People can demand it, but that isn't how we could ever get it. The privatized healthcare system makes too much money and the left in the US Empire is only recently beginning to recover from the Red Scare and systematic dismantling by the state in the 20th century.
~~Now that the Red Scare is largely over, the United States is being dismantled by a compromised president controlled by Russia in the 21st century.~~
~~Born too early to see the US being dismantled by Russia, born too late to see the US being dismantled by Russia, born just in time to see the US being dismantled by Russia.~~
I am ignorant of modern geopolitics. Have no pity for me. I will go learn.
This isn't true, though. Trump just isn't quite as hawkish on Russia as many liberals would like, but if he was actually compromised he would be lifting sanctions and wouldn't be attacking Russian allies like Iran and Venezuela.
It never ended and won’t be over until capitalism is dead. What do you think the bullshit about a “Uyghur genocide” was for?
House votes to denounce ‘horrors’ of socialism ahead of Mamdani-Trump meeting
I can see that I’m not as well-read on the state of affairs as everyone else, and also I just noticed that I’m on .ml.
My apologies. I’ll remove myself from this instance until I am less ignorant about the world I live in.
You should stay on this instance to learn. Lots of learning material.
I’m still here, just not participating.
I'm really glad. Feel free to ask questions, a lot of really knowledgeable people are willing to point you in the right direction.
I am a leftist in thought, inspiration, and action, and my short term goals include the woodchipping of the entire Heritage Foundation, bunch of absolute ghouls they are;
but I have recently been humbled and realized I know *jack shit* about geopolitics and international history. That’s what I’m reading. Books, theory, education.
