1790s. You're the mistaken one.

Regardless of what label you give it, I agree with you. My research would indicate that, if more than 400 years ago, the means of production were held communally instead of by individuals, the world, with capitalism, would be a much better place today. The world over could have been filled with places like the following community which is still going strong after 50 years:

This is not socialism; it's capitalism at work.
@breadandcircuses
Had western society used this communal form of capitalism, the world today would be filled with tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of businesses, that would have spread wealth throughout their communities raising the standard of living for all and would have negated the accumulation of property in individuals. The modern form of this is Commons Capitalism which can be found at:
