This is the truth. What’s amazing is that corporations cannot exist without the government, they are utterly interwined with the state. There are very few large companies that’s owned by any one owner and is instead jointly owned by multiple companies and parties. The difference here though, is that corporate interest is subordinate to the public interest whereas in America, the public interest is subordinate to the corporate interest.

All these people talking about their libertarian utopia don’t know that America IS their “utopia” and the truth is that their petty bourgeois complaints are levied to the government tax policy instead of the real fact that corporations are essentially mini governments/empires with their own arbitrary laws and regulations instead of a general state mandate public laws and regulations that all corporations are subordinated to.

Hahaha this is some clown world type shit. It’s like some black comedy; “sorry we didn’t save you but here’s a bit of money for your death arrangements”.

Then you’ll be called a red fash because any country or any people that do not fit the western diaspora is fascist or backward, uneducated. These days to be illiberal is to be a fascist.

I’m not so sure about splits in the party line but states splitting up I can see. I see something closer to what happened during the Yugoslav wars than the civil war North and South divide. What broke the Union last time was a powder keg that was already ready to explode from the forming of the American union, namely slavery. This time there are alot more complicated issues between the states and the federal government and even local municipalities. I can say this, the Union cannot hold unless the federal government is willing to push it’s authority more than it already has. And this is only the political an official political level. Honestly it would be safer if the states were allowed to become completely independent of the federal government and form coalitions with other states and maintain international trade relations. It would go a long way for democracy in this country because there’s large possiblity that the whole system could be made more democratic and easier to do “Democratic Socialism”. On the other hand it’s clear a peaceful succeeding would be impossible even if they did something as radical as leave it to a popular vote and it was successful.

What I’ve figured over reading and studying theory for myself is when you think you’ve understood Socialism and specifically scientific Socialism, you read something else that shows how little you know. There is no specific formula for how to build Socialism in a country. In the 19th century the international wasn’t going around imposing a one formula for all; they would learn the conditions of a specific nation and critique the party programme of their labor or workers or social democratic parties. Was NEP Russia not Socialist? Well Lenin tells you why that’s not true. Marx as well knew that the new society would be marked with the birth pangs of the old. Communists do not see capitalism as totally evil but rather as a great tool that greatly develops the productive forces. Once those forces are developed enough then they can be used to build Socialism.

Since in a Communist society your labor power would have been abolished as a commodity, it would free up a person to any pursuit, I mean you can indeed pursue one career but why be stuck programming for 6 hours when you can do so much more with your time. One of the biggest issues with careers is that it keeps you stuck doing one thing for years and decades, that’s not healthy except for those who truly find enjoyment in their careers. Like imagine a doctor also being an engineer and does temp as a bartender or some days works at a farm.

Someone in the marketing team is taking the piss, in fact I’m convinced all these companies capitalizing on the current political climate are taking the piss.

Right, I supported Vaush for a while until I started to read a lot and have since only supported Vaush as the necessary opposition to the radicalized right kids today because of the over saturation of the “anti sjw” crap you always see, as well as the political apathy of major youtubers who “don’t want politics in games”. I’m not afraid of the millennial generation I belong to because I know a lot of them are left leaning but the next generation is more at risk of apolitical apathy than right wing radicalization. As Kreia once said “apathy is death”.
