BREAKING 🚨: Kmele Foster: “It's one thing to not think capitalism isn't working, ideally. It's another thing entirely to insist that it is oppressive, that it is bound up with white supremacy.”
Jemele Hill: “How is it not?”
Kmele Foster: “I've always preferred Adam Smith's description of capitalism as the natural system of liberty. The idea that people can own property, that they can exchange it freely with one another for profit, that they can find ways to put their resources to good use and profit in a way that is actually beneficial to everyone else, that there can be gains from trade that are mutually beneficial. These are foundational ideas that have created more wealth than any other system in human history. That is what capitalism is. That is not white supremacy.”
Jemele Hill: “Do you think capitalism has always worked that way?”
Kmele Foster: “I’ve actually just described the basic facts of the economics.”
Hill: “That ain't how it's always worked.”
Kmele Foster: “Slavery is an institution that is older than writing. It predates capitalism. The notion that white supremacy and all these other things are bound up with capitalism in an intrinsic and fundamental way is so absurd and laughable, it barely needs to be defended.”
Jemele Hill: “How was it absurd?”
Kmele Foster: “It barely needs to be defended.”
Jemele Hill: “What do you mean it barely needs to be defended?”
Kmele Foster: “You actually have to articulate what the connections is. How are these two things the same? I'm talking about private property, the right to exchange and sell with whomever you like. What does that have to do with white supremacy?… What is the white supremacy dynamic of private property?”
🚨 JUST IN: CNN is facing major blowback for giving airtime to Scott Galloway after he insinuated ELON MUSK should be EXECUTED for being a "traitor to the west"
Anderson Cooper just acts like it never happened 😠
PROTECT ELON AT ALL COSTS 🙏🏻
Galloway said: "We lined up the Rosenbergs against a wall. This is a traitor to the West, and he should be held to the same standards as every other traitor in the West."
He doubled down on Election Day: "We took the Rosenbergs and put them up against a wall and executed them for being traitors. And I realize this is an incendiary statement, but I'll make it, and I believe it."
Any conservative who said this about a Democrat would be banned from every network for life!
Poll worker just admitted it on camera:
No ID needed.
One person can register/vouch for 8 others.
That’s how they manufacture the Blue Wave.
This isn’t democracy. This is organized fraud.
There are many things I find maddeningly stupid about the discourse surrounding Nazis vs. Communists is the ways in which almost everyone simply ignores what the Communists actually did while pretending they're radically different ideologies.
For instance, there's this myth that Nazis were nationalists and imperialists who tried to take over Europe to expand Germany while the communists don't do things like that. Meanwhile, Stalin expanded Russia by forcibly annexing 14 neighboring countries and the Soviet military occupied ~10 more in Europe and Asia for varying lengths of time.
"Fatherland" and "Motherland" are the same thing.
"National Socialism" and "International Socialism" are the same in practice as well.
You can go down the list and almost every single thing you can think of that people claim was a substantial differentiator simply isn't.
Yesterday, on one of my posts where I was inundated with communist losers, I had to explain for the millionth time that the Nazis were -- in fact -- socialists.
When you say that to communists, and frankly to most people, they get confused and/or get very mad at you for saying this, but there's simply no sane universe where you can argue that this wasn't the case and it becomes wildly apparent when you spend time actually reading primary sources.
Some of the objections I got were like "Well why did Hitler bust the labor unions?" and "Why did he privatize everything?"
To the first question, the answer is: Because he explicitly wanted to roll all unionized labor organizing into a single entity (the German Labor Front) which was controlled by the Nazi Party. He said he wanted to do this in Mein Kampf and then did do it once he was in power. His argument was that the state should be built around protecting the German worker, so there was no need for separate unions outside the party.
But what I didn't say yesterday was that Stalin did exactly the same thing in the USSR. His tactic was slightly different, in that he allowed the continuation of existing labor unions... but in practice all of the unions that were allowed had to be subservient to the Communist Party.
Quoting Stalin:
“Formally, the Party cannot give instructions to the trade unions, but the Party gives instructions to the Communists who work in the trade unions.”
Of course, you might claim that the Nazi's GLF union wasn't a real labor union because it didn't actually improve the conditions of the German worker and the state simply dictated all the wages, work hours, prices, etc., but.......... guess what.... Same thing happened in the USSR where purchasing power dropped massively over Stalin's rule and wages did not go up to compensate, workers ended up being forced into a 6+ day work week, all wages, prices, and even job opportunities themselves were controlled by the state.
Anybody who tried to unionize or go on strike against the wishes of the Communist Party would find themselves in the Gulag.
The same issue applies to "privatization". Hitler NATIONALIZED what would probably be billions or maybe trillions of modern dollars worth of land and capital. He took entire businesses from his political enemies, from Jewish owners, from Jewish sympathizers, from wealthy land owners who -- according to the Nazis -- weren't using it for the benefit of "the people" (read: the state/Nazi Party).
And while Stalin handed key state appointments to his friends and political allies where they got control and cash rights over entire industries while the "companies" they got to manage were still legally owned by the state, Hitler, Mussolini, and the fascists did the same thing in a slightly different way. On paper, one of Hitler's cronies might be given a "private business" by the Nazi Party, but they were only allowed to do what the Party demanded of them and if the Nazis felt that the owner wasn't being obedient enough, they'd send that guy to jail and put someone else in his place.
These are just two flavors of the same authoritarian shit sandwich, and almost nothing about their ideological missions were substantially different, no matter what insane whitewashing you'll find online or even in most history books.
