Because politicians usually don’t bite the corporate hand that feeds them.
Oh ok. Sorry for sounding a bit harsh but it did seem to me the way you mentioned.
That’s a bad faith argument.
This way of binary thinking also has a Capitalsm equivalent. Some say Capitalsm ALWAYS end up in neo-liberal economies and with late stage Capitalsm with oligarchs and the death of the free market. For example oligarchs control most of the US economy and most economic policies are put forward with lobbying money. Is has become increasingly harder to start a small business in the US, hence US citizens’ tendancy to romantacize the Europe. If you say that Socialist movements ALWAYS end up in dictatorships then Capitalist moves should ALWAYS end up in late stage Capitalsm and the death of the free market.
In reality no contry is purely Capitalist or Socialist anymore. Otherwise the US wouldn’t put tariffs on Chinese cars to protect GM, Ford and now Tesla. A direct contradiction to free market policies. Meanwhile there isn’t a huge tariff especially for US cars in China. China ended up leaning towards Capitalism than before. Scandinavian countries absorbed a lof of leftist policies into their modern day government. Most of Vienna’s houses are government owned. Everyone has mixed policies because there are good in both Capitalist and Socialist principles. You just have to be implement whatever is good for the people and economy in a given climate.
It’s an incorrect example. For North Korea to be a Socialist paradise, it has to be Socialist first.
It’s like me saying the US would’ve been a Socialist paradise were it not for Trump’s presidency. It doesn’t have a base to construct a hypothesis.
Agree with some if your points but North Korea is not a socialist country. Their self proclamation doesn’t make it one in ths same way that I can proclaim to the the smartest person in the world without it being true.
Having democracy (voting rights) is a prerequisite for a socialist society. Some forms of socialism has a proxy government, but that government is elected by the people. The most basic requirement for socialism is a country where its workers decide on its production. North Korea is a dictatorship and has a command economy. Saying North Korea is socialist is akin to saying England in the middle ages were socialist. Both countries were governed by dictators and everything was decided by the kings court. We call that Fuedlism, not Socialism, don’t we?
“Accuses me of living inside an eco chamber”.
“Then links an article from a pro-Israeli propaganda outlet”.
LOL.
Take a map of the Israel given to the Jews by the UN in 1948 and compare it to the modern Israel then let’s talk about who’s factually incorrect.
Exactly! That’s why the world should severe its ties with Israel. Israel is a terrorist state that kills children. The most dangerous terrorist organisation right now according the number of civilians killed.
Here’s another title for you, “Israel forcefully exceeded the land given to them by UN from day 1 and has been killing children amd committing war crimes for 75 years.”
Here’s another one, “Israel has been forcefully occupying West Bank and other land area that are legally Palestine’s from 1948 the same year Israel was created”.
Except it’s the other way around. Ashoka gave up conquering after he converted to Buddhism.
What a shocker to find out his political party. /s
If only there was a free and open platform as an alternative to Reddit.
We already have an implementation. You me and OP are all on Lemmy. So can you answer these in the context of Lemmy again?
Have you read Jimmy Carter’s history? His Wikipedia says he was allowed by his father to befriend his black farmhand’s children and inherited land to grow peanuts after his Navy career. Does that sound like a regular Joe to you? He has received cash donations also.
You know that’s not true. It’s only a facade. You can only be president of you have billions of corporate bribes lobby money. Tell me an instance where a regular joe working 9 to 5 thought he should contribute to society and then became president.
Yeah, against a playboy who didn’t have any political experience or acumen whatsoever. This should’ve been a landslide victory for dems. I stand by what I said, Trump won because it was Hilary he was up against. If it were Bernie, Trump wouldn’t have had a chance.
What have these athletes done to personally contribute to genocide?
They might have not anything wrong. That’s why they should be allowed to compete under a neutral banner.
A recognition for all the hard work they have done. But Israel the terrorist state should not be recognised.
Contender? He should’ve been the president in 2016. Democrats had to fuck that up. Trump won mostly because people hated Hilary.
ikr? How dare they!
