Crazy that Marx and Engels weren’t socialists.

It’s simply not a part of the fediverse and it’s centralized to a single instance. It’s not any different than Twitter, except no one interesting uses it.

It’s a common estimate that by 2030 we’ll probably have the first blue ocean event, but at the rate we’ve accelerated fossil fuels use along with the military build up and use promised by Trump it’s increasingly likely we’ll see it before then, during Trump’s term.

So, the entire collapse of the food chain.

That’s nice, but there is no excuse for higher overhead than the amount of money actually spent on the problem, when the problem objectively can be solved by direct expenditure.

We know how to eliminate homelessness and the causes behind it even in a capitalist society. It doesn’t cost a billion per 100 transitional housing units.

Yes.

Yes, they might use it for drugs or alcohol, that’s fine, it’s as important as food sometimes.

Non profits and charities are great in theory, but most redirect less than 10% of what they receive towards the homeless look at LA’s projects as the most glaring example, it “takes” 10 million+ per single housing unit for temporary housing. Not due to cost, but simply corruption at every level. From the non profits involved to the government itself.

Giving directly to the homeless skips all that.

Or to put it another way, you can’t fix the problem or treat symptoms by continuing to give money to the cause of the problem. Giving directly at least treats the symptom.

To not be homeless anymore.

I remember being underwhelmed when elite dangerous released an expansion that let you explore some planets on foot. And then starfield released.

China’s not even slightly evil though. It’s suffered from bureaucracy in responding to evil, sure, but that’s going to happen to all groups of beings above a certain number for all time.

The need for police given their history and the history of the human race.

Ah, fair. I blame Saturday morning cartoons and a transition from violence for fun towards self harm. No need to punch each other or slap fight for competition if you can just see who can stand the most warheads at a time.

When were you a kid? Sour patch kids and warheads the like have dominated the candy aisle for the last few decades.

To see the end of humanity. Luckily I don’t have much longer to wait.

Except it’s currently working in practice in many countries, one of which is more successful by every measure than the US. Also Marxist-leninism is responsible for being more people out of poverty than any other system of socioeconomics.

The ones that explicitly state they are not socialist?

They’d stop doing capitalism. Entirely. If people in the US were smart, they would have been the vanguard of the communist revolution in the late 1800s when Marxist ideas were starting to spread in the us.

Entirely depends on region. Walmarts strategy is to take a loss in an area until all local competitors are out of business then crank back up until that area is profitable enough to subsidize new areas. In my area Walmart is cheaper than pretty much everyone except dollar stores, and dollar stores treat their employees even worse while having even worse quality food for barely any cheaper.

Suspicion of terrorism, or nothing at all. If the libs are right they wouldn’t care about charges anymore. But since libs are so rarely correct, the government can hold you for 72 hours without charge and the patriot act has a whole list of charges that require no evidence for an arrest. Also statistically you live within 100 miles of a US border if you’re in the US, meaning border patrol can arrest you for any reason or no reason indefinitely.

They’d win. Assuming they invest in messaging and campaigning, instead of whatever the fuck Harris spent a billion on.

You people will eventually need to understand that you’re wrong and you’re the reason Trump is in office. Hope you figure it out before you’re on the wrong end of an open class war.
