    APAG, this might be one of the most ignorant threads you’ve ever started. We have the courts that punish companies for doing bad shit. Look at the recent Monsanto RoundUp lawsuit. In your dream of socialism, there is no oversight. The people owning the factories are the same people that are also the rule maker and the judge aka: The Government. No system is perfect, but at least In the free market capitalism, competition helps even the playing field and some government oversight is needed to keep it that way, like breaking up monopolies.

    The only voices in America advocating breaking up monopolies are on the socialist left.

    Then you must really love Trump. But then he’s also a facist. It must really suck being you. Living a life of contradiction.

    Perfect example of a millennial. Not having any idea what he/she wants, but bitching for the entitled sake of it.
    Trump and the conservatve movement writ large is a hollow vessel for the interests of billionaires and mega-corporations.

    I’m not a millenial. I developed these views in the godawful Reagan years, bud.

    And me. Maybe that insane Ducks fan on here who is a QAnon follower now. But his reasons are different.

    You sound poor.

    Y'all missed some good times being all philosophical and shit.




    This. Two tone Rolex, pounds of blow, Flashdance and aerobics outfits, Lambos and Top Gun. If you didn't like the 80's, you lead a sad and pathetic life.
    An overpriced watch and a shitty Tom Cruise movie. You’re easy to please.

    The socialist dream around the world was crushed under the coolness of the 80's in the West

    We buried them. Nice try Nikita

    Reagan won the Cold War by giving a speech being mean to communism is still the funniest right-wing myth in circulation.

    Record low unemployment, longest sustained period of economic growth in our history, rising wages and incomes, recording breaking stock market growth. Yeah, Capitalism sucks.

    I didn’t think the bit was particularly funny, but I love how every critique of concentrated wealth is perceived here as an endorsement of socialism. Capitalism’s greatest intellectual defenders recognized that allowing its excesses to go unchecked would lead to its destruction.

    Being a member of the “owning class” is often a matter of luck. It is often a matter of effort. It is certainly a matter of both luck and effort for a lot of us. Most of us don’t pat ourselves on the back too hard, I hope. Everyone doesn’t have the same advantages we had.
