Marxism is all about picking winners and losers when it comes to businesses.

Back when Obama, assigned Joe Biden to distribute the 800 billion dollar stimulus package, needed because of Andrew Cuomo's sub prime mortgage fisaco, instead of going to areas that were in dire need, much of it went to bail out banks and unions. Of course these entities contributed heavily to the Obama campaign, so they got big rewards on the backs of the tax payers.

Companies that failed to repay the government and resulted in a loss are shaded red. You can see a list of those investments here. All other investments either returned a profit to the government or might still be repaid. Recipients of aid through TARP’s housing programs (such as mortgage servicers and state housing orgs) received subsidies that were never intended to be repaid, so we don’t mark those as losses..

So the rich got richer and poor got poorer under Obama.


Fast forward to today. The Computer Chips act, where billions of dollars were given, to rich people to make chips here in the US instead of overseas. So the companies on the NASDAQ are showing big time profits,(BIllions of our free tax dollars) and the stocks are soaring.

Biden Sends $53B to US Chipmakers by Signing CHIPS Act Into Law

The White House credits the act for already spurring more than $44 billion in new manufacturing plans. But rebuilding the US semiconductor industry will take years.

So the rich is getting richer and the poor staying poor under Biden/Harris.

Where is the outrage from you lefties who always say the rich should pay their fair share?

So, like picking and choosing what will have a tariff and what will not?

Does this distributing an extra 22 billon dollars in cash to farmers, on top of the 25 billon dollars they already receive count under this Marxism thing you are talking about?

In a class by birth or by worth? Not making a distinction makes all comments meaningless.

Under pure Marxism any commerce and industry is owned collectively by the state and a small oligarchy will choose who will be in charge of running necessary industries. Nobody will own their own business any more or work for their own benefit.

And all but a very favored few will be quite the poorer for it.

CRONY CAPITALISM

Is there any other kind of capitalism today? This is its natural development and future transformation into fascism.

Is there any other kind of capitalism today? This is its natural development and future transformation into fascism.

There will be, once the slime in our government gets thrown in jail. Too many establishment pukes have been immune to the will of the people. But now there is a new sheriff in town, by the will of the people.

 

[Ringo]

Ask the capitalist to raise your wages by $100 and he will say he can't afford it.
Join with other workers in a trade union and the capitalist will allow himself to spend millions of rubles to fight you.

Communism is opposed by:
1. Those whose domination in a communist society is impossible.
2. Those who, at the expense of the former, broadcast what helps justify and strengthen the domination of the former.
3. Those who know nothing about communism except what the latter broadcast.

Obsolete. Our Technology has far outstripped the necessity of grunt labor.

3. Those who know nothing about communism except what the latter broadcast.

It is opposed by anyone who understands it which is most people

Take away the “national partition” that capitalists put up everywhere, dividing and ruling, and it turns out that workers of different nationalities have nothing to divide, they have nothing but chains and partitions.

 

[Soupnazi630]

Communists/socialists have national partitions as well

workers have to divide everything regardless of where they live

Crony capitalism is one of the defining characteristics of modern conservatism. If you send Republicans millions in campaign donations, Republicans will return the favor with billions in sweet government cash. Trump isn't new in that regard, he's just taken the crony capitalism to new corrupt heights.

Needless to say, every Truymp cultists here enthusiastically supports that corruption, and despises anyone who calls out their love of corruption.

And needless to say, Democrats don't do it to anywhere near the extent that Republicans do it.

As is always the case on every issue, 90% of the corruption here comes from the right. That means anyone who tries a mealymouthed "WAAAAAAA but both sides do it!" is willingly running cover for the Republican corruption, and is thus part of the corruption

Marxism intends to eliminate the bourgeoisie, not to fund them and make them bigger.

at the root of this is Milton Friedman. Prior to him, capitalists tried to do better for themselves by making product of better value than their competitor. But then after Milton Friedman, you had the bourgeoisie using every means to maximize profits to the limit of ethics and beyond.

The three pillars of anti-communist ideology: petty-bourgeois egocentrism (for those who aspire to be masters of life), patriarchal and religious sanctuaries (for those who have nothing to gain), and artificial dumbing down (for the youth to choose only from what is offered).
