    Communism- Socialism

    Maybe, just maybe, if there is massive corruption on both the employee and employer side, there is something inherently wrong with the whole wage labor system. :thinking:

    Communism- Socialism

    Stripping away the marketing talk, you sell clothes online. May I ask if you manufacture the product yourself?

    Communism- Socialism

    I missed this in our other cross talk. To be fair, there are a lot of valid points here. The small union I represent split off from a bigger AFSCME local because of several of them. They are now lean and have tight solidarity. Their costs are to hire me hourly when it's contract renewal time or...

    Communism- Socialism

    I'm certainly not asking you to dox yourself, but could you describe generally the type of business you own?

    Communism- Socialism

    Older and fatter :D. And with a better understanding of Marxism (which puts me at odds with about 95% of the American "Left").

    Communism- Socialism

    You identified yourself as a contract engineer. Any information you received was second-hand. I, on the other hand, was (and still am) the attorney for a small union and conducted the negotiations. Of course our experiences do not match. As an aside, there is something about the engineering...

    Communism- Socialism

    This is not the case. I represented a small union in contract negotiations earlier this year and signed nothing. The contract had to be signed by the elected union reps--actual workers--and then ratified by vote of the workers.

    Communism- Socialism

    My sister, I draw your attention to the words of St. Basil the Great in his homily on Luke 12:18 "I Will Pull Down My Barns": “But whom do I treat unjustly,” you say, “by keeping what is my own?” Tell me, what is your own? What did you bring into this life? From where did you receive it? It is...

    The rise of Democratic Socialism

    I think you need to add that the provision of public goods (roughly defined) should be through private entities paid by the state in sufficient amounts to prevent too much unrest in the populace.

    And even then, only about 5% of the trades are actually completed with goods changing hands. The rest (95%) are various speculative transactions.

    Communism- Socialism

    I'm a big fan of distributism. I also know it's not viable or sustainable. Still a big fan, though.

    Picture Leon Trotsky bursting through a wall like Kool-Aid Man screaming, "But that was just state capitalism in a deformed worker's state!"

    One might also ask why the Gospel needs to be preached when there is a free Bible in every motel room. :)

    Something like this then. :) :triangularflag:

    The rise of Democratic Socialism

    I don't really see Mr. Mamdani advocating for much more than some social democracy. Now, I'm not going to complain about it, but it sure isn't seizing the means of production or eliminating commodity production. Heck, it isn't even land value tax. Yet we see so much panic from the corridors of...

    Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Luther Boelter is former pastor, Tim Walz appointee

    I have seen no evidence of this and you have not provided any. Considering Mr. Boelter's other affiliations such as with Christ for the Nations, which appears to be a rather conservative organization. I applaud Christ for the Nations for being willing to admit Mr. Boelter was affiliated with...

    Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Luther Boelter is former pastor, Tim Walz appointee

    I don't believe Mr. Boelter was an undocumented person and thus the restriction on MNCare would not cut off any money to him. Nor was he a healthcare provider who could perhaps benefit from MNCar payments. The gentleman in the video is simply a liar. For the sake of your soul, I urge you not...
