  2.  @nicoled3562  We understand how your basic economy works. The rich get rich at the expense of the working class and poor. Its capitalism that creates the homeless and big mansions in New Jersey and Connecticut.

  3. @Danny Deal Obviously your the one who is Brain dead. The government has decided to have a lockout and re introduce slave labor. That's how capitalism works. Mean while the rich still have their maids, door men, drivers, pool boys, nannies, cooks and personal assistant. Its impossible for them to even put on a bathrobe without help.

  8. @Fats Hernandez I don't believe in throwing workers out of their jobs while Wall Street gets golden parachutes and bonus. I don't hire people because I'm not from HR. I'm not the one who believes that man is a little animal you feed grass and then use a carrot and a stick to get work done. That's all the true thinking of all capitalists. Their laziness is seen in the fact that they need to hire maids, pool boys, gardeners, butlers, drivers, nannies and doormen.

  9. @Fats Hernandez Your a small businessman who thinks he needs to get ahead. You can't afford to hire the maid and pool boy today but you do like keeping up with the Jones tomorrow you will be hiring maids as part of getting ahead. Hillary Clinton is your candidate because she understands your need to get ahead. Somehow you need to explain how American with its 'true capitalist freedom' has been caging people into the largest GULAG system in the world today. Trump has just proposed building more cages for immigrants seeking asylum. Growing a business? At who's expense? That's why small business jumps right on board the drive to hold down wages so that they can 'grow'. Why not call it was it is? Plans to take more market share and or get bigger profits come hell or high water. Capitalism has to make an attempt to control greed otherwise it could not justify its existence. Capitalism functions best when capitalist make more profits for the capitalists. "I don't believe in throwing workers out while wall street cuts itself billion dollar bonuses and runs our government/military and media without our consent.." That's real liberal of you but ALL capitalists profit from unemployment, war and low wages. We aren't a party of ultra rich communists and we intend to keep it that way. You can't buy your way into our party and you never will. Go start a party for ultra rich communists and then you can be the head of that party.

  10.  White Liberals Are Racist  We will abolish private property not divide up the loot form business. No one was told they could be an administrator after the victory in Cuba. They were told they couldn't use their position to exploit others. It is a different social system not a bigger welfare state. Liberal aren't socialist or communists their just another version of conservatives like you. Following in the shoes of Ralph Bunche not Malcolm X.

  11.  @Oppaisenpai97  American citizens are required to pay taxes where ever they live and where ever they make their income. So that's an invalid argument. Tax evasion is already a crime.
    1
  12.  @Oppaisenpai97  What if we change what? Overall we will support anything the workers want to do that will move us forward and together in the struggle for socialism. We don't know in advance exactly how that will come about. We know that that there is enough wealth in the US to do what revolutionary Cuba has already done in creating a healthcare and educational system and more because this is an advanced capitalist country and not a small island facing a third party economic blockade.

  13.  @Oppaisenpai97  What country is that? In the US most people commit three felonies a day as argued by a lawyer in a book with that title. So the idea that someone could escape US taxes by changing citizenship still would require them to move their finances off shore. That would be nothing more than a technical problem considering the power of the New York banks in world finance. US companies and individuals already do that anyhow. They get away with it because its like asking a wolf pack leader to punish a youngster for eating a lamb.

  14. @T Mac "The Trump administration’s attempt to force out the president of Venezuela marked the opening of a new strategy to exert greater U.S. influence over Latin America, according to administration officials. In sight isn't just Valenzuela's Maduro but also Cuba .." From the Wall Street Journal. So as you can read straight from the mouthpiece of US Imperialism this is a Trump policy initiative to support US business interests and has nothing to do with Democracy in Venezuelan and obviously everything to do with oil profits. What they'd really like is a Prince Muhammad bin Salom who murders opponents in Embassy's but the Venezuelan masses won't except a Prince as a ruler.

