Between this, the tarrifs and the brain drain, why would any manufacturers consider operating in the US anymore?

    They'll still want access to Americans coz there are profits to be had, and they can price gouge under a fascist kleptocracy many orders of magnitude harder than elsewhere.

    What they don't understand is that the fascist leadership will backstab many/most of them eventually, especially if they possess any moral fiber whatsoever. Luckily for them, capitalism has already purged corporate leadership of morality and ethics.

    But if we don't have as much money due to increased prices on life essentials and assistance cuts, how are we supposed to buy all these things? Bad logic on their part, if this is their approach.

    There is no bottom. They'll continue crushing the working class all the way to slavery and feudalism.

    Stop expecting logic. MAGA and fascism is a severely psychotic mental illness that is empirically a dead end. A death cult.

    Nah you pretty much established the death cult in 2020. The first hundred days of this in administration you went about doing the most harm to the world that you possibly could in order to save a couple pennies to give back to rich people. The Republican Party is a death cult. Everyone obsessed with some nuanced return to slavery, ending healthcare, and poisoning everything you can. For a smol profitorino

    There's no real push for that to happen. This is about crashing an economy, stealing wealth and creating a a massive almost slave labor class at the bottom.

    Communism is exactly the opposite of that. You're thinking of late stage capitalism.

    Stealing wealth and creating a slave class is what happens in communism. Every. Single. Time.

    Someone needs to learn not to blindly believe Wikipedia.

    Which communist countries/states is this not the case btw?

    Somebody needs to learn not to blindly believe a century of capitalist propaganda. At least Wikipedia cites sources.

    You made the claim. You said every single time. Citation required.

    Which communist countries aren’t like I said? I’m saying they all are. If you disagree, name one that isn’t.

    Which communist countries have an even distribution of wealth and no ruling class?

    If you had ever done a modest amount of the hard, actual, honest work of examining positions other than the standard one issued by your government, you would already be asking better, more interesting questions. You think that's the only one you need to ask, don't you?

    I know you haven't put the work in, because I have. I don't owe you a debate. I doubt you have ever even changed your mind. So why should I give you the fruits of my labor? They wrote books, after all. Have you got the guts to read them?

    Every single time, you claimed. Cite your sources. Do the work or fuck off, lazy-ass.

    My sources are every single time communism has been attempted by a country lol.

    Can you provide an example where it has worked and hasn’t resulted in extreme wealth inequality and a rich ruling class and slave-level working class?

    Not good enough. You haven't even wondered why.

    It’s “not good enough” for someone that wants to pretend communism works, while being unable to give a single example of a country where it has worked lol.

    My evidence of communism ending in extreme wealth inequality and a ruling class is every single time any country has attempted communism. There are zero communist countries that don’t have extreme wealth inequality and a wealthy ruling class. That’s my evidence. You haven’t, and seemingly can’t, provide any contrary evidence.

    Again - which communist countries don’t have extreme wealth inequality and a ruling class?

    It's not good enough to get me interested discussing it further with you. You just keep repeating the same dumb, boring question. You think it's a gotcha, but you haven't thought about it even slightly.

    I keep repeating it because you keep avoiding answering it, because you don’t like the answer.

    Remember the slaves with 12+ public holidays a year, 20+ vacation days, free healthcare, free education, free child care and price controls for rent and food and no billionaires and job security?

    Yea I’ll share some down votes. I was laughing because the president was just threatening an American company yesterday, telling it how to operate. Telling it where to operate. Like isn’t this what they screeched legendary communist Obama would do? We just switched to a centralized planned economy over night. Welcome to USSR2
