Trump only has power because the oligarchs are using him to 1) Distract people away from class consciousness and 2) Use fascism to shore up their power for when distraction fails.

Henry Ford still underpaid people for their labor. That is the fundamental key to capitalism. Profit is surplus labor that capitalists steal from laborers.

That’s because in capitalism the politicians actually serve the wealthy ruling class, not the citizens, and the ruling class and the citizens have vastly different priorities.

According to the UK, splashing something with paint to express a political opinion means that you are a terrorist.

You are factually incorrect.

Someone has filled your head with propaganda.

The gulags were the just the name of their prison system and most of them were actually west of the Caucasus.

Oh, and America now imprisons more people (by numbers and per capita) than the USSR ever did.

That’s my point. Democrats don’t have the best interest of working people in their hearts.

Yeah, it's a lot of information and it's probably best to use it on desktop, not mobile.

To get search results, use the filter menu on the left. In the "Agency" tab I added a filter for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the "Awarding Agency." Then, in the "Location" tab, I added my zipcode, then clicked "Add Filter." Then finally I clicked Submit. The window in the middle gives you a list of all ICE contracts in that area, including the business name that was awarded the contract.

Let me know if you have other questions, I use databases like this at work, so it's pretty easy for me. I'm also happy to look up specific areas for you if that is easier.

Isn't that the point of this thread? That Democrats don't support the working class?

The military, the police, the prisons, ICE, TSA, DHS, CIA, NSA... any number of oppressive organizations that exist to protect the exalted status of capital.

It's cute you think we're still going to have midterms.

/s maybe?

It certainly casts light on the pro-capitalist Western bias that permeates "impartial" organizations like Pew or AP Press.
