The world is not fair and using violence is has never been exclusive to capitalism.

That is not a straw man.

Every as-yet tried communist experiment has failed according to its own victory conditions and not all due to external pressure.

Considering that economics is politics and war is politics by other means; they are not particularly different.

Everything lives or dies in the context of everything else. “It works in theory” is best left to libertarian fantasies.

Yeah, but that doesn’t really mean anything. A precondition for either is capitalism.

Any sustainable system needs to effectively overcome capitalistic forces to be considered viable.

“Oh, but it’s hard…” yeah, duh.

I guess I don’t know which side you’re taking for an appropriate reaction. 😂

Neither have been proven at scale, but I’m skeptical of any system being sustainable. I say narrow the range from both ends and see how it goes over time.

Sooo… how are we going to Tea-Party the Democrats? At least half these people need to be retired.

Bit of a simplification.

Elon Musk is going to overplay his hand. All Trump needs to do to check him is threaten to withhold the pardon that will most definitely be needed.

What ever happened to the CIA?

I’m not an anarchist but why would there be no regulation?

It’s about democratic decision-making and the equal distribution of power, not a maximalist free-for-all.

Opinion | Saying ‘women’ is not allowed, but ‘men’ and ‘white’ are OK? I’m (not) shocked — Guardian US Thanks to Donald Trump’s sweeping executive orders attacking a number of terms, ‘women’ is literally being erased

The one group I feel absolutely zero sympathy for are the white women who voted Trump. Like, wtf is wrong with your brain?

On the other side; all social media and algorithms needs to be monitored and restricted for national security.

A functioning country would have already shutdown given Musk the boot.

Gold Cybertruck Owner Says He Can't Handle All The Hate But Tesla Won't Take The Truck Back The owner says he and his family have faced “constant hostility” since purchasing the truck

This is the way.

Are people still using Twitter?

Jeffries has to go.

Wrong symbol too.

Make him a man without wealth or country. An exile amongst the species.

Wow!

I love it. Bipartisan effort to privatize government functions is being used as evidence of massive corruption and conspiracies.

These idiots don’t know that none of this is done in secret.

The other billionaires should probably get on board fast. They won’t be spared the backlash against Musk, Bezos, etc.

We need leaders.

This goes one way for Elon Musk. He’s just too stupid to realize it.

There’s a lot of people in power that wouldn’t last long under the old CIA.

No laws.

Wait… 100 Gecs is 2010’s MSI isn’t it?

We gave up manufacturing and can’t maintain leads in technology innovation, all in the context of allowing our physical and social infrastructure deteriorate…

I can’t do more than 5 minutes in there… they are soooo f*cking dumb, it’s unbearable.

It’s so wild to me that if the Democrats put someone who had speaking skills and could write well and understood the actual threat and understood the actual paths to victory or at least pushback they would have a movement like I have never seen in my lifetime backing them in probably a month.

I’m not so concerned about me, but my wife is an immunocompromised healthcare worker, so…

So I’m buying masks in case hospitals run short again.

This is fun.

It’s going to be so bad.
