especially not in the same week when Kamala Harris goes on national TV to say she’s a capitalist.
You can rest assured that that is a meticulously prepared statement to curry favor and win elections in specific areas, and nothing to do with her personal ideology or how she will run things as President.
Look, I’m voting for Harris, and even as a leftist I’m half excited by it. But let’s not pretend a mainstream democratic party politician is anything other than a capitalist. She might have good policy ideas, ones that will genuinely help people, but she’s still a capitalist.
I’d love to believe that, but Democrats have ruled as pro-corporate assholes for 40 years now. The last Dem we had with the balls to oppose corporate rule was LBJ.
Agreed.
No f’in way this happens, especially not in the same week when Kamala Harris goes on national TV to say she’s a capitalist.
With that said, I still hope they try. It should be inconvenient at least to run a monopoly.
The best our government can do is make mega corpos pay lawyers … So at least we got some extra jobs out of it 🤡
Since they are creating extra jobs shouldn’t government reward them with state aid for it?!
breaking up giant corps is how you keep capitalism running.

Sure, I’m just saying that her saying that on TV is meaningless.
