Seriously, how are people still defending this dumpster fire of a system?

We’ve got billionaires hoarding wealth like dragons while regular folks can’t even afford insulin or a roof over their heads. But sure, keep licking those corporate boots and pretending “trickle-down economics” isn’t a scam.

If you’re against universal healthcare and housing, you’re either brainwashed or part of the problem. Wake up, sheeple!

Your "rigged system" mantra excuses personal failure. Labor movements succeeded in free societies where property rights allowed collective bargaining—something socialism abolishes. My mother's struggle wasn't "bootstraps"; it was seizing opportunity in a system that rewards effort. Your ideology offers only envy and stagnation.

Yeah it reward effort... She made so Mich effort than you are at least billionaire now ? Or are you spouting nonsense ?

You're just blind to your own privilege. Capitalism rewards luck, not effort. Your mom got lucky, period. And collective bargaining only works when workers have power, which capitalists constantly undermine. Keep licking those boots, Billybob.

Privilege? Luck? Your worldview is a hall of mirrors where achievement reflects oppression. Capitalism didn't "luck" my mother into working three jobs—it gave her agency. Your socialist utopias? They bulldoze agency under bureaucracy. Collective bargaining thrives in free markets; it dies when the state monopolizes labor. Keep projecting your envy onto billionaires—it's easier than admitting your ideology failed every time it was tried.

Yes it is luck that you had possibility to go study. Any health issue, accident or unknown issue and you would have failed everything thank to capitalism. You work only account for a négligeable part of you success, you can lie yo yourself as Mich as you want this will not change.

Whatever, You're just a brainwashed capitalist shill. Keep defending the billionaires while people suffer. Your "facts" are all lies anyway. I'm done with this convo you moron.
