You can tell that this audience is primarily American because they still defend capitalism, even after being shafted by it over and over. Careful everyone, big bad socialism is going to take your kids and your wife!
Don't dare dream of something better, instead keep swallowing the propaganda of the state and its controlling elites.
Man socialism keeps sounding better and better they will even take those pesky wife and kids off my hands/s.
But in serious most Americans don't know shit about socialism our capitalism they live under. Dumb fucks look at you with surprise when you mention our highway system would be considered socialist program.
Sounds interesting, what does that mean?
Roads and streets are funded 100% from taxs which make them a social program. I know not true 100% socialism but it's as close as the United States will allow.
Also most Americans always going on especially fucking Republicans and their voter base about how the government should be run like a business. But don't realize the government should never be ran as one.
The corruption already bad enough.
The closest you get in America to socialism is public libraries and free school meals. And they managed to make the latter controversial and, if not, incredibly shitty.
And the GOP and their far right cronies are trying to get public libraries shut down.
They should be forced to run their businesses as businesses - no more bailouts
All these big names seriously run their businesses like social programs.
Yeah, run America like Elon runs Twitter. Absolutely brain dead
American here and fuck capitalism.
We are poor and our freedoms are exploited, but at least we're free!
That's right, real freedom is being able to scream into the void without actually having the power to improve your material conditions. :)
Hey now, that's unfair!
As à Canadian, I can attest that we also blindly defend capitalism.
Why complain when capitalism ruins something that it created? Isn't that how it works? Something else will come along and don't better or differently and people will flock to it until it sucks too.
If I don't swallow the propaganda, I don't swallow anything. We're hungry, man.
Communism does not have a good track record in places like Poland. After the absolute shithole that the PRL was, I dont kniw how you except people to defend communism.