On a related note, this is a real political cartoon from 1947.
🇩🇪🚨MEGA-ESCÁNDALO: La ganadora de las elecciones de BERLÍN, del partido de ultraizquierda Die Linke confiesa por error que Hamás controla su partido y teme por su vida💣
Un error acaba de generar una crisis de seguridad impresionante. La revista Der Spiegel —un medio, cabe destacar, de marcada tendencia izquierdista— ha sacado a la luz un documento interno que prueba cómo Die Linke ha sido secuestrado por el islamismo.
Su candidata a gobernar Berlín, Elif Eralp, envió por accidente a la redacción las notas privadas de una entrevista donde confiesa estar coaccionada y aterrorizada por Hamás que opera dentro de su propio partido.
Resulta que luego de una entrevista, el equipo de la candidata revisó la transcripción. Durante este proceso, Eralp hizo comentarios internos que debían quedar en la más estricta confidencialidad. Sin embargo, el documento con las acotaciones sin borrar fue devuelto a los periodistas.
El contenido de esas notas es dinamita. Cuando Der Spiegel le preguntó por Ibrahim Ibrahim —un propalestino simpatizante de Hamás que celebró la masacre del 7 de octubre—, la respuesta pública iba a ser esquiva. Pero en el margen del documento filtrado, Eralp escribió la verdad: «Hay un PROBLEMA. [...] mi marido no, y yo tampoco, quiero nombrar nombres concretos, él tiene miedo de esta gente y yo también».
La filtración expone la cruda realidad del islamoizquierdismo en Alemania: Eralp llegó a comparar el nivel de amenaza de estos militantes pro-Palestina con el del Crimen Organizado e implora abortar la publicación: «No puedo poner en peligro a mí misma y a mi familia por Der SPIEGEL. ¿Qué hacemos ahora? ¿Anulamos toda la entrevista?».
El mayor chiste de toda esta situación, sin embargo, quedó plasmado en una de las frases que Eralp sí quería publicar. En un alarde de desconexión absoluta, la candidata afirma en la entrevista: «Lo que sí puedo decir con total claridad es que, como alcaldesa gobernante, velaré por la seguridad de todas las berlinesas y todos los berlineses». Una promesa que resulta irrisoria viniendo de una dirigente que, en el mismo documento, reconoce en secreto que ni siquiera puede proteger a su propia familia de las bases de su partido.
Luego del escándalo, Eralp ha anunciado que procederá legalmente contra Der Spiegel y presentará una queja formal ante el Consejo de Prensa por haber citado sus anotaciones internas. Esta maniobra judicial evidencia de inmediato lo susceptibles y completamente desbordados que están en realidad estos cuadros dirigentes frente a situaciones de crisis.
La izquierda radical berlinesa creyó que podía capitalizar electoralmente el extremismo islámico; hoy, los documentos demuestran que es el extremismo quien los tiene de rehenes.
Elon Musk called for Robert Reich to be jailed on Sunday after Reich called to seize Musk’s property. Musk is right. Reich said Democrats should start laying the groundwork to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX and turn them into a public corporation if they take the House or Senate. Musk responded: “Stealing companies is a serious crime. Prison for Reich.”
More Democrats are openly embracing communism now, and it needs to be legally responded to seriously. Anyone promoting communism and the taking of private property from law-abiding citizens as a penalty for success should be jailed or lose their citizenship.
Reich is a former U.S. Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton, a longtime Berkeley professor, and a frequent MSNBC commentator who has spent decades pushing higher taxes and expanded government control. He framed the nationalization call as a response to Musk supporting Trump and cutting into USAID spending. He also called for canceling federal contracts with Musk’s companies, breaking them up, and applying a wealth tax. That’s not regulation. That’s confiscation of private property because Musk backed the candidate Reich doesn’t like.
The same government that needed SpaceX to bring astronauts home is now being told to take the company. Reich has pushed this kind of economic intervention for years. This is the same playbook, just said out loud. Nationalizing private companies because of political disagreement is the core of how socialist and communist systems operate. They start with “public good” language, then move the assets under government control. Once the state owns the means of production in a sector, the owner loses the company and the public loses the competition that built it. Reich is treating Musk’s success as the problem and state ownership as the solution. Calling for the government to seize private companies over political disagreement is an attack on the right to own what you build.
Democrats used to at least pretend they supported private enterprise with rules around it. Reich is dropping the pretense. If taking Starlink and SpaceX is on the table for a midterm majority, every business owner who crosses them should expect the same treatment. That isn’t policy. It’s a direct threat to private ownership. Anyone who openly calls for seizing private companies over politics is an enemy of the country and should be legally treated as one.
The UK is a complete Clown World police state. Police raided a 15-year-old's home, arrested him, seized his devices, and collected his DNA over an AI-edited image of a local politician with bunny ears. They’re calling it a hate crime because he also called the guy a 'rent boy.' Since when is an AI meme and an insult a criminal offense?
"Vance thinks he's gonna be president...we need to keep FIRING, PISTOLS FIRING, at ALL TIMES, towards this guy.”
Democrat violence is genuinely concerning.
@thisguylenny@RealKidPoker They lost me, with Bill Clinton. When it became clear that he was a serial sexual predator and rapist, the party chose power over doing what was right. They lost their soul. Look back, before the woke ideology, they were on the wrong side long of most issues before wokeism.
BREAKING: Trump just called for investigations to find out who's getting kickbacks from all the ludicrous money spent at USAID.
Now you know why Democrats are sweating.
They know the Hammer of Justice is coming.
