That is far too long to dive into properly as I'm about to crash, but I will say that the baby is the US; you know democracy. At least its supposed to be even though it's an oligarchy at this point, but it can be fixed if we get our shit together. Capitalism is the bathwater, and once again, communism is not the answer either. And if you really want fix these things, it's much better to present it as such and not "the death of America". Union leaders being communist isn't a surprise, and I'm very much pro-union. Hell, one of my favorite folk singers was communist, but he wasn't a tankie, and I doubt those union bosses were, either. They just had faith in an economic system that doesn't work, just like capitalists.
Why isn’t communism the answer? What kind of answer do you have? Anything but agreeing with a “tankie.” I don’t expect you to respond seriously, so you even take yourself seriously?
