I wonder why she didn't put her socialist convictions into practice, and allow the newsletter to be run by its workers?
I think they call this irony. The letter this slimy Kaufman woman was trying to get everyone to sign? WalMart would be like "Dam - why didn't we think of that?"
well you know what they say socialism isnt for the socialist to practice its to be forced onto the unclean masses
just look at prominent socialist's we have in power here in the US Sanders, de Blasio to name two when have they ever individually practiced socialism
It is a wonder how socialist get so rich. If you claim to be a socialist and you are wealthy, you are a corrupt hack.
If your socialist run agricultural "land experiment" doesn't produce crop yields at socialist prescribed levels they won't make you feel pain or deprive you of anything; they'll just tell you to please, please, please try harder on the next agricultural centralized plan.
Under capitalism sometimes you get lines for toilet paper. Under socialism sometimes you get toilet paper.
Is that why US farmers are destroying food in the fields because capitalism works so well? Is that why there are mile long lines at food banks in the US?
Farmers have to destroy their crop assets and take the loss, maybe lose the farm, because of lockdown. Thankfully lockdown is being lifted or there would be mass starvation across the USA under lockdown.
Yes, that is true, there is very little capitalism left in the US the Corporations have taken over since politicians allow monopolies to exist.
Threads like this illustrate why Chinese communist and American Democrats get along so well. It's like they are on the same team.
Farmers have been taking a loss for three years with Trump and it has cost the taxpayer around 40 trillion dollars in subsidies...
The last thing an American Democrat would do is start a trade war with the Chinese Democrats in China. Unfair trade deals is just another way Democrats plan to manage America's decline into a new normal.
Well let's close the farms. Socialists are funny. The first thing they do under a socialist government is starve. Wonder how that happens.
