I don’t know anything about Dune, does it have Magic (the Force)?
Three letter agencies are not elected and tyrannical by default.
Then why would they sponsor a terrorist attack against the US?
If that’s true why haven’t we invaded Saudi Arabia? Or put sanctions on them or something.
I agree. Businesses and owners have too much influence. I want more unions, trust-busting, and consumer protections. Workers seem to be organizing more at least, which is a good start.
I think human nature is inherently greedy and selfish, and capitalism is best equipped to use this in a way that benefits society. Workers are motivated to work harder and learn new skills to find the most rewarding job they can. Businesses are motivated to create products and run as efficiently as possible. Consumers are motivated to get as much value as the can out of their money. Everyone in the equation is acting selfishly and in their own self-interest (which I believe humans are inclined to do anyway) but when applied on a societal level, everyone benefits. However I will concede that this is a balancing act that requires some level of government regulation to maintain.
On the other hand, I think communism only works when everyone acts altruistically. Which is noble, but unrealistic.
I think capitalism is good, but not perfect. Communism is bad.
Do you have a real-world example of a successful communist state? Because you may not like it, but those “communist” countries are humanities best attempts at enacting communism and they resulted in millions of people dying.
You can’t do that forever though. Eventually you’ll run out of credit and have to pay for it yourself. And by that point you’re probably getting crushed by the debt from a maxed out card, that you’d have been better off not using in the first place.
Are you saying you need credit to live? Because that’s not true. Lot’s of people live that way, but it’s not necessary.
You don’t have to use credit, taxes are taken from you by force. Not comparable imo.
So the tens of millions of people that died under communism were all landlords? Wow, what are the chances of that
Doesn’t it have bipartisan support?
I’m not voting for either. They both suck
B, but no crying
Have you tried turning it off and back on?
I’m voting third party, I dislike them both. But don’t worry, I live in a blue state so it doesn’t really matter anyway.
Aren’t most bees female though?
