    If you’re a student, then your entire life has been shadowed by MAGA, or the feckless Biden administration. No wonder their attitude toward Democracy sucks, and alternatives like Socialism or Communism sound like a more viable system than the broken system they know.

      Uh, yeah. It’s capitalism that sucks. You can still have socialism and communism with democracy. There are several countries in existence now that have those things. No one hates democracy, except the politicians in power who want to keep their power, and be unchecked.

      No one is a fan of authoritarianism. That is what we are currently getting, and we’re getting it under capitalism. Funny, it’s almost like the economic organization is only important to keep those who would cheat it from attaining the power to keep it all for themselves.

      Hmmm.
