    The last sentence came from the definition of communism all be it not the shareholders and board members part, but it sure fit in there like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle. 😁

      It doesn’t fit at all actually. The post is nearly incoherent. You’ve just mixed the two concepts together in a way that demonstrates that you understand neither one.

      If you weren’t the type of poster you are, I would feel bad about pointing out your ignorance…because I believe just about everyone can learn, and throwing out insults doesn’t really do anything to help people inform themselves. But with you I don’t feel particularly bad because in order to be capable of learning about something you have to first understand at some level that you’re ignorant about it.

          Nah, I’m all good. You’re one of the new school of brainwormed weirdos…the Stephen Crowder “debate me” types who want to have bad faith discussions about everything to prove that they’re the alpha or something.

          If you want to get enlightened, go read a book or even a magazine instead of another million social media posts or watching umpteen hours of brain dead YouTubers.

            You feel you know it all but are unable to prove where I’m incorrect with facts and not your opinion in doing so haven’t proven anything.

              WTF are you even trying to prove? That America is somehow not capitalist because corporations exist?

              I mean take a good look in the mirror dude, your clown makeup is starting to streak from all the sobbing.

                No, American is capitalistic and within that system exists things like corporations. Corporations don’t always benefit a capitalist society for instance if a corporation tries to buy output isn’t competition, make it harder for competitors, and manipulate prices to undercut competitors.

                Edit: also corporations being able to lobby against the American voters such how Disney threatened to do in Florida.

                  Lol, is this really your example? Dinsney’s little spat with Ron DeMeatball? No mention Monsanto, or American Dairy, or Facebook, or Exxon, or any number of other companies *successfully * lobbying the government against regulation?

                  I’m not a doctor, but just based on your stance toward Musk and this example I’d diagnose you with neoliberal brain rot. You should get that looked at.

                    First my point was to prove Elon had a point that most, not all, corporations are bad and out to get him. We ended up on different economic systems and their associations to government and business. Finally you proved my point that some corporations are bad, so in my opinion these companies that have it out for Elon, Rumble, and other free speech platforms should be looked at for the real reason for them pulling ads in a colluding manner.
