Capitalism is not some mysterious being, its a phenomenon and it is fundamentally incompatible with democracy. If the workplace was democratized then you would not have capitalism.

Good context. That’s why I added the /s

Capitalist apologists: see how we reduced world poverty? /s

It really is that simple. A market does not make capitalism ffs

You think Xi has absolute power? Not even Mao had absolute power.

You both are right but one is more consequential. Let’s dive in:

Bombing Iran does not have bipartisan support, many Dems are voicing their opposition. The Dems even advanced a bill where the president would need congressional review to specifically bomb Iran in this instance.

The President making unilateral military decisions like bombing Iran does have bipartisan support. The Dems have not challenged it’s constitutionality or proposed significant changes on this front and instead go for a case by case congressional veto. This policy also aides in our genocidal program of Gaza…

“We want him to act like a hegemon and purge people based on ideology instead of what they have done.”

Go read “Leadership and the Rise of Great Powers”, written by a member of the CCP to better understand what kind of leader Mamdani is vs the kind you are asking for and the consequences there of.

We should run the government like a business

Who needs IP laws when you have EULAs that bar competition? Certainly not corporations with their armies of lawyers.

Eztv is good enough for me anyways

All those services are what Mr Money Bags wants privatized so they can profit from providing those services. That’s why you hear this talk about social security - the incoming administration wants it privatized.

You’re thinking like a human, the rich are thinking like a class above the rest of the humans. Yes it’s dumb, but here we are cooking our planet at an ever increasing rate.
