SJWs are yet another *twisting* of Marxism. Marx & Engels were about class unity for the material betterment of *all* workers, not about dividing the working class into competing demographics based on race, gender, etc., to achieve "reparations" that only help "marginalized" demographics at the expense of the designated "majority" entirely within the context of capitalism. The SJWs, like the BLM sub-group, hi-jacks "Marxism" for exactly the reason I explained before.

The homeless problem would only be resolved if capitalists made a nice home a human right, as something all workers earned automatically by their hard work. But the system makes homes a commodity that you can only have if you can pay for it. It's a for-profit system, and money is only spent if it will make more money by capitalists.

I am against capitalism because of a lot more things than the homeless, as I mentioned before. I don't want to compete with my fellow workers, but cooperate with them. I want full access to the social store in exchange for my hard work, not have to pay for it and be denied it if I lack the money because my capitalist master refuses to pay me enough to live comfortably because he has to make a profit rather than cooperate as part of the global workforce.

I support the Constitution in essence, at least the part containing the Bill of Rights and Article V -- the latter of which is the Amendment Clause that would enable the vast majority of us to vote to move onto a more advanced social system. And to those readers who are clearly reading what I'm saying, that is NOT a system resembling the autocratic Soviet Union!

Pelosi is not a "communist." She is capitalist all the way, bragging during a pandemic that impoverished the workers more than ever and resulted in the greatest amount of wealth being given to the 1% in history about her two $10,000.00 refrigerators where she has every type of ice cream ever made stored up since she couldn't leave the house. Calling Democrats "communists" is ridiculous. And shades of McCarthyism! If you truly value our freedoms, why would Pelosi's father be investigated for ties to *any* political party? Or, anyone else for that matter? All that will do is further prove how thin the line between the U.S. version of capitalism and the former Soviet Union's class-divided system actually are. Using autocracy to combat autocracy (actually, freedom of unpopular choice).

I am ready to move forward from a system that was progressive in a material sense when it was first established, at a time when technology and our productive capacity was much less advanced and when class divisions were thus unavoidable. And I am ready to move into a new and more advanced type of democracy that provides the most fundamental type of freedom -- economic freedom. This is an extension and natural progression of the American experiment and what the Constitution represents, not "turning my back on it" or betraying it. Capitalism was a product of its time that has since become obsolete and thus regressive, much like feudalism had before it. It was not intended to be an eternal system.

Liberal arts professors are not my inspiration these days, as I do not support the post-modern SJW nonsense. These people are empowered by capitalism, which supports their agenda, not in opposition to it. To answer your question as to how I got there: I grew up in this system. I've been involved in business, and remain so. I know how it operates. I see what its results are.

I think, Janine, that we should be working together as members of the working class to emancipate our class from the plutocracy disguised as a democracy and achieve economic freedom and abundance for all that modern technology has provided us.

I agree we should work together. As a member of the working class, you're not my enemy, even if the system forces you to be a competitor. I want to not only save what little liberties our nominal democracy allows, but to expand them into the economic realm.

Her father was investigated for connections to communism because communism is based on lies that are infiltrated. Lies that seduce the undereducated with promises of material equality, and guarantees of income. Calling Democrats "communists" is ridiculous What it delivers is always poverty and death, while a few elites at the top of the system live lives of luxury because they control all the equity.

Anyone who can utter these words “ Calling Democrats "communists" is ridiculous“ in the face of all the open unabashed Build Back Better rhetoric coming out of their mouths as they lock us down over a virus no more deadly than a flu, is stuck in a 1970s worldview. The Democrats have been in bed with the corporate globalists since the Clintons put them there. Do some research the Davos group and the WEF, and check out to 2030 goals of the UN. It’s communism. “You will own nothing and be happy”. Likely because they have mandatory vaxxed you out of your senses. And they will own every last thing- they’ll share it with you if you are an obedient serf. And you get to eat bugs!

You are being led down the garden path. I’ll eat what I earn- thank you very much, and I’ll hand my liberties to no-one ever. They moved all of our jobs overseas in order to get us to this point of desperation and demoralization and to get us to turn our backs on the only country in human history to grant EVERY human no matter their class- SOVEREIGNTY over their government. A miracle in human history. Yes we got infiltrated, compromised and captured by an anti-democratic elite. But We are awake and aware now, and we will right the ship.
