People be like "under communism you'll own nothing and you'll like it" then capitalism is like "Your games are a service, we are phasing out physical media, your apps are subscription based, we'll remove your digital media whenever we want, and good luck ever owning a home lol." #capitalism #communism

We're talking about the company controlled by a guy who sent money to Trump, changed the Washington Post into Republican propaganda.

You sure you want him to record what you say in private?

You've got me wrong. I'm not against voting, only against voting for Democrats. Parliamentary efforts are a useful tool that working people can use to promote revolutionary change. Even the Bolsheviks did this in the Duma after the February Revolution, which, combined with their non-parliamentary efforts, led to a successful revolution against the capitalist provisional government. Workers in America should definitely vote for actual leftist parties.

Your lack of becoming a millionaire, billionaire, or future, trillionaire is not a reflection of yourself being lazy, or lacking any ambition.

You have not failed in life, nor have you wasted your life, simply because you are similar to the average person, who will never wake up wealthy through hard work and determination.

Holy shit 💩

>>It's wrong to think that only "a few people profiting from" capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system of voluntary cooperation among people. Everyone benefits from #Capitalism <<

>>You're wrong. Ordinary people prove every day by their behavior that rich businessmen help them every day. Businessmen can't make a profit if they don't serve consumers properly. You should be kinder to those who make your life better.<<

>>Capitalism is an economic system with (division of labor, private property and) voluntary cooperation among people. Unions, not employers, use violence to achieve their goals, which are wages and other benefits above the market level. So unions aren't a mechanism to counter "greedy capitalists," but just the opposite: to gain benefits at the expense of everyone else. People should decide whether or not to support them.<<

Capitalism is directly at odds with a habitable biosphere because it's an economic system predicated on ever-expanding growth and finite resources.

The transition to green energy will be difficult and costly, and significant sacrifices, such as reducing consumption and shrinking industries, will be necessary. Such changes are simply not possible in a system based around consumerism.

Whereas workers paid an increasing tax burden through payroll taxes, corporations and wealthy families saw theirs drop by half or more. Even as the percentage of income and wealth at the top of the American distribution increased, the percentage of tax expected from the most fortunate decreased.
