What do you mean?
- salawat 5mo agoPerhaps you haven't been paying attention to the skyrocketing prices of fuel, food, and healthcare... Or did you just think all those people just above the poverty line disappear when the livable income floor gets hydraulically jacked up?
- AnimalMuppet 5mo agoI'm aware. What I don't see are the millions of dead bodies that hootz says are currently being produced.
- pocksuppet 5mo agoThey are not all in one place, and their death certificate doesn't say "politics" on it. They are in cemeteries all over the country and died of many different immediate causes.

- pocksuppet 5mo agoI think they mean, the USA (or capitalism in general) is currently killing millions of our own people. We know how many people communism killed, but has anyone done the same math on capitalism? Maybe they're both very bad, and we have to find a third way.
- Atlas667 5mo agoComment OP here. The third way is just capitalism with extra "were different" rhetoric. Remember capitalism isnt a vibe its the private control of production for profit. All "third way" people are just capitalists with extra checks and balances for freedom. What they dont say or realize is that these extra checks and balances can be done away with by the very incentives of the people they think wont. Power isnt a vibe, its the control of production made policy.
