@motazzod@Dstanc2@mjver1tas@Kadotttt I actually agree. Capital and risk have value, and a fair return is reasonable. But when owners capture so much of the value workers create that millions of those workers can’t afford necessities, we’ve stopped rewarding investment and started institutionalizing exploitation.
@Dstanc2@mjver1tas@motazzod@Kadotttt Boiling down an entire multifaceted collection of political theories unified primarily by the idea that workers should retain more or all of the value they create through their labor as “retarded” is actually more retarded unless you yourself are a capital owner.
@motazzod@Kadotttt Socialism doesn’t require pretending everyone is equally skilled or productive. It argues that differences in ability don’t justify a capitalist class owning productive resources and taking the surplus value workers create. You’re confusing equal human worth with equal ability.
@JohnCFLoftus1 You screamed “SOCIALISM!” at everything for so long that people finally looked it up, often from a “know the enemy" POV.
Turns out we were taught fuck-all about it in school, and some of it actually makes a lot of sense.
You accidentally became socialism’s best recruiters.
@TerryWatkinsJr1 We do not owe loyalty to a single fucking politician ever. This is what got us in this clusterfuck in the first place.
You either lead effectively, represent the will of your constituents rather than your own, and get shit done.
If you fail to do these things, you’re out.
@he6476364@atrupar Yes but not because of this. As much as I want to see Trump exiled to Little Saint James like the pedo-Napoleon he is, impeachment without the votes is not the correct move. Get shit done, make peoples lives better, and accumulate enough goodwill to bury trumpism once and for all
@RyanRazzy11@TomTiffanyWI Even if he did. WHO FUCKING CARES!?!? The economy is on life support, no one can buy a house, and we have another powder keg in the Middle East. All this guy cares about is shit that has never personally effected me or anyone I know.
