People be like "under communism you'll own nothing and you'll like it" then capitalism is like "Your games are a service, we are phasing out physical media, your apps are subscription based, we'll remove your digital media whenever we want, and good luck ever owning a home lol." #capitalism #communism
We're talking about the company controlled by a guy who sent money to Trump, changed the Washington Post into Republican propaganda.
You sure you want him to record what you say in private?
"Starting on March 28, recordings of everything spoken to the Alexa living in Echo speakers and smart displays will automatically be sent to Amazon and processed in the cloud."
Also, "class-reductionism" is the only logical way to view society. Everything reduces to class relations. That doesn't mean we should ignore non-class problems, just that we should recognize that those problems stem from class conflicts.
You've got me wrong. I'm not against voting, only against voting for Democrats. Parliamentary efforts are a useful tool that working people can use to promote revolutionary change. Even the Bolsheviks did this in the Duma after the February Revolution, which, combined with their non-parliamentary efforts, led to a successful revolution against the capitalist provisional government. Workers in America should definitely vote for actual leftist parties.
Voting for Democrats leads to token gesturing, not real change or any potential for change. It maintains the capitalist status quo and prevents the working class from even thinking that it's necessary to change the system. Working outside of capitalist parties is the way to break this brainwashed mentality that infects working people.

Voting for the Democrats (one capitalist party) out of fear of the Republicans (another capitalist party) gaining power won't change anything because the problem is capitalism, not which capitalist party, both of which support the same flawed system, is in power. The only way to make any kind of systemic change is to work outside of capitalist parties.
If this is a request to "vote blue no matter who," then my answer is a resounding "NO!" Obsessively voting for Democrats doesn't eliminate any systemic problems. All it does is perpetuate capitalism and prevent the working class from being uplifted to make actual systemic change.
Your lack of becoming a millionaire, billionaire, or future, trillionaire is not a reflection of yourself being lazy, or lacking any ambition.
You have not failed in life, nor have you wasted your life, simply because you are similar to the average person, who will never wake up wealthy through hard work and determination.

Hold your horses, The Expanse, I know you're a science fiction show, your purpose is to explore different, sometimes wildly strange possibilities, but even within your genre, this is too unrealistic:
Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.: "Murray Rothbard was the chief architect of modern anarcho-capitalism, an uncompromising vision of a stateless society rooted in private property and voluntary association. He built upon classical liberal thought, particularly the ideas of John Locke and the individualist anarchism of 19th-century thinkers like Lysander Spooner and Benjamin Tucker." https://mises.org/mises-wire/great-murray-rothbard-0 #rothbard #austrianeconomics #economics #capitalism
