I'm predicting that Liberal Caesar will introduce central planning, realizing it's the only way to make the US a world power again. I said "like Stalin" as a joke, but they'll make the US into a State Capitalist mixed economy where the commanding heights are under effective state control in order to reindustrialize.

I can't tell if this is a bit.

The US will absolutely not reindustrialize to any meaningful degree. They are still in the process of stealing the copper wire, and you think they'll aquiesce to state control?

Okay, do you not understand what a "military coup" is?

[–] juniper@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago (2 children)

The fact that you think a military coup is likely AND that it would lead to American Stalinism is absurd. An empty materialist analysis that displays a profound ignorance of American history

Idealist eternalism isn't any better.

Because that is clearly what I am advocating for. Online leftists read charitably challenge (impossible)

You started with the smugness. Don't play the victim over and over when you contribute bad arguments.

Exactly what I mean. The biggest weasels on this site are the ones who complain about "not being red charitably". Maybe don't post like a know-it-all if you want people to take your posts seriously.

Buddy you think I'm a know-it-all while the parent upthread was predicting American Stalinism? I am happy you take my posts seriously, but nobody has so far engaged substantively.
