Than taken overseas by fleeing oligarchs? Yes, obviously. What are you doing in this com?

Agreed but there are better options than government ownership

Lol, you were literally saying that we can't raise tax then because they'll leave, you don't fucking agree you lying slug, you literally do think those assets are best off being clutched too by oligarchs

Nope. I'm just being honest. Socialism cannot be implemented at the national level. There's a reason communists are internationalists.

Yeah man, communists definitely ring their hands about how we can't seize assets from billionaires because the government is worse, definitely

Depends on the type. I'm a market socialist. Leninism isn't good enough.
