Corn

So turns out the tires were just a bit low, it falls into turns with very little effort now.

I was, and people from his state saying he is a piece of shit, but probably better than the alternatives in the primary.

There were a bunch of signals, like him setting his pfp to hammer and sickle that let us delude ourselves into believing he wasn't the same guy who chased down 2 black people with a shotgun because he thought they must be trying to rob houses and that his support of Israel even when AIPAC was funding his opponents in the primary was just because he didn't really know anything and we could push him left.

There's tons of Nepalese too, some with 10 year old children who have lived in Japan their entire lives, having visas denied due to new capital minimums for business visas.

Fetterman was always a racist, zionist piece of shit, we just didn't want to see it.

Fascists will never vote for fascist-lite when the real thing is available.

Triangulation doesn't work. There's a reason the republicans never try to triangulate themselves to be 1% to the right of the democratic candidate, it's because it's always been bullshit and just a pretense for democratic politicians to support policies that are bad for their voters and good for their donors.

Correct, literally the more power capital has, the less power the people have. This isn't just power within the government, since any power the capitalists are allowed to exercise is an extension of the government enabling it.

China does get some utility from the capitalist class; their national bourgeoisie, who can be controlled somewhat, has helped develop the means of production without totally selling out to foreign bourgeoisie, who can't be controlled at all. One of the stars on the Chinese flag is for the national bourgeoisie.

It remains to be seen whether they were right or this turns out to be some class collaborationist horseshit.

Do you think telling the overwhelming majority of people who might vote for you to go fuck themselves is a winning strategy?

nobody was cleaning up their trash and locking it up to keep bears out.

There was a woman who ran a donut shop and would leave all the leftovers out for the bears. The town couldn't do anything to infringe on her freedom to feed wild bears in town.

Honestly I think it is inaccurate to even call it a people's democratic dictatorship; the influence of capital isn't zero. It's less than other countries, but for example, Cuba is a much better example of a place where the people have dictatorial control over policy.

it’s now looting the environment

It's much better today than it was even 20 years ago. There is still significant work to be done and remediation of places that have elevated cancer rates due to lack of regulation enforcement will take a lifetime, but you're talking about the wrong China.

minorities in its own borders

This is a fabrication. Minorities have special protections and autonomy. It is exploiting its own people though, while there has been significant reductions in extreme poverty, they aren't doing nearly enough here. [random Chinese people I talk to in China and border countries]

Land is taken by the state to build mines. Little regard for the people or the environment.

Is Germany a dictatorship?

Compare: 2 war criminals each responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, the immiseration of entire countries, and millions of Americans descending into poverty and homelessness.

Contrast: Obama is probably not a pedophile, whereas Trump was Epstein's best friend.
