    Oh look, Lina Khan bringing the heat again. My god, she’s like a bureaucratic superhero. Lemmy loves bagging on capitalism, but capitalism ain’t the problem. The problem is our spineless, bought and paid for government. Action like this can turn us around, wrest power away from the monopolists.

    Losing her to a Trump administration is yet another horror we may face.

      People who vote for Trump like to blame democrats and woke people, but what they really and truly hate is capitalism. They just can’t see that what makes them unhappy is the natural effect of a fully capitalistic society.

        Well, I suppose you have a genius economic system where the haves don’t take advantage of the have nots. Tell us all about it!

        (FFS, do they not teach history in schools any more?!)

        Corruption will exist in every government, regardless of economic system. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

          Try not to fixate on the corruption- that’s essentially a smokescreen; the whole point is that the system itself is designed to concentrate wealth.

          Since we’re bandying about well-trodden quotes, how about this one:

          “A bad system will beat a good person every time.” -E. Deming

      capitalists have paid harris to kick her out if she wins, so lina khan will be gone soon regardless of who wins.
