  1.  @springerworks002  "Social security is a charity." You dont pay into charities. You pay into Social Security. Thus it is not a charity, but you getting your money back during retirement. Like, do you not understand how social security works? Do you know why social security exists in the first place?

  2.  @jonathanjones3126  "most European countries are the size of some of our states" And most people travel within their state. What's your point? "trains don't scale as good as planes for long distance" Yes they do. See Chinas massive HSR network. Planes need massive infrastructure to use and remove a lot of land that could be developed in better ways. Trains require significantly less space. There are countless videos that show the countless different corridor's in USA for HSR when compared to corridors in other parts of the world. You dont know what you are talking about and are just repeating baseless talking points.

  3.  @TheRealLesterGreen  Private property is literally exploitation. Private property was created by government to reward those loyal to them and to spread their influence. It was used literally for the purpose of forcing indigenous people into servitude for these empires and private property owners. All land that is considered private property was originally taken by force to make it private property. Saying landlords arent exploiting people is completely contradictory to the reason for the creation of private property, and that's exploitation.

  9. ​@MasterDebater_Yoda How many of those jobs were well paying with fu? How many of these "new" jobs were just jobs returning from the pandemic? As for unemployment, when Biden took over, we were in a pandemic, and then millions were thrown off unemployment while still in a pandemic. How was that helpful? And how much is his economic plans actually helping those in poverty? You seem to be bragging about nothing. Most jobs "created" were just jobs coming back. And many of the new ones pay like absolute trash with no benefits. Throwing people off unemployment during a pandemic to make the capitalists happy also isn't a good thing. I'm not going to go though everything you said, but I do want to remind you that child poverty went right back up when we ended the tax credit. Good job repeating talking points without ever looking into the effects of them. And you should probably look into all the protections the EPA is dropping while under Biden. And oh boy, can't forget about the record number of oil drilling permits given out, almost as if it dwarfs the small amount being invested in green energy.

  10.  @shawndevoid9813  What's been going on since ancient Rome. What's everywhere and in every type of governance? And if you believe greed is limitless, then would it also be safe to assume that all aspect of human nature are limitless? Like empathy and compassion? For real change to happen a revolution of some sorts must also happen, and we have been doing those for tens of thousands of years.

  12.  @avipharmd7646  Sounds like you will have to sell that extra property you don't even live on and whoever buys it can actually live there. You made the choice to become an investor. You don't always gain, however when you factor in the actual gains, even at 3% rent increase, those gains in property value more than make up for it, and its equity you aren't even paying for since the tenets are the ones giving you enough money to cover the mortgage and more, and when we go back far enough in sales of the property you own, we will always find that the property was originally stollen from others. The sense of entitlement you wannabe feudal lords is absolutey insane.
    4
  13.  @toycarpgmr  Yeah, and something tells me that you understand that even though the costs now exceed rent (I highly doubt this) the gains you have been making in the value of the home more than make up for it, especially since the tenet is the one actually paying your mortgage and building your equity. Yall Feudal lords are funny

  14.  @maxwellblackwell5045  "why don't we give it back to the people the Apache took it from?" If you are going to make this statement, you must be able to name who lived there before the Apache, right? SO, who was there before the Apaches? But good job on saying something incredibly stupid to distract people that the white Europeans committed the worst genocide in history to steal the natives land, a genocide that is still ongoing.

  17.  @erkinalp  So you are capable of living in 3 homes simultaneously? Oh, you aren't capable of that since you only have a single body, then why do you need 3 homes?

  18.  @erkinalp  Again, why do you need 3 homes you can't live in at the same exact time. Wh do you believe yourself worth more homes than everyone else. Why do you believe you should hold onto vacant housing while others live on the streets?

  20.  @bmiles4131  Mass strikes and protests actually work pretty well. That and some rioting works. We never would have got the 8 hour work day, or ended child labor if we didnt burn down some factories. You can also engage in mutual aid which removes power from the capitalists. You can also vote with your dollar, which I know isnt actually possible for a lot of people, but for those who actually can, they should. Sending a video to a president who was known as the senator from mbna is really a waste of time. Joe Biden has done more than enough to help facilitate all these monopolies, he isnt about to start changing that.

  24. @carlitosortiz2870  Now go on and tell me the turnout rate for votes, along with the demographics. Hawaii voted to become a state, even though almost no native came out to vote, and it was just the settler colonialists who did. The natives didn't come out to vote because it was never the settler colonialists' land to begin with. The settler colonialists don't want PR to be independent.

  26.  @That1J1  Social equality is not what the liberal ideology wants. Never has. Liberalism, and neoliberalism are all about private property rights and the protection of those private property rights.

  27.  @Pseudify  "Unions held me back. I was a hardworking, award winning employee who could have made more if I was allowed to negotiate my own salary and benefits" No, you would not have been able to negotiate higher wages on your own. You're more than welcome to believe that, but its not a belief that's reflective of reality.

  28.  @deeptoot1453  "That goes completely against most economic theory." Capitalist economic theory is based on myths and lies. "Competition usually leads to better, cheaper rand more innovative solutions" Yet we have ended up with over-production and planned obsolescence. "a.k.a. state owned." There is more than private and state owned. How much economic theory have you studied exactly?

  29. Down with capitalism. There is no such thing as fettered capitalism. There is no such thing as crony capitalism. They are just capitalism. If you come here and say its corporatism, that's just capitalism with a different name. Whatever utopian capitalism, defined by Smith, you think is the real capitalism is not a system that can exist due to the profit motive. Capitalism, in all forms, is the problem. It must be abolished. Reform can never work.

  36. @dragonproductions236  For your first question, because it weakens the collective. You will never be able to negotiate more for yourself than you would if yall collectively negotiated. For the second question, they dont.don't. For the third question, unions have way fewer government protections than corporations. Why do you hate unions so much? Why do you believe you can negotiate better alone? Why do you hate the free market?

  37.  @investmentanalyst779  When people claim someone else is misinformed without pointing out how that person is misinformed, it's very safe to assume the person calling another misinformed had literally no idea what they are talking about and are just trying to feel superior. So go ahead, explain how I'm misinformed here.

  38.  @SgtJoeSmith  Sounds like you have no idea how the world works. If they train non one to do the job, the job cant get done. And if you want to retain employees, you need to pay them better with better benefits instead of trapping them with a contract.

  39. No. They should be paid well from the employer, not the customers. Claiming that servers deserve to be in poverty because they don't give the service you want is barbaric as fuck

  40.  @ohiasdxfcghbljokasdjhnfvaw4ehr  It has nothing to do with it being "unregulated". Capitalists work tirelessly to unregulated any regulation we put in place. Capitalism is the problem because it places profit above all else. Capitalists have caused more genocides than any other, all because it leads to greater profits. As for democracy, what USA has is a piss poor example of democracy.

  43. Very weird to bring on an investment firm on this channel. Like this company profits off dollar general and they will never want working condition to be very good because that will hurt profits to much. Ir would be far bettter to remove the need for super cheap places instead of marginally improving worker conditions, and that assumes something happens after the audit which isnt guaranteed. No but seriously, gross to bring profiteers off exploitation and the very reason we need unions.
