Oh look, Lina Khan bringing the heat again. My god, she's like a bureaucratic superhero. Lemmy loves bagging on capitalism, but capitalism ain't the problem. The problem is our spineless, bought and paid for government. Action like this can turn us around, wrest power away from the monopolists.

Losing her to a Trump administration is yet another horror we may face.

People who vote for Trump like to blame democrats and woke people, but what they really and truly hate is capitalism. They just can't see that what makes them unhappy is the natural effect of a fully capitalistic society.

Well, I suppose you have a genius economic system where the haves don't take advantage of the have nots. Tell us all about it!

(FFS, do they not teach history in schools any more?!)

There are other alternatives to capitalism besides Authoritarian Marxist-Leninist states. An example would be Georgist economic democracy. Some policies in such an economy:

  1. All firms would be legally mandated to protect the inalienable right to worker democracy by structuring as democratic worker coops. There would thus be no haves appropriating 100% of the fruits of the have nots' labor

  2. 100% land tax and carbon tax

  3. PCO for all capital

  4. Guaranteed minimum income
