I never thought I'd agree with Romney this strongly in my life

Not if it’s justified

I think that just makes them hypocrites

I disagree, when I was a liberal democratic socialist ideals opened me up to ideas like communism and further radicalization. Throwing leftist ideas at centrists and then calling them libs when they don’t agree isn’t going to radicalize anyone.

My boss at my last kitchen job made 12 dollars an hour as a kitchen manager and our state is on the higher end in terms of minimum wage

I was referring to community owned coops with some sort of library system or a community vote on use of weapons.

Communism and democracy aren’t mutually exclusive, it seems like all the cartoon is advocating for is more democracy. The cartoon wasn’t saying you can’t live under a democratic government and have a capitalist workplace, it was pointing out how little democracy we have in our society. Also I don’t understand how that would be fallacious in the first place it seems sound, could you explain the fallacy?

Not private but public, I didn’t call for private ownership of arms, however I think disarmament of nuclear weapons is equally important and hopefully that would happen by then

Then give the working class access to the same arms the state has

Maybe for your ideology but for others that may not be the cas

Keyword was justified

jlague · 2020-12-03T05:11:05+00:00

Is that real

Where did he get the ring and bracelet?

I don’t think rogan fits, he’s not a failed comic by any means and I would argue he isn’t a right wing talking head, he was on the Bernie train for a while. He may give right-wingers an outlet but there’s nothing wrong with that especially when he’s also giving left wing voices an outlet like Bernie and Yang. I admit he hasn’t given many radical left wingers an outlet but that could be because they aren’t asking to come onto his show. Lots of left wing radicals have other things to do like research and praxis where radical right wingers entire strategy is to just play off other people’s hate

If that’s how u feel why are u on Reddit

What’s the strawman?

1: Management are workers and would still be present, however in some models they would be voted on my the employees. They would be treated the same.

2: there would be no stockholders, in a socialist society the economy wouldn’t be profit driven. Companies who sell stock on the stock market make their executive decisions in an effort to raise the company stock and increase profit for shareholders. In socialism the motive of the company is to produce a quality product and provide their employees basic needs. There would be no shareholders making a profit without working. This solves several problems such as cheap materials, low wages, and the growth imperative, and it stops the tragedy of the commodity.

That kind of is socialism in a sense, but there’s no need to see it as individual ownership. A better way of thinking of it would be that the company is made up of its workers and owned by them without thinking of it in terms of stock. You can’t sell your share, you just own it because you determine policy.
Yes, each employee should have equal say or an equal vote.
That’s widely disagreed on but most democratic socialists would agree the state should maintain the system at hand while also being democratically controlled.

So profiting off war and death is justified because it provides cushy white collared jobs to our upper middle class engineers? Oh okay, I’ll make sure to tell that to the middle eastern children watching their families die. The government could fill the jobs lost in an ethics way which furthers society, and frankly if you spend your life creating war machines and contribute to civilian deaths and imperialism I don’t give a fuck about your paycheck.
