Current Events

Jeff has evolved from conservative 1980 Jeff to 2024 moderate Jeff who supports Marxists, abortion, weed (like Trump), and free trade as opposed to fair trade.
I have said in the past that the US should protect industries that are vital to our national security.
 
A neocon told me Kamala isn’t a marxist. This is a marxist.

Marxism predicts that capitalism is doomed and will be replaced by socialism. Socialism is defined as a political democracy where the people own the means of production and determine how it should be employed. Socialism does not state that all people should be paid the same but should be paid based on the value of their output. Marx did not use the terms socialism and communism consistently do there is a justifiable confusion between the terms. By the way, a true socialist country as defined by Marx has never existed. In addition, the predictions of Marxism have never been realized so it is a failed economic philosophy and system. Marxism really falls apart in the manufacturing of goods with a small labor component.

Kamala is talking about programs to help first time homeowners, first time business owners etc. I perfectly understand that it sounds like gibberish but it is not even close to Marxism as Kamala is working within the structure of capitalism. I don't recall Kamala espousing the nationalization of all industry in the country.

It would really help if people knew what Marxism is before making statements about it on X. Just dumb.

Real wages are a problem as ya boi drove the cost of everything through the roof. Welcome to reality!
No actually it was your boy Trump that fricked up Covid pandemic, remember. Quarantines, plants closed unable to import or transport. Once Covid was defeated during Biden and things came back to normal production, retail, and transport wise things returned to normal. Inflation coming down. Wages increased beyond inflation.

Kamala is talking about equal outcomes. You have to go through a bunch of mental gyrations as you have been for weeks defending your new girl. She was further to the left of Bernie Sanders in 2019. Her dad is a Marxist. She isn’t talking specific programs. “Equity” the crap on the back of every college athlete’s warmups/practice tops for several years is equal outcomes. Communism and equal outcomes are discussed in Acts chapter 5 and the story of Ananias and Sapphira. Greed always ruins utopia. It’s human nature.

You know you have nothing in argument when you get “I wish people wouldn’t get there information from X”. You were clueless thinking Biden would be a moderate and you are a clueless, if you think Harris’ language and intent isn’t Marxist.
 
Way to pick the winners and losers, Obama!
It's not about picking winners and losers. For example, the US needs to develop its own rare material elements industry. It needs to encourage companies to extract and process these materials for the benefit of the US. Despite the name, these materials are fairly common. It is the extraction and processing of these materials thar are complex. Currently, China produces about 90% of these materials. Should not the government encourage the development of this industry or should we be at the mercy of China?

Marxism does not talk about equal outcomes. You continue to ignore that fact. It talks about common ownership and recognizes that people should be compensated according to their production capabilities. If one worker can assemble product as at a faster rate than another worker, the better worker should receive more.

I see the clip was from 2020 so I was wrong that it was about her current proposals.

Well, then policy wise you are quite Trumpian. You like Trump want to protect vital national security industries. Weed - you and Trump align. Abortion - you and Trump are aligned while your sane candidate RDS was for what you are against.


Your 4th point was raising taxes to protect SS and reduce the deficit. That is not Trumpian or Reagan-like. You do support Kamala who is raising taxes, substantially increasing the debt, and raiding SS giving money to Ukraine every day and also to the precious illegals she is flying in.

From your stated positions, the real battle is 2024 Policy Jeff (90 percent Trump) vs 2024 TDS Jeff who is all in with Kammy. 1980 Jeff is really hoping 2024 Policy Jeff prevails.

Nobody can raid SS tax funds. They go into a separate account and are only used for SS disbursements.
 
Well, JD wiped the floor with the moderators and Coach Tim. Trump certainly picked a winner in Vance. He had a great demeanor, didn’t take the bait from the moderators, answered the questions he wanted to answer while destroying the Democrat parties questions posed by CBS.

No personal insults, disciplined, didn’t back down, etc. Many qualities which would suit Trump!

The federal government is borrowing big time against the SS trust fund. Perhaps leveraging is the correct term. Either way, Kammy is sending big money to Ukraine.

The bigger point is you like Trumps policies and don’t deny it!

2028 should be a very interesting Republican Primary season should Trump win in 2024.