  15. @T Mac "...opportunity to get a good job..." Sure give everyone the 'opportunity' to work for less than the current workers. Build more homeless shelters and soup kitchens for those waiting for "opportunity". Tell the young about the 'opportunity' to get their ass shot off in Iraq for oil company profits. Send the old and disabled to landfills for a opportunity to live by recycling like orphaned children in India. If that isn't enough opportunity tell them about the Bill Gates story or how I took a million dollar trust fund and fought my way to the top.

  16. The central bank and a capitalist government regulating everything are required by modern industrial and finance capitalism. The whole reason for having a central bank was to prevent bank failures during financial panics. It was planned and set up by the representatives of the richest financiers in America.

  20. ​ @LosBlancosInsider  If they had jobs like years ago when you went to the Jobs service they would have someone to help instead of a cop and a social worker behind bullet proof glass. What they do have is can you work for less jobs.

  21. @John Smith If he actually brought back millions of jobs then he would have no problem meeting and glad handing all the newly hired workers like at those six new Steel Mills he boasted about. Companies who say they lack enough trained workers don't really lack workers what they want is more training programs so they can lower the price of labor.
    1
  22. @John Smith He did? I always thought that capitalism runs by the invisible hand? Just where were those six new steel mills built? Connecticut add some more manufacturing jobs. I don't think that they came back from China or Mexico though. The government doesn't allow bids for building Nuclear submarines to be outsourced at least for the time being.

  23. @John Smithd Are you speaking as an aluminum worker or someone who lives in a community where aluminum is made? I can understand how everyone hopes what he says will come true. Have you given much thought to the Canadian workers who will lose their jobs? When I was a steelworker at Beth Steels Sparrows Point plant all we ever herd from the company was how imports were taking our jobs. I didn't stay despite the promises of sub pay and all the pension benefits for 30 and out. The mill was sold to Aceralor Mittal. A Luxembourg company. When it closed even those who only needed weeks for their 30 and out pay were denied. The last I heard the Giant L blast which we knick named the L ayoff Blast was torn down. Amazon has built a gigantic low wage warehouse on the old Sparrows Point Mills site. At one time 50,000 worked at the Point making coke, raw iron, steel, pipes, wires, plates, sheets, rails and building ships. It was the largest private industrial site in the Western hemisphere.

  30.  @declanmoore75  A few weeks ago Congress and Trump were having a lovers spat over building the wall. Trump decided he'd 'shut down the government ' because he wasn't getting his way by refusing to sign for new appropriations while telling 'essential workers like Air Traffic controllers to report to work despite them not being paid.

  32.  @Rattus-Norvegicus  I've always found that crawling around under a car or truck or working in the engine compartment is a good way to get dirty along with opening up a desktop computer power supply. If that's not getting you dirty enough than try crawling around underneath a mobile home.

  34.  @Rattus-Norvegicus  Time for talk is not over. You can not proceed without unity. In the US we can proceed by organizing strikes and protests. The labor movement proceeds in a defensive manner not in an ultra-left or terroristic manner. All legal means of change must be exhausted before one can justify any organized mass violence. As Malcolm X put it it is "...the ballot or the bullet..." If you want to learn about how to make a revolution I suggest TheMilitant.com and Pathfinderpress.com No revolution without revolutionary theory.

  35.  @guilhermefreire8093  The history of the labor movement and capitalism in the US is different than Europe. Unlike most of the European countries we've never had a revolutionary situation that posed the question of power. The Social Democrats, Stalinists and labor officials have never built a mass working class party. Instead they content themselves with supporting the Democratic Party candidates and trying to take over the corrupt Democratic party. Only the Socialist Workers Party consistently runs candidates for President and in other elections while participating in the class struggle and pointing a way forward from the crisis of capitalism.

  36.  @commenterofreason3478  You understanding capitalism is minimal at best. Describing the steps needed to be a successful lemonade stand owner and how workers can quit shows how really shallow your economic thinking is. Sure you can quit for a better paying job but only if one is available and the boss hires you. Not a single gun has been confiscated from anyone in any state. Kavanaugh was never on trial. At worst he faced not being given Congressional approval as a Supreme court justice which would mean he would have to go back to being a lower court Federal Judge. Nick Sandmann was never on trail either. He is suing the Washington Post newspaper. He claims defamation of character. The Post no doubt will cite the First Amendment as a defense. You babbling about what amounts to suffering from "The white mans burden" is just laughable. The problem isn't Muslims it is people like you who think Muslims are the problem. If your such an astute European political analysis then you should understand that Venezuela is just an example of what's headed for the Social Democratic Nordic countries. Plus the Yellow Vests are protesting "Marcon President of the Rich."

