Impossible challenge: name a scenario in which the socialists' warnings to the public haven't come true.

Also about the last part, the neoliberal wing of the Democratic party (basically the entire thing) has been paid off by billionaires, and is therefore incompatible with leftist idiology. When one side says "we want single payer healthcare" and the other says "we believe in the need for the profit motive in the healthcare industry and we will block any and all attempts at diminishing the profits of health insurance corporations," then those two sides have inherently incompatible idiologies and compromise is impossible.

Also about the tone policing, I believe that was a literal psyop by the neoliberal wing and billionaires in order to push people away from left wing (socialist) idiology. See: the CIA's Simple Sabotage Field Manual, which perfectly describes this method of sabotaging (in this case) a political movement. There's also the side effect of people who buy into tone policing doing the work for them and not focusing on economic issues.

In the Vanity Fair article, Ivana Trump told a friend that her husband's cousin, John Walter "clicks his heels and says, 'Heil Hitler," when visiting Trump's office.

This was an article written in 2015.

Of course, this must mean that the minimum wage will increase by an equal percentage, right?

Right?

They covered the victims' faces so the cowards maybe won't have to live with what they've done.

Y'know, "love" and "generosity."

It's also totally possible to survive on a cross for three days and for someone to take you down while you're unconscious and put you in a cave.

Ever notice how Republicans all at once and very rapidly stopped talking about paper ballots?

Don't let your memes be dreams

I think the reference to weed stores is more about the lack of motivation than the milk.

Democracy isn't the problem; it's the money in politics, which is an intended effect of capitalism.

Capitalism is the problem. Capitalism by its very natire is a system of economic distribution where you have an owner class who control a working class via wages, where the working class will never be paid what they are worth due to the profit motive that the owner class has when it comes to the profit of their business. Shareholder capitalism makes this even worse, as the profit year-over-year must ALWAYS go up, as that is how stock price increases. It is to the point where shareholders sue companies not for losing money, but for making less money than they did the year prior, and they win.

Imagine an alternative where you could have democracy in your workplace (worker-owned coops). You would be able to hire and fire your boss with a vote. You will be able to determine the direction of the business, also with a vote. This could be the reality if we just forced all corporations to be worker-owned coops.

This, combined with a hard wealth cap and a UBI, will prevent any one person (or small group of people) from gaining enough power to buy a government, and the addition of democracy in business will also make business interests harder to corrupt as well.

~~Unchecked~~ capitalism.

You can sub for basically any cream of blank. Just think of something that goes well with green beans.
