everyone who doesn't like Biden is a Russian
"Everything I don't like is Russian or Chinese."
Asking in genuine good faith: when you see politicians that abuse their power to this extent, how is your argument that they need more power through either socialism or communism? How would giving them that kind of control improve anything?
Politicians serve who controls them, ie who funds them. The idea isn't to take an existing Capitalist state and add a bunch of state power, but to restructure the state and economy along proletarian democracy, ie worker councils and whatnot.
Socialism isn't giving Capitalist politicians control, but giving workers control of the state and economy.
bOtHsIdEsAmE is bs.
One side wants to fuck the working class. The other side wants to fuck the working class and kill gays.
Oh yeah Union empowerment from Dems is sooo bad. The non compete clause being stuck down is sooo bad (came from Dems appointments). ACA from Obama is sooo bad. Student debt relief from Dems is soooooo bad.
You need to open your eyes.
Biden broke the rail strike and tons of Trump-era NLRB decisions remain in place. Dems are not pro-labor, though many do try to wrap themselves in the aesthetic selectively. For example, none of them care about the global working class and virtually none care about the economic underclass of undocumented labor.
I see them show up to give speeches and then fail to provide material support when it's needed. I see them cut worker protections. I see them cozy up to their business owner donors and do the bidding of the chamber of commerce.

I'm not interested in trying to guess at what the point is based on a YouTube video from an ignorant human trafficker. Can you tell me in your own words?
