The FDA and Pharmaceutical Companies

Remember when they accused people who smoked weed of supporting terrorism? My my my, how the tables have turned. Because I get my shit from some dude in California, and I’ve never financed anyone in Iraq.

Everything is projection from the capitalist class. They think of the worst things they're doing and use that to paint the "undesirables." Guaranteed that's why do many allegations of pedophilia and drug smuggling have been thrown around in the culture wars recently.

Here is what the news actually said: A disease so old and basic that we barely think about it, even though it affects almost 700,000 Americans a year, is overcoming the last antibiotics now available to treat it. If it gains the ability to evade those drugs, our only options will be desperate searches for others that aren’t approved yet—or a return to a time when untreated gonorrhea caused crippling arthritis, blinded infants as they were born, and made men infertile through testicle damage and women via pelvic inflammatory disease.

Communism is defined as a stateless system.

More things are invented under capitalism than socialism. That is a fact. It's also a fact that capitalism incentivizes a consumption model in which we are forced to regularly buy the newest thing because older stuff breaks or goes obsolete. Capitalists could absolutely make phones or TV's that last forever. But then they wouldn't be able to sell us another one in 2 years because the old one was designed to brick at that point.

Relatedly, regardless of what DPR says about Democrats and their commitment to the environment, capitalism will never solve climate change. Ever. That would be contrary to everything that drives capitalism.

I don't think I've ever met anyone that outright rejects every single aspect of capitalism. As doofy as the guy is, I think it's cool that people like the My Pillow crackhead can turn their life around by providing people with a product they need and like. The problem is the modern corporation as defined by law, and the inevitable consequences of allowing them to run amuck. They've been allowed to accumulate such an absurd amount of power, influence, and resources that even most of the world's governments kneel to them. That shit has to change yesterday.

Another thing to point out here is that capitalism's efficiency is extremely overstated. Roughly half of the jobs currently in existence in the west are little more than busy work bullshit that produces no value. Some of them are underlings for the executives to lord over so they feel like less of a limp dick when the board emasculates them, some of them are just shuffling papers in an office with no real rhyme or reason behind it. Millions of these people are so called "contributing members of society" despite producing nothing of tangible or even theoretical value, and this is only maintained due to monetary policy that could best be summarized as: "We write down numbers and say its real, so it is."

Centrally planned economies have their issues, there's no doubt about that. But let's stop praying to this false God. The waste is everywhere.
