  • The list of us interventions ending in the installation of a dictator is has more entries than the total number of countries on the planet. It cannot be overstated how many dictators the US has directly, explicitly supported and installed.

    Hell we usually end up fighting them, because they stop paying whatever we charged for installing them.

  • Outside the .world subs, sure. But .world subs during election time banned hundreds, if not thousands of accounts for daring to question why a far right cop is taking over for a far right senile racist in the party that is mostly supposed to represent anti cop and anti racist vaguely left wing sentiment.

    If you weren't on the blue no matter who train, you were a Russian CCP maga troll farm bot clearly paid to ruin the US.

  • You're partially right, dengism has caused the single largest improvement to the quality of life for its adherents in history compared to all other economic ideologies, and part of dengism is capitalism exclusively for luxury items. But all other forms of capitalism have objectively failed society. Capitalism itself is the evil factor, it is a poison.

    Poisons can be used as medicine when you're sick, but taking that moderate amount of poison too long will kill you the same as an acute dose.

    You cannot easily fight back against those with capital, so the accumulation of capital will always result in the accumulation of power. There is not amount of guardrails that help forever. The goal must always be to eliminate capitalism and the private ownership of capital entirely.

  • That has failed everywhere it's been tried. Capitalists will never intentionally make less money. They don't have souls.

    They will always just build cheaply built 'luxury' apartments/condos destined to be demolished in 20 years so another developer can do the same thing.

  • You quite literally don't need that, you just need both large options to fail obviously, as they are. People will seek out alternatives and there will be enough that aren't disillusioned with electoralism that go for that option.

    You cant organize on a large scale in the US, you get assassinated if you survive the character assassination.

    For example, I bet you still think stein is a Russian spy or spoiler candidate.

  • Hard disagree, as again, the republican party exists. It was a third party.

    Practically no one votes strategically. The vast majority of voters vote the same as their parents and/or peers. The extreme minority of voters that care about issues vote for whatever party of the two that suits them best at the time.

    But bigger than all these groups are the eligible voters that think nothing will change because people like you tell them they only have two options, so they don't vote.

    Because neither option is good. There is Nazi, and there is the group that appoints nazis. Both exist solely for their own power and wealth. Neither help people until the riots get too violent. So why vote. Why care?

    So either we introduce a third party or more, and maybe give some hope, or we let the uniparty continue to win and we all have to survive a balkanized US when it collapses.

  • Not really, they can be super simple if your goal isn't world domination through capital, genocide, and slavery.

    Fascist countries like the US need forever enemies to exist. For a while it was native Americans, then black people, but when those toys were mostly taken away, then it was anyone that dared to question the role of capital in government, then terrorists, now it's china.

    The problem being china has more capital than the US, and is capital owners spent the last century using china to extract the absolute most amount of wealth from Americans. So companies stopped the US from really treating china like a proper forever enemy.

    In other words capitalism ruins everything, even fascism which is based on capitalism.

  • He wanted money and the adoration of old white people more than improving anyone's life.

    I usually support people's fetishes but I do think he took his a bit too far. Raceplay should end when it starts affecting literal Congress.

  • I'm doing the opposite. The fascist us has always excluded voters and its vote collecting and counting system is inherently insecure. Hell poll intimidation has been such a huge issue historically there are laws against it that are plainly ignored in red states.

    The US, by no possible definition, does not have free nor fair elections. It has always been the worst implementation of democracy, oligarchy.

  • Exactly the opposite of reality. FPTP does not preclude third parties from winning, hence the existence of the republican party. It does mean you have to vote your principles and not strategically vote. If everyone voted for the party that most closely aligned with their principles, neither the Dems or repubs would ever wing the presidency and would never hold a majority in any Congress at any level.
