    what I’m saying is that the government is in bed with a lot of these companies

    Which you’re trying to say is not capitalism…but that’s capitalism.

    We didn’t switch to socialism or some other economic system because we’ve, in your words, “poorly managed” our economic system. It’s still capitalism we’re running even if it’s in your opinion “poorly managed”.

      Venezuela wasn’t socialist until it became socialist. I’m simply pointing out the country is moving in a bad direction. Before there was a balanced government and capitalist system now it’s less so.

        You’re trying to say that corporations all boycotting a POS social platform’s ad buys at the same time is some form of “corporate communism” but you’re too much of a weasel to say it outright because you know that it’s empty rhetoric akin to something that would dribble out of Boebert’s or MTG’s lips and will be straightforwardly recognized as such by the audience here.

          Thank you, you said it for me “corporate communism”, which in my opinion is the cancer of a functioning capitalist economy.

            Oh go wrench Boebert’s tits or give Matt Gaetz a handy (depending upon sexual preference).

            Corporate communism isn’t a fucking thing.

              lol, good one. But actions speak louder that words and from Disney to Apple, they all have board members and shareholders looking for a collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members cough, cough, communism.

                  The last sentence came from the definition of communism all be it not the shareholders and board members part, but it sure fit in there like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle. 😁

                    It doesn’t fit at all actually. The post is nearly incoherent. You’ve just mixed the two concepts together in a way that demonstrates that you understand neither one.

                    If you weren’t the type of poster you are, I would feel bad about pointing out your ignorance…because I believe just about everyone can learn, and throwing out insults doesn’t really do anything to help people inform themselves. But with you I don’t feel particularly bad because in order to be capable of learning about something you have to first understand at some level that you’re ignorant about it.
