Why do I never hear about nationalizing banks or creating more business subsidies?

submitted by Canbot from (self.LateStageCapitalism)

More than ever I hear about welfare programs, and every where I turn there is a Socialist/Marxist/NewBuzzword advocate. All pretending to be "the people rising up". But they don't challenge the true powers that be (bankers). It all smells of the elite creating controlled opposition to vacuum up all the disgruntled kids and leading them where they want.

Antifa are out there in the streets organizing the destruction of retail stores and blocking soccer moms from getting home. Meanwhile not a single bank has been burned.

The media, controlled by the elite, have nothing but nice things to say about Antifa.

They all want the government to levy more taxes that only the middle class pay, and hand all that money to the most expensive medical industry in the world, who charge Americans 100x more for pills and procedures than they do in other countries. Yet they don't organize to allow importation of drugs, force government funded research to be public, make prices transparent, or anything that would only cost billion-dollar-a-year companies any money.

What happened to occupy wallstreet? What happened to asking where the trillions in bailouts went?

Why has everything been reduced to instituting a welfare state that makes everyone a slave to the state? Disobey and you don't eat. Disobey and you lose your government provided house. Everyone goes to public school and gets the same indoctrination. Oh, but we don't say everything is government owned, we say it's owned by the people and that makes it good.

Can’t find the tweet but it said “when your revolution is televised, that’s your first clue”

Monetary policy is like nutrition, for a lot of people "that's a huge whatever from me dawg".

Socialism and Capitalism are two sides of the same coin. It doesn't matter if businesses control the government or if the government controls businesses if they're both controlled by the same people.

Multi-national corporations and the billionaire elite are funding Antifa and BLM Revolutionaries with money they get from Communist China. Then these "protesters" go around burning down small, local businesses and attacking working people!

Chinese-backed, far-left politicians have seized upon the high offices of our nation — Mayors and Governors have been infected by the red plague! And the rest have all been bought by the same Corporations that fund far-left terrorism!

Chinese companies and investors own the apps, games, and websites our children use — TikTok, Reddit, Discord, SnapChat, FortNite, League of Legends, Valorant, Legendary Entertainment Group. These are all vectors of the plague, infecting our youth!

It's time for a political purge — it's time we drove the filth from our country. Far-left rioters must be charged with treason. Corrupt politicians working for China or the billionaire elite must be charged with treason. The billionaires sponsoring terrorism must be charged with treason. Chinese-owned apps must be banned. Chinese-owned companies and shares must be seized. Corporations that support terrorism and the Chinese Communist Party must be broken up or nationalized.

But don't expect the Federal government to do any of this — no, they're owned by the Capitalist-Communist elite. In order to take back our country we must remove from power everyone on the payroll of China or the billionaire elite through free and fair elections — though the fight for free and fair elections won't come easy.

Capitalism allows everyone the right to create their own business. So your claim that under capitalism the elite own all business is simply wrong. Big business can manipulate the government, but that is illegal. The solution is not to change the form of government but to stop the corruption.

The elite don't own all the businesses, I never said that. If I did I wouldn't have said this:

Then these "protesters" go around burning down small, local businesses and attacking working people!

This directly says that there are "small, local businesses" which aren't owned by the billionaire elite.

You have misquoted me, thus I shall cease further replies in accordance with the Pyramid of Debate.
