In case it is not clear what is at stake in the upcoming US elections, it is necessary to remind ourselves of this:
VP Kamala Harris touts EQUITY: "Everybody should end up in the same place"As much as she would deny being a communist if asked explicitly, she cannot hide it. She clearly says that everyone should not only start from the same place, which is impossible, but end up in the same place. And who would guarantee that? She does, a communist politician, who promises to achieve this through state planning.
Whenever this ideology has been tried to be implemented, it has always ended in the same way: genocides that make Hitler look like an amateur, political repression, massive population, exoduses, famines, etc. There is not a single time that such a political system has been tried and has not ended in atrocious dictatorships and genocide. And at the same time, the more people have killed that system and the more it has failed, the more popular it is with university professors and posh billionaires.
No Mrs. Harris, do not deceive people. In the civilised world we should be equal in rights and opportunities but neither equal in birth nor of course equal in results thanks to a politician, because in the same way that there are working people there are lazy people, also there are people who invest what they earn and there are people who spend it on whores and cocaine, so no, do not come here with a story of Alice in Wonderland to promise the impossible, as Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro and Maduro among others did.
We have an election discussion thread but I didn't want this to be buried on a secondary page because this is the main issue at stake in this election: free world vs. price controls, censorship, impoverishment of the population caused by the policies taken and blaming it on capitalism, repression of individual freedom and so on and so forth.
Dedicated to my lefty friends suchmoon, paxmao and the rest.
