    Ending capitalism would be lovely. But let me know how we’re supposed to achieve that in the context of US imperialism, tech companies and billionaires hoarding wealth, and the average person gradually losing their voices.

    It seems to me that nearly every system in place is there specifically to perpetuate capitalism.

    Trump viscerally hates the average American so it seems very clear this movement can’t and won’t begin in the US. He doesn’t want his voters to prosper. And, further to that, Trump has an army of sycophants foaming at the mouth to take over if he dies or god-willing just goes away.

    We’re clearly on the same side here in most respects.

        I like you, as it turns out. You’re espousing much of how I feel in a more coherent manner than I can muster. I appreciate the optimism too. I will say I’m closer to a pessimist but I recognize in no uncertain terms that socialism is how we can fix this. I sure hope we can someday.

        Thanks for chatting.
