Capitalists don’t want to invest in solar systems for the public because making electricity too cheap benefits the public not the investor. That’s where taxes come in. We can use public money to build infrastructure that makes things cheaper for the public.
The "problem" is that electricity has become too cheap—"too cheap to meter" as they used to say of nuclear power. This may be a problem for investors, but a socialist should welcome this, no?
@MsTikq@Rafa_Mangual They pivoted to car phones cause they made more sense in the 60s. This story was written about 30 years after the USSR created the first mobile phone system.
@1MichaelOffutt@sfliberty@DonnaArchibal12 He might have taken it from God, but it’s undeniably the core tenant of Marxist-Leninism. The only countries to ever put it in their constitution were led by Marxists. You hate the idea of lumpen socialism, which puts you on the same side of the issue as Marx, Lenin and myself.
@boom_fried@KevinsAlt13@WonderKing82 You can read released CIA documents. They pay for influence all the time. It is likely that the entity paying him is the CIA, meaning he would have a contact or “handler” from the CIA. Less likely it’s another organization but the point remains that he’s being paid to say that.
@Kristof_Poland I never read the book because I thought it was anti-communist propaganda but from what you’re describing Orwell predicted the fall of east Germany? That’s crazy
@KevinsAlt13@WonderKing82 OP doesn’t care about those groups either. His CIA handler is anti-worker and the best way to suppress workers is to divide them on racial lines. Nothing works without solidarity.
I could have swore DSA was a CIA opp but now we have this lady attacking DSA with the CIA’s go to “well yes they have good policies, but they’re white!” Complex opp.
I was asked what are my thoughts when I’m asked about DSA:
The organization itself based on its own data is over 85% White, mostly male and mostly wealthy. I’ll add to that the members share a collective White supremacist I know better for you than you know for yourself mindset. They didn’t listen to the ppl of Palestine in 2024 who wanted them to support Kamala Harris nor did they listen to Black ppl here who told them what a Trump reelection would mean for BIPOC and other marginalized communities and they didn’t listen to us in 2016 either and we ended up with a conservative SCOTUS that’s now stripping us of our constitutional rights one at a time. They are racist, anti-Black, anti-semitic, anti-East Asian non-Democrats who follow the teachings of a registered Independent who’s never passed any legislation and is the senator of the literal Whitest state in the union. They have no clue what middle, working and low income Americans need because those labels have never applied to them and if they really cared about POC, they would amplify our movements rather than try to force theirs upon us
@neontaster Everyone thinks conservatives are evil but when you see posts like this you realize the real issue is just low IQ. We’re not talking about Seth Rogan and Keanu Reeves because Rogan and Reeves are about 11.5 times closer to $0 than to $1 billion.
@nathanrizzolo@america My ancestors fought and bled for this country. Your ancestors were stepping on grapes and eating pizza in Italy or some shit. Stop LARPing.
