Imperialism is capitalism. Imperialism is the financial exploitation (i.e. resource theft, wealth extraction) of the entire world by a handful of monopolies, not “big country does war and trade deals”. Social Democrats are welfare capitalists. Since capitalism is destroying all of us, welfare capitalists certainly aren’t going to get us out of this mess. They only make capitalism more tolerable for the already oppressed working class so that capitalists, monopolies, and big banks can continue to rake in the dough by exploiting the already impoverished poor.

Why is this getting downvotes? It is the truth!

Fighting the liberals instead of the fascists? That’s like saying you’re choosing to eat an apple instead of a piece of fruit. Apples are fruit, too. Liberals are fascists, too.

Capitalism, severely lowered expectations, mainstream news media controlled by the billionaire class pumping out capitalist propaganda. People continuing to believe the Democratic Party wants to enact universal healthcare when all elected Dems really care about is staying in power, doing the bare minimum, and raking in the cash from their billionaire donors. People continuing to vote for Democrats based on that belief when they could be using their votes to vote in anti-capitalist candidates from the real left (Green Party, PSL, etc).

When Democrats are in charge of all of the levers of power, they say: “Darn there are all these rules we have to follow and the Republicans are obstructing us and won’t budge. Oh well, better luck next time 🤷‍♂️” while behind closed doors they’re listening to the health insurance and pharmaceutical lobbies who offer them money and perks and special treatment and job offers in the industry once they’re out of office.
