How can democracy exist when industries control the economy? When a business can just decide to pull out of a town and put tens of thousands of people out of work, how does “one person, one vote” have any meaning whatsoever? True power is held by those who control the economy.

Democracy is fundamentally incompatible with the economic systems based on inequality like capitalism. Democracy can only meaningfully exist in a classless society. And until that is achieved, democracy is best achieved by those societies who only allow the working class to hold political power.

Well yeah, he’s a billionaire, of course he looks after his own class’s interests.

The man murdered on July 13 was Joan Sebastian Guerrero.

The victim’s name was Joan Sebastian Guerrero. The article hides it halfway down underneath some ads, presumably because corporate media doesn’t want him to become a martyr like Pretti and Goode.

1917 was a good time for that.

We already knew all of that. The problem is that under capitalism, the rich make the rules. Until we supplant the capitalist class with a working class government, we will continue to see policies that put money ahead of people.

More like because Zionists enact US foreign policy and make it possible for western imperialism to destabilize the Middle East, which would otherwise oppose imperial interests. Israel is the puppet, not the US.

Democracy is fundamentally incompatible with capitalism.

Jesus, what a sad life. I pity her.

I trust socialists way more than I trust capitalists. Socialists want to liberate the world, capitalists want to enslave it.

Who else would they attack? Also, they didn’t provide any source, so we’re kinda just taking them at their word that Hamas “massacred villages.” Which, given how often Israeli and Western media and other genocide proponents outright lie about these things, I’m very skeptical.

It’s a bit rich calling settler outposts “villages.” As if to imply that they were just peacefully living their lives and didn’t kick out the previous occupants or that these settlers don’t continuously assault, harass, rape, maim, and murder Palestinians.

We’d certainly all be better off if we had governments like China’s.

Of note, the vast majority of Chinese death sentences are commuted to prison terms or even parole if the offender does not re-offend within 2 years.

TikTok in the US is controlled by US tech organizations now.

And yet, Murdoch is simply a symptom of the real disease, capitalism. Without him, we would still be in the same situation, because capitalism requires endless growth and both incentivizes and requires greed and individualistic behavior from those with power.

A global socialist revolution is the only thing that can save our species and the biosphere.

Then what about it is a joke?

Look at Mr. Reactionary over here, pitching a fit because I (and the rest of the world outside of the West) disagree with his CIA-sponsored worldview.

In colder climates you actually have to plan to eat preserved food until late spring, when everything that started growing when the snow melted has finally started to produce food.

Our natural state is to exist in collective communities. It is only capitalism that has atomized us into individuals competing against everyone else.
