They’ve already been at it.

They can’t help themselves. And for some reason left leaning young men, are all over him. They are saying things like if this guy doesn’t win, I give up on the Democrats forever.

Likely. But they might just reintegrate him like they do with everything that is slightly revolutionary. Thats what borg... i mean capitalists do.

But in any case, we need to understand that we have to beat capitalism to death now.

Its shown how it always leads to fascism, sooner or later. Its over. The trust has been broken and the relationship is ruined. Capitalism needs to hand over the keys to the apartment.

Socialism has worked in so many countries and still does.

@haui @amiserabilist You mean China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam? Those are the only true current socialist countries. Countries like Germany have a social market economy, which is still social capitalism. I don't like capitalism, but I can't think of a single example where true socialism has actually worked.

I'm really not trying to fight you here. And I'm not great at phrasing things in a way that makes people not feel fought.

But this guy at second thought really has the means to it. He made a video on this exact topic: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NhPOrkGbpxk its 20 minutes and has huge production value so its not too hard to watch.

If you want to watch it and discuss afterward, I'd love to.

I want a system where the workplace is controlled and the means of production are owned by the workers instead of by some person or corporation that privately owns/controls them and makes most of the money despite not doing any work while the ones who actually do all the work only make back a fraction of what they produce. You can call that socialism if you like, but I call it fair.

One of the very few politicians speaking the truth.

If anything happens to him I sincerely hope a cleansing of the present filth in office starts immediately and does not stop until justice is restored.
