Describing the United States as an "advanced Third World country," longtime consumer advocate and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader calls for a new mass movement to challenge the power corporations have in Washington. "It is not too extreme to call our system of government now 'American Fascism.' It's the control of government by big business, which Franklin Delano Roosevelt defined in 1938 as fascism," Nader says.What difference does that make?
Do those thousands of unemployed people have a human right to shelter and food, or do you prefer a Herbert Hoover's "trickle down" approach to capitalism's many inherent failures?So you can drive thousands of people into unemployment, and still have hundreds of jobs in engineering, or technical jobs, or nurses and doctors, or lawyers and accountants that all need filled.

Billionaires acquire their wealth by taking more from society than they contribute.They would exist even less without Government libraries.
No, wealth isn’t created at the top. It is merely devoured there | Rutger Bregman
"This piece is about one of the biggest taboos of our times.
"About a truth that is seldom acknowledged, and yet – on reflection – cannot be denied.
"The truth that we are living in an inverse welfare state."
There would be a 10 year waiting list, your cell phone would cost you $1000 a month for 100 minutes and your internet would use your TRS-80 and a 16K connection for an hour a day.
Your cable would have 3 channels for 12 hours a day. And they'd all be RT.
Universal Income is Satanic and from The UN. Do not fall in to this baited trap which will lead to the oppression of many.

These Policies Could Move America Toward a Universal Basic Income
Bill was born into a family rich enough to give him access to ten thousands hours of computer programming instruction BEFORE he went to Harvard. He and Paul Allen used the politically constructed laws and institutions specifically designed by previous generations of US capitalists to acquire their billion$No, billionaires are created by us, the consumer. Do you think Bill Gates was always a billionaire? He made his first computer in his garage.
Consider the size of Microsoft today.
Roughly 156,000 employees.
A one trillion$ market cap.
Bill Gates does a fraction of one percent of the daily work at Microsoft, yet he extorts a much larger proportion of the profits because of how rich capitalists constructed our current political economy.
He is a parasite on society.
Do you honestly believe we would have no Big Macs, cellphones, Whoppers, or gasoline without billionaires?his is what you're asking for. You gave all these rich people your money for Big Mac's, cell phones, Whoppers, gasoline, cable television, computers, internet, a printer, and now want that money back while keeping the product you now have that made them wealthy.
You don't see the unfairness of this?
This is the unfairness I believe represents our biggest threat because of its malignant effect on democracy:
The 1 Percent Are Cheating Us Out of a Quarter-Trillion Dollars in Taxes Every Year
"'With the money that these tax cheats owe, this year alone, we could fund tuition-free college for all, eliminate child hunger, ensure clean drinking water for every American household, build half a million affordable housing units, provide masks to all, produce the protective gear and medical supplies our health workers need to combat this pandemic, and fully fund the U.S. Postal Service,' said Senator Bernie Sanders, who requested the CBO study. 'That is an absolute outrage, and this report should make us take a long, hard look at what our national priorities are all about.'"
Hundreds of millions of workers/consumers make your comfortable life possible; the billionaires are less useful than the Amish in that regard.So I'm more than happy to give the millionaires and billionaires my money. They make my life enjoyable, convenient and comfortable so I don't have to live like the Amish.
We did it with slavery and genocide, remember?Our side is the correct side and I'll tell you why: Our country is relatively new. We've only been around a few hundred years. Compared to societies that have been around for thousands of years, we became the worlds super power in that short time. We became the most successful, the wealthiest, the strongest in the entire world, and we didn't do that with socialism or communism. We did it with capitalism.
Your lifestyle and mine has stemmed, to a large degree, from the murder, maiming, and displacement of millions of innocent human beings over the last 75 years. Look at Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and Libya today. It is the US dollar's global reserve status that underpins our lifestyles, and it is the US military war crimes that backstop the US dollar. MAGA?
There is no other country on the planet capable of replacing the US that isn't an authoritarian nightmare; Russia and China are probably the only two contenders. That doesn't mean the billionaires and their political hacks aren't taking the US down that same road. You might be happy celebrating American Exceptionalism, but I see it more and more as a threat to all humanity.there is no other USA to move back to. There is only one, and that's us. Once this place is gone, it's gone forever. That's what we on the right are trying to prevent.

America is fascist, but precisely because it has adopted the kinds of policies that you endorse. The last thing we need is more Nader style fascism. Turds like Nader want corporations to be an extension of the government. That's what fascism is.Describing the United States as an "advanced Third World country," longtime consumer advocate and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader calls for a new mass movement to challenge the power corporations have in Washington. "It is not too extreme to call our system of government now 'American Fascism.' It's the control of government by big business, which Franklin Delano Roosevelt defined in 1938 as fascism," Nader says.What difference does that make?

You haven't actually been, or known anyone who was, or have even supported a real on the ground charity to a third world country..... have you?
There are places in this world today, that have electricity for only 3 hours a day.
Describing the US as an advanced third world country, is the most ignorant and brain damaged claim I've ever heard.
This is why I fully support forced expulsion of people who hate the US. I would love to round you people up, and force you to live in a 3rd world country for just 3 months. You live there for 3 months, and then you can come back.
Just three months, you would be begging to come back to the US, and work McDonald's for minimum wage.
How do I know this? Because people come here from those countries, and work McDonald's, and think they are in Utopia compared to where they came from.
I was just watching a video of a guy pulled out of the sea on a raft, and he was laying on the floor of the rescue boat, and the reporter asked why he did this, and his only response was "either kill me or take me somewhere else. Don't send me back".
And here you are, being a whiny spoiled brat. Those 3rd world people would spit on your face for acting this way, and talking like that about America.
Right wingers in the South fought a war to keep slavery. Don't tell us how good capitalism when the US under the Articles failed.There is no other country on the planet capable of replacing the US that isn't an authoritarian nightmare; Russia and China are probably the only two contenders. That doesn't mean the billionaires and their political hacks aren't taking the US down that same road. You might be happy celebrating American Exceptionalism, but I see it more and more as a threat to all humanity.there is no other USA to move back to. There is only one, and that's us.

You remind me of Jordan Peterson's lecture on how people rarely have ideas, but ideas tend to have people, and you can tell which are which, because when confronted with endless counter evidence they keep parroting the same response.
This is what you have been doing this whole thread.
Russia and China both, in the name of equality and socialism, have slaughtered roughly 60 million people each.
When Socialist north Vietnam invaded the south, they slaughtered tens of thousands of civilians without even having a reason. Some even said they killed anyone who wore glasses, because glasses were 'western'. So for the crime of being able to see, they were put to death.
And here you are, blindly, ignorantly, parroting the socialist left-wing idiocy that the United States is the threat to humanity.
Again, this is why I would support forced expulsion of people who hate the US. I would love to see your sorry whiny butt sent to an anti-capitalist country, and see what your ideals played out, really look like.
ROFL! Calling Southerners in the day and age "right wingers" is as nonsensical as calling the King of the Franks a Democrat.Right wingers in the South fought a war to keep slavery.

Steve jobs is forcing kids to dig for cobalt? What do you imagine they would be doing otherwise, watching television?
