And the same people that own the media also own and operate the state.

I'm so glad this stuff is starting to finally bubble to the top of the public consciousness.

Now, everybody read Marx.

Hey now. They don't own and operate the state. They simply receive large low-interest loans to trade parcels of real estate that happen to account for the overwhelming bulk of developed property in the country. It's you, the people, who are afforded the opportunity to meet and choose between the California Criminal Prosecutor and the New York Land Baron.

Just look out! One of them is a soulless fascist who will invoke the powers of the state to terrorize migrants, minorities, and labor activists. Meanwhile, the other is a goofy dimwit who will be too hobbled by bureaucracy to effectively delivery any of their campaign promises.

Find out which one during our Full Team Electoral Spectacle News Coverage! And remember, if the wrong person wins, you know know exactly who to blame. <JillStein.jpg>

Nice try. But I have it on good authority that learning to read makes you a Communist, so I dodged that bullet early on.