  38. @Brandon She won her seat the same way Trump did legally. Unlike Trump she doesn't require about 100 people to go anywhere. Soy milk is why the US lost China and 1/2 of Korea.

  39.  @LingLing-ou6nt  Actually we want control of the whole economy not just a bunch of $100 printing presses which is now under control of the capitalist government. Its the greed of the rich which is why all kinds of stupid things are happening. The rich don't contribute anything positive why should they be allowed to run everything.

  40.  @mgbgt7156  That is basic nonsense which was used as the excuse by both Stalinists and Social Democrats for not building a mass party of the working class but instead joining up with the Democrats like Democratic Socialist AOC and Bernie Sanders have done.

  41.  @bengaryton3288  The Cuban Doctors are making history. Cuba has trained 1,000 of Doctors for the poor all on Cuba's dime. Cuba shows what working people can do when they control the government instead of the capitalists.

  42.  @johncenasdad408  Own and Control do not have the same meaning. The politician's are steeped in capitalist ideology and their loyalty is bought for as long as needed through the two party system. This way the faces may change but the loyalty to the capitalist system stays the same. The unchanging part of government under two party control (deep state) is there to control greed and suppress any protests of capitalist policy.

  43.  @davidboyd3998  You've never be told to come back with insurance though have you? How about the price of a procedure? In almost every other type of business or service you can get a price or a guaranteed estimate of the cost. In almost any type of medical assistance you can't get a price beforehand. It's we will send you a bill or we don't have that information. I asked a Dentist the price for a set of dentures and the response was 2 or 3 thousand dollars.

  46.  @Airportris  What's keeping you from moving into a capitalist paradise like a big Jersey mansion? After all Hillary Clinton know's how you want to get ahead right? Like they say, "It takes a staff to run a mansion." Lets make you King of healthcare and let you decide who lives and dies. Then it would be a matter of only you and all of the kings men (cops and military) getting healthcare. As far as everyone else goes well you can always hire another pool boy. Why waste the Kings gold on commoners who will die anyhow. Sure your for healthcare. In fact you favor free healthcare and insurance plans for those who don't need any healthcare. Just to show what a liberal civic leader you are the United Fund has decided to provide free cremation service for paupers who meet citizenship requirements other wise Mexico will pay.

  48.  @Airportris  Sure I am because like I said earlier you want to play king with other peoples lives because as a defender of the capitalist utopia you believe in perfection, intelligence and infallibility of the capitalist class of wealthy owners. Bill Gates will be releasing another version of windows because of ruling class perfection.

  49.  @Airportris  From 1945 to 1973 productive rose along with wages. Since 1973 productivity has continued to rise while wages have remained flat. Its payback time just in case you don't understand.

  50.  @Airportris  You don't remember all the working people you hurt in the profit drive do you. The plants you closed to reopen in Mexico. The workers who were fired because of your company mismanagement and wall street schemes. The people who lost their homes because of your 2008 crisis. The older workers you fired because you wanted to save on wages. You needed more so you raised CEO pay through the roof. You handed out golden parachutes and bonuses. The workers you told that they didn't need to pay union dues because you would take care of them. The cry that you were going bankrupt and needed a wage freeze and higher insurance premiums. The destruction of all those private pension plans where you promised to pay. You see those yellow vests protests in France? Macron "President of the Rich." They're coming here. " Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country." Trump. That's what you fear. We have already won a series of teacher strikes. No one is believing the lies anymore. No matter who tells them. The Democratic Party is breaking up as workers withdraw from the Party of False Promises. Trump is a ball fumbler and now we are going to take that ball and run it the other way.
