You are confusing "willingness to embrace" with "forced to at economic and/or literal gunpoint". The contrasts with each example you listed is tainted by the attitudes and behaviors of the rest of the world towards those countries. Things don't happen in a vacuum

And each of those things happen under your free market. If you don't understand that, then you should just admit you don't understand how any of this works, and/or want the corruption and high cost of living to continue

That's exactly what you are, unless you admit your beliefs are actually right wing, especially compared to other western countries? Or no, you think Mamdani wanting rent controls and subsidized grocery stores are "orwellian"

Shut the fuck up centrist, I know why you hate him and it isn't about him being "orwellian"

At least we can agree on that

Ah yes, democratic capitalism. It's working out so splendidly right now isn't it? Let me guess, you don't really mind those unilateral strikes on fishing boats, do you? They're just stupid socialist drug dealers, right?

Holy shit you are pretty stupid and arrogant, never mind. You don't have the intellectual capacity for this conversation. Please stick to being a cheerleader for the "free market" that crashes every 10 years, and has made life all but unaffordable for everyone except the richest in our society.

Ah yes the venezulans long for the great life we have out here, right? They long for large medical bills, insane cost of living, racist and corrupt leaders? Also, what specifically has caused the venezulan gov to fail? You think it has NOTHING to do with sanctions, CIA interference, etc? Come on man

Yeah dude it's totally schitzo to not trust the CIA. I mean, it's not like they've ever lied, decided, manipulated anyone, assassinated elected leaders, instigated coups, etc right? They're so virtuous and righteous

Exactly. He is someone who believes in it, but he's not going to be able to implement a whole hell of a lot, considering how the supposed "allies" of his on the center left are treating him.

Also,thanks for letting me know you willingly digest CIA propaganda. I'm guessing you thought Iraq had WMDs

He's been visiting with black and brown people since the start of his campaign, what the fuck are you talking about?

He is not a communist train wreck, he's a Democratic Socialist.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

There's also the issue of people calling themselves leftists, but their beliefs and values are "I'm ok with the government doing anything if it's a Democrat doing it." They don't actually care about kids in cages, families being ripped apart etc if it's Obama doing it, not trump
