Sort of like socialism
"Them" is different in the two cases. In this case it's to benefit a few oligarchs. In the case of socialism it's to benefit the general public.
That's the way it's supposed to be until the wealthy cunts need something, it's their profits, and our losses wgen we have to bail them out, c'mon man get it together, that's what I was implying at least
In a socialist system the "wealthy cunts" are not in charge. If they are then the label "socialist" isn't really correct any more.
Though in some circles the label "socialist" actually corresponds to "a political structure or philosophy that changes based on context but always means whatever I don't like", in which case I guess go ahead and use it. I find this definition to be somewhat less useful, however.
Do you know how many times they say we need your money so together we can beat socialism. I know wtf it means numb nuts, sorry reading too much doom scrolling and my patience is wearing thin, very thin. So don't reply numb nuts I've said for years prior to this hell on earth (I'm atheist fyi) that I make Democrats look like Republicans, I'm for helping people not hurting, and everyone one with over 500mil should be [redacted] and that ia a good start.
There's that nebulous "they" again. And now childish ad hominems too, and a demand that I "don't reply." I get the impression that continuing to discuss would be pretty pointless, yeah.
So are you defending the wealthy? cause if so you'd be correct, this no longer needs to be a conversion to have. I'm probably older than you, I'm not like a majority of my peers, but if I'm older then yeah I got an education before they started to dumb it down. Smartest guy no, but not an average nor below average intelligence. There's the old saying you might be better educated than me aka college but you're not smarter than me. So again eat the wealthy, fuck gop and a majority of the democrats
No, I'm suggesting that you're not very knowledgeable about socialism.
