Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Hey Kobe, what do you call it when the government and Big business team up...

in order to push policies that get rid of competition for the companies and silences critics of the government?

    I call it the consequences of the action of baby boomers. The dominant voting bloc for years that allowed and encouraged things like citizens united, creating an oligarchy.

    Good Christ. Have ever cracked an Econ book not written by Engels or Marx?

    I do have a tangent question. You’re against citizens United, but you didn’t comment on Union political contributions. I assume you have no issue there?


    Also, to answer the original question for you, that is fascism defined. And you voted for it.

    I think elections should be publicly funded with no outside money allowed. Within our current system, I view taking money from unions as a better option.

    JFC. Of course this from a person that believes a guy who thinks he is a women is an actual woman.

    And thanks for admitting (again) that you are a communist.

    But as we know from TKS copy pasta from last week, he has to google shit to have any thoughts to post.

    is a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligarchy

    While wealthy donors, corporations, and special interest groups have long had an outsized influence in elections, that sway has dramatically expanded since the Citizens United decision

    Respectful reminder Bobby, you’re dumb. Just because you can’t figure something out, doesn’t mean it’s hard to figure out.

    Citizens United was the result of the US Constitution and the clearly written first amendment. The only "oligarchy" that wants it illegal to make a movie critical of a Presidential candidate was the democratic party and all four leftards on the US Supreme Court. Other than that, you nailed it. Scratch a leftist, find a fascist.

    To have your panties in a twist about Citizens United while you're completely silent about the influence and power of public employee unions is peak Kobe.
