So opposition spending $250M to win an election and then given control over government spending by that same president, while owning companies that have billions in government contracts, is Marxism? In most non-Marxist democratic countries, the above would be considered corruption.
- mattmaroon 2y agoIt's Marxism to assume that it's at all rational to limit the amount of wealth someone can accumulate. What is the alternative to unlimited accumulation of wealth?
- insane_dreamer 2y agoIf that’s the definition of Marxism, sign me up!
- ivewonyoung 2y agoRepeating myself from another comment. The dems outspent republicans by a billion or so, so 250M didn't do much. If it did, Kamala would've won by a lot. Way more billionaires supported Kamala vs. Trump (83 vs 52).
- insane_dreamer 2y agoThe point is not how much was raised. The point is that the person who gave the most -- by far -- is now in a position to unilaterally make major decisions affecting all Americans, and other countries too (USAID).
