It has to be fucking taken by force, and I dont wanna hear any of your goddamn neoliberal whining about it. It's not "the world's billionaires"; it's "world billionaires propped up by US monetary policy". It has to stop. Bezos, btw, literally destroys companies and competition with a simple mouse click. He single-handedly controls the entirety of online commerce. One guy. Controlling EVERYTHING.
They took it by force, why can't we?
Some of them literally have their money in Euros and European companies, which the US does not control. I'm not going to whine if you wanna revolution, that's understandable, but be factual on the way.
USD is the king but yeah euro system is the other half of the orphan crushing machine
They subject to the same rules and interoperabile
Oligarchs can move within eurodollar no problems
If things continue the way that they are, we’ll have one shop for everything, we’ll all drive the same car, get your energy from the same company…
A cabal of Digi-tech-al robber Barons running the country openly. Elon Musk is going to be a staff member of the US Government.
Then why aren't you doing it?
Answer the question.
It's working pretty well for me, because I live in the UK. If I get ill, I go to the hospital and get better.
But thanks for the laugh.
Apology accepted
Dude, I think that sentiment is shared among all the political spectrum. What happens after is what we tend to debate. I love communism in a vacuum, but many just see it as changing one corruptible system for another.
I somehow like the system Germany kinda has. More Social while still having control. Some say its hard to become rich as a company, but also you can have many securities. Still. I prefer a mix of both worlds
I'm sorry that I whine about not killing people.
As someone that has taken beating after beating I'm not down with violence except the verbal type. But worry not they take crazy-ies like me out to fields, make us dig our own graves, and then shoot us into them.
So maybe I have a different view of "violence for change" than you do.
