Avoiding giving the government money: Classy if you're rich but trashy if you're poor.
Recalling that time Adam retweeted @Eugene_V_Dabs's based toll jumping video.
God that one was such a classic :marx-ok:
"If you're taking the subway, obviously * :bootlicker: * you should pay the toll"
But have you considered that in different places good things can't work for no reason? smh the looney left
the reasons fascists usually give involve too many of the wrong kind of people living here
That isn't a real reason though.
For universal healthcare I also see that the US is too spread out, which I guess could apply to public transport too.
I have that now where I live. We call it the Tempe Orbit.
The difference is that public transit IS tax supported
Unlike the agriculture industry?
My brain loves to play a game called, "how much power level is Adam Johnson hiding?"
The results vacillate widely.
Citations Needed, Ep #2 who's hiding anything? Dude clearly wants Xi to release the nukes as badly as anybody else here.
Sure but they talk suspiciously often in the vein of "push the Dems left" style discourse, basically treating a capitalist party as a legit way forward. Is it a way to appeal to libs and pipeline them (clearly their main target audience) or do they legit think that we just need to tax the rich more?
I can only speculate, maybe they see courting liberals in that way as their role in doing political work? However, there is no group of people in America who are willing to give the DPRK any semblance of legitimacy and dignity other than Marxist-Leninists.
Hmm I retired to think of verified non-MLs that defend North Korea and came up empty, lol. You might be on to something.
Honestly I’m impressed at how long he and Nima have been able to hide their ideologies
They've self identified as leftists and that's as specific as they've gotten afaik.
how else do I know if I should like them or not? their words and actions? pfft
I am pretty sure the chud is making fun of it. They will absolutely brag about buying groceries.
Worried that people will sell groceries they don't need?
Obvious bullshit aside, who would do they think would buy scalped groceries if you made them free for everyone?
:thonk:
Eh. I think free subways are a good idea, but I don’t think removing prices from food is a good idea. One is durable infrastructure, the other is a commodity that gets consumed. Some foods require more resources to make & transport than others (e.g. fancy foreign cheese vs regular cheese, lentil pasta vs plain lentils) and there should be a price system to reflect that.
Better idea is universal food stipend.
We need to be working on that but society isn't advanced enough quite yet at this point
Removing all profit motive from food production and the sale of raw foods would fundamentally alter the way we distribute food and probably conserve millions of tons of it annually, as there's no motive to hold onto older foods for sale and they'd get to places where they'd be consumed quicker instead of going into the trash.
Depends on if we're talking about the near future or full communism.
I’m actually with you. I think food is one of the few places where markets to dictate prices are a good idea, with serious stipulations like a universal food stipend, a ceiling on prices of staples, etc.
But at the end of the day everyone can’t eat as much of the highest quality foods they want all the time, society and the planet can’t produce enough for that.
Assuming everyone has enough to eat, and no one is being abused, some sort of market system to dictate the prices of preferred food items and indicate what food we should produce more of is not a bad idea
