Private equity, shareholders. No publicly traded business is in the business of providing service and goods of value.

In 1776, Americans engaged in open warfare, with guns and killing and infections and amputations and no anesthetic, with England, because they were tired of paying taxes and getting nothing from them.

Our current population has emotional breakdowns when told they have to wear a mask to keep old people from dying. I am not at all confident that we will ever reach the same level of energy that led to organized, cohesive revolution and war unless some outside power starts taking away people’s internet and pizza rolls.

Not when more than a third are too apathetic and disengaged to care, and another third are beholden to the robber baron cause through blind consumption of propaganda disguised as ‘fair and balanced’ news.

Canada. There are other wars the U.S. has lost, but I don’t know how involved the U.S. Army was in them.

Don’t worry because you are free to exploit people as well! Oh, you’re not exploiting, fucking over, and scamming literally every human being you meet? What’s wrong with you. Maybe you’re just not smart enough to screw people over. /$

Hey, hey, we’re working on getting rid of the people. Just give environmental destruction a chance to do its thing.

I’m surprised to see such a well rounded, logical view here. Kinda feels rare on this platform these days.

Bad because the centralized planning committee is little better than ONE BOARDROOM TO RULE THEM ALL and if you disagree with them they send their secret police to yank a black bag over your head and disappear you in the night. Then you, everyone you associated with, and everyone within three generations related to you spend the rest of your short, brutal, agonizing existences starving and/or freezing to death at a slavery camp in the wilderness.

I think that’s because communism has only really been implemented/taken over by authoritarians, and wasn’t really communism.

Any possibly good people that gain power and pursue communism are couped or destroyed
