    Seriously. This country couldn’t do a better job promoting socialism if it tried. Capitalism to a majority of people under 50 means instability and hardship.

      The ones born after the Great Depression lived through an abnormal period of capitalism. One that featured a lot of socialist policies. As far as I’ve read, most people were well aware that capitalism was dog shit for the working class before that and a lot believed socialism was the solution.

        Yes. Capitalism was in an ideological battle with communism so the government put its thumb on the scale with socialism but gave credit to capitalism for the outcome. Then billionaires spent 75 years indoctrinating, corrupting, and distorting history to claw back their power.

          This guy is informed. Socialism got us out of the hole capitalism dug in the depression. Seeing their power slip away, conservative politicians wasted no time in shifting the narrative. The US needs another FDR to equalize things (let’s just skip the prison camps this go).

    Life for the working class has gotten progressively worse every year for my entire life.

      That’s what I need to do. I just gave up recently. I was so happy to be sitting here as a stay at home dad and making money.

      I’m glad I mostly cashed out when dipshit Don was elected because I knew he was going to tank us.

    Get ready to seize that opportunity! Huge equity deals in the next 6-12 months. My pants are getting tighter just thinking about it…

    What’s up with all these 2010 memes with democrat talking points showing up recently? Was there like a thinktank that came up with the idea to reach more fellow kids?
