@rocknroll1959film The danger doesn't come from nut cases waving confederate flags but Big Tech who wants thought control. Liberals are known for passing laws against NAZI's and then truning them agaonst the working class. Those who have confidence in their ideas have no fear of free speech or debate. Don't forget these people think that they just need to buy everything. People aren't buying the nonsense of Rubin anyway.

Does anyone else find it ironic that those at the Center of the once might British Empire appear to be complaining about the colonization of Brittan.

@prayunceasingly2029 I'm 68 and I have about zero to show for it. I owe more money than my auto and trailer are worth. People actually own their home in Cuba or pay a rent of 10% income they don't forcelose, repo or evict you. You haven't lost enough wealth yet. Go buy a home and car see if you can hold on to it for more than ten years.

@bertkilborne6464 Free speech because those who have confidence in their ideas don't need censorship. No to BIG TECH censorship. Workers control of industry.

@craigscott2315 We live in a capitalist market based dictatorship. As long as we don't come together and organize they will just dictate everything to us. When to come to work. When to go home. How much we get paid. What the price we will pay. That's what the mean by a free market. Freedom for them and debt slavery for us. We need to a new union movement and a new party without the rich donors a Labor party.

@ghrohrs2025 Unionize the "woke" with workers control of industry.

@rocknroll1959film FDR had the Smith "gag" Act passed against NAZI's . The first victims in 1941 were the 18 members and leaders of the Socialist Workers Party and Minneapolis Teamsters local 544. The American Communist Party applauded Roosevelt. As soon as WW2 was over and the alliance between Stalin and the Democratic Imperialist US/UK finished the Truman/McCarthy witch hunt began. The Smith "gag" Act was a key tool. Beware of liberals bringing gifts.

@rocknroll1959film Sorry I don't fit your "Progressive Agenda" of learning good manners for the intellectual elite.

@prayunceasingly2029 Ya your a shareholder until you own a company like GamePro with a hedge fund doing an unknown short against you. See how they cried when a few guys ganged up against them. They won't make that mistake again but you the small guy are just tomorrow's lunch. When I was a kid they paid 5% at the savings bank. Now they pay 0.05% that's right two decimal points to the right better and it was government guaranteed up to $25,000 when $2,000 bought a new car. Gold sold for $35 an ounce not $1800.

@bobinthewest8559 I think we have a different definition or understanding of what capitalism is. If Nixon didn't end the gold standard then he would have had to sell gold to France for US dollars. Another thing is the introduction of the credit card expanding the availability to use credit beginning in the 1970's. Why is modern America capitalist? It has a small class of capitalist owners who exercise power through "institutions" like government, industry, the two parties and universities. The dominant ideology is one of support for capitalism even if it is renamed "Democratic Socialism". Is the state under control of one class or above classes? Can the workers use the capitalist state or do they need to create their own state? Can there be a peaceful transfer of power from the capitalist government to a socialist government. That very question was argued in front of a Federal Judge in Socialist Workers Party v. Attorney General. People who have confidence in their ideas will have no problem with free speech and open debate. Do you think rebuilding the union movement, workers control of industry and a labor party are extreme radical policy? The important thing in China isn't what's still state owned but the creation of a huge new industrial working class out of poor peasant farmers.

@feldweible Both Parties cheat and the biggest victims are the voters, independents and third parties. The Demopublican's usually give themselves automatic ballot status.

Chris King Fight back against BIG TECH censorship tell them this isn't Hitler's Germany or Stalin's Soviet Union. What do they have to fear from the free exchange of ideas and the truth.

@kaitlynkarol4600 Jobs for all who want to work. Workers control of industry. No to layoffs. Rebuild the union movement.

Brittan's wealth was built on the exploitation of the working class and sales of overproduction to its colonies. Britain had to battle other to become king of the heap before world war one when British policy was to contain a rising German Imperialism. After two world wars Britain and German became vassals of the American investors Empire.

Except it doesn't just keep getting better and better but is interrupted by reversals. The business cycle and the world wars. It is Marx who put economy and human history on a materialist scientific basis. It is his analysis that reveals the origins of the reversals. The direction that capitalist development takes and why it will come to an end. Had Britain NOT experienced a banking crisis would it have gone to war with Germany and how wise was it to impose the Treaty of Versailles upon Germany?

@veganath Workers control of industry.

@cjay2 The bosse do care about compantacy they want order takers not thinkers. We live in a dictatorship of capital. They want to tell how to do everything how to act how much you they will pay and how much they will charge. Where profits and shareholder value always comes first. You want a raise sorry maybe next quarter. You don't own your car or home your a slave to a bank.

@bobinthewest8559 I had everything that should have put me into the meritocracy of America right up to a scholarship for MIT. All those countries you mock developed to be economic powerhouses to challenge the United States. Do you hear anyone making a big deal about India today? But China is the number 2 economy in the world today. India with an extra 40 years of capitalism is still behind China in every metric. Sure America has the most Billionaires in the world. Wages followed productivity from 1945 to 1973 since then wages have stagnated. CEO pay has gone through the roof. Has Wall Street changed since 2008? Nope their still gambling as can be seen with hedge funds betting against "GameStop" by "shorting" their stock. So much for the Mr. nice guy investors just wanting to help each other make a buck and not engage in highway robbery of each other. Who do you think pays when they push a GameStop into bankruptcy? The stockowners lose their money to other stockholder but the workers who put their time and effort in they get a trip to the unemployment line.

@bobinthewest8559 You see the US lost the cold war because it never turned hot. Unlike the end of WW2 the US can't float Marshall Plan loans. World capitalism has instead run itself headlong into a crisis is can't escape. They are at a complete loss as to what to do. They have lowered central bank interest rates to almost zero or negative hoping free money given to themselves will get the world economy rolling again. Obviously the shipping and tourist bosses don't see shipping or cruse lines as coming back anytime soon or they wouldn't be selling ships for scape to build bridges in China. Economist are wondering why we don't have hyperinflation yet since 4 dollars for every 10 already out there were added in the last year.
