Why would anyone who gets elected start catering when they are most unaccountable?

Right. The designers and the majority of the workers are capitalists

What are you trying to say here? That the majority of workers are also the owners?

workers are capitalists by participating in a capitalist society. Some of the workers are communists. That is true.

Oh, you're talking about ideology? Why? Who cares what the workers individually believe, we are talking about the fact that they are workers.

The answer is nope! Their labor power was treated the same as any other raw material, the outcome of the sale did not wrap back to their hands.

You asked my feelings, ie my emotions. My feelings are that it's tragic.

Now you are asking for analysis, ie whose fault it is and what should be done.

  1. Whose "fault" is it?

The cause of the war, ie the reason why it is happening, stems from NATO as it was formed as an anti-USSR coalition of Imperialist powers. After the dissolution of the USSR, Russia was plundered by western Capitalists. The Russian Federation tried to join NATO, but was denied, so it threw off the Western Imperialists via an increase in far-right Nationalist interests.

NATO continued to expand despite Russia warning repeatedly against it, and now Russia is trying to forcibly demilitarize Ukraine completely, compounded by Ukranian shelling of Donetsk and Luhansk, breakaway regions in Ukranian territory of ethnic Russians.

  1. What should happen to end it?

Peace talks should be had between Russia and Ukraine. They need to examine the reality of the forces at play, and try to come to a resolution quickly to prevent more loss of life.

If Trump has the legal ability to make it a dictatorship, then it always was, and the rest was kabuki theatre. If he has the illegal means of making it a dictatorship, then he has that power regardless of how the election turns out.

What are you trying to say?

What on Earth are you talking about? Like here:

Western Mainstream Media made the whole thing up?

Who on Earth thinks there is no war in Ukraine?

How do you feel about the war in Ukraine? Is that not material reality?

Again, what on Earth are you asking? War is always tragic, yes, and war is happening because of Matetial Conditions, not random emotions or vibes. What are you getting at?

What's with the random non-sequitor?

Try analyzing material reality for once.

What rightwing propaganda am I swallowing? Where is America not currently an Imperialist Dictatorship?

Do some more than basic googling.

People are brainwashed into not knowing the difference between big "S" socialism and " Capitalism with a strong social safety net".

Brainwashing implies intent. In reality, the ideas held by a society depend on the Mode of Production, the Base and Superstructure reinforce each other.

There isn't a single developed western nation that is the first. They're all the second. We're not "socialist" and less free than the good ol' Murica. We just know that your capitalism runs better if your population isn't struggling...

Not sure what your intent is here, Capitalism itself can't work.

Liberals pretending Leftists are Republicans because Leftists also hate liberals will never not be funny.

Does it make the bomb stronger? If Harris cries when the next shipment goes, does it misfire?
