I really hate the TACO misnomer, because while Trump was distracting everyone with tariffs he did NOT chicken out of doing a whole bunch of worse stuff.
And also, calling him a chicken only eggs him on because now he feels like he has something to prove.
It’s pure copium and it makes people put their guard down.
Henry Ford still underpaid people for their labor. That is the fundamental key to capitalism. Profit is surplus labor that capitalists steal from laborers.
That’s because in capitalism the politicians actually serve the wealthy ruling class, not the citizens, and the ruling class and the citizens have vastly different priorities.
According to the UK, splashing something with paint to express a political opinion means that you are a terrorist.
That’s my point. Democrats don’t have the best interest of working people in their hearts.
Yeah, it’s a lot of information and it’s probably best to use it on desktop, not mobile.
To get search results, use the filter menu on the left. In the “Agency” tab I added a filter for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the “Awarding Agency.” Then, in the “Location” tab, I added my zipcode, then clicked “Add Filter.” Then finally I clicked Submit. The window in the middle gives you a list of all ICE contracts in that area, including the business name that was awarded the contract.
Let me know if you have other questions, I use databases like this at work, so it’s pretty easy for me. I’m also happy to look up specific areas for you if that is easier.
Isn’t that the point of this thread? That Democrats don’t support the working class?
The military, the police, the prisons, ICE, TSA, DHS, CIA, NSA… any number of oppressive organizations that exist to protect the exalted status of capital.
It’s cute you think we’re still going to have midterms.
/s maybe?
It certainly casts light on the pro-capitalist Western bias that permeates “impartial” organizations like Pew or AP Press.
The list of countries that were surveyed is basically just the list of countries that the average American could possibly name. In other words, most of them are historically aligned with the west.
I would be very interested in a complete survey. I suspect China would fare even better.
Is Mormonism the most capitalist Christian denomination?
Great, 40 billionaires means at least €40 billion can be reappropriated to the public right away. What a great start you’ve identified.
Asking ChatGPT isn’t research.
If you’re talking about American politics, then yes, both parties uphold capitalism and its innate unjust power structures.
You can vote for the lesser evil all day, but in the end it will take revolution to root out evil entirely.
Not sure whether to downvote because of the shitty human nature argument, or upvote because you’re right about wage theft.
Find a local Marxist party. Marxists have been fighting the class war for the last ~150 years.
Very true.
My most American belief is that society fell apart when we got rid of dueling. Assholes need the threat of violent retribution to contain their assholery, and without that, they just shit everywhere.
Of course, that belief falls apart the minute that you realize that assholes can be good at dueling, too…
Trump only has power because the oligarchs are using him to 1) Distract people away from class consciousness and 2) Use fascism to shore up their power for when distraction fails.
