fort_burp@feddit.nlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Poll: Capitalism is out … and socialism is inEnglish3·19 hours agoIt’s important to remember that the New Deal was a compromise between the Capitalists and the Labor Unions / Communists. There has to be a far left threat to Capital for the status quo to move to the left at all. That has been absent in the USA for decades (like you said, starting around Nixon time) which partially explains how far right the USA has moved with decline in labor’s share of profits, increasing wealth inequality and now all the way to fascist violence.
You will never get a president that just enacts sane social policies without a strong left, and that means organizing and Labor Unions.

Because that’s literally how it works in the USA (see Bernie Sanders caucusing with the Democrats), which is famous for being a strong Democracy. It is also literally how it works in China, which is famous for not being a Democracy at all lol.

It’s like when people say “let’s eliminate a whole swath of the population because they are impure” and “please don’t murder us” are phrases that carry equal weight.

Texas is heavily populated by Mexicans or persons of Mexican descent, many of whom suffer serious cultural discrimination and economic adversity.

It’s much worse than this, the article explains it pretty well. If BBC management decides to inject political spin on the topic of Palestine, why wouldn’t they do it on another topic as well? That is why they lose credibility in some people’s eyes.
lmao cold blooded
Aw man, just when not supporting Capitalism became illegal :/

Capitalism has always needed lots of support from the government in order to work (and I think we hurt Capitalism’s feelings).
