Trump thread part 2 (Or anything else we want to talk about that's ridiculous in politics today)

@Captain Red Eye

but i mean it seems to me noam chomsky hits on some of the same ideas you do about having no masters or slaves and being in control of your own labor (sounds a bit voluntary)... it's at least cut from the same cloth, imo.

 

[Captain Red Eye]

I just wanted to know who is writing this rubbish.

That's not a counter argument Mr. Overseer.

If you like systems which rely from the start on an assumption of consent backed by force, you would have made a fine overseer!

If you'd like better responses from me, bring a counter argument and don't run away tsk tsking when your ideas are proven contradictory or full of consent violations.

Noam Chomsky is willing to have discussions to exchange ideas and I think his heart is in the right place.
He's not my boss, my leader or my master though.

There is room for Anarcho Commies to co-exist with people of other view points if the Commies are also Voluntaryists and confine their Commie ideas to only those that willingly join them.

Failing that, Anarcho Commies are frauds posturing to be Anarchists when they are really forcible collectivists. Logic.

Anarcho Commies

i'd also like to point out that although it was posted in r/anarchocommunism noam was not talking about AC and was talking about historical ideas of socialism

Is an argument what you need?

I'm flattered.

I just want to know where you find your garbage.

100% consensus will never be reached in any topic.

All of this just creates more political paralysis where nothing gets done which ultimately benefits the ruling class.

Thank You, Suckers: A Billionaire’s Ode to My Most Loyal Supporters​

Hello, my hardworking, taxpaying, vote-casting friends! I felt it was time for me—your friendly neighborhood billionaire—to extend a heartfelt thank-you to the real MVPs of my success: you, the loyal workers and voters who tirelessly defend my interests, even when they’re directly opposed to your own.

Let’s be honest here: I couldn’t have built my empire without you. You show up every day, clock in, and give it your all. And when you’re not working, you’re cheering me on, proudly voting for the policies I’ve spent millions lobbying for. Policies that ensure my taxes stay low, my monopolies remain intact, and your wages stay stagnant.

You’re not just employees or constituents to me—you’re believers. You’ve bought into the idea that I’m on your side, that my wealth is a sign of virtue, and that somehow, my success will one day trickle down to you. Spoiler: it won’t. But watching you cling to that hope? Priceless.

I’ll admit, I admire your optimism. It takes a special kind of faith to vote for politicians who cut taxes for people like me while slashing programs that might help you. It’s inspiring to see you argue against unions, higher wages, and healthcare reform—things that would directly improve your life—because you’ve convinced yourself that one day, you’ll be sitting where I am. You won’t, of course, but the belief keeps you compliant, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

I’ve spent millions crafting a narrative where billionaires like me are the heroes of the story. We’re job creators, innovators, and philanthropists. Never mind that most of my philanthropy is just tax-advantaged PR, or that the jobs I create are low-wage, high-turnover positions that keep you one missed paycheck away from disaster. The important thing is that you believe the myth.

And boy, do you believe it. You cheer when I say the system rewards hard work, even as you’re working harder than ever and falling further behind. You nod along when I say I’m self-made, conveniently ignoring the generational wealth, connections, and systemic advantages that paved my way. You even defend me against calls to pay my fair share in taxes, because somehow, you think taxing billionaires would hurt you more than it hurts me. Spoiler again: it wouldn’t.

The truth is, I see you for what you are: suckers. But you’re my suckers, and I love you for it. Without your votes, your labor, and your willingness to believe the fantasy that I’m just like you, I wouldn’t be here. So thank you for playing your part in this beautiful game we call capitalism.

And don’t worry—I’ll keep doing my part too. I’ll keep pretending to care about the middle class while funneling your hard-earned money up to me. I’ll keep donating to politicians who tell you what you want to hear while doing exactly what I want behind closed doors. And I’ll keep reminding you that if you just work a little harder, dream a little bigger, you might one day join me at the top. You won’t—but please, don’t let that stop you from trying.

Sincerely,
A Billionaire Who Knows Exactly How Lucky I Am to Have You
