Do they need to coup? It’s already a dictatorship of capital with no left, not even an opposition party.

Also a blatant coup destroys the illusion of democracy. U.S. elites do not want that.

How do you guys interpret this?

Some people are saying that this is in preparation for an upcoming military operation but Trump escalating the Iran war this close to the midterms seems like such a disastrous course of action to commit to for the Republicans.

My first instinct is because they’ve lost and are hemorrhaging money on all this stuff so they’re abandoning it. But on the other hand, the middle east is a critical lever of world power. I don’t see U.S. imperialists so easily abandoning the most energy rich region on earth.

You may want to talk to a financially advisor who actually knows about this kind of thing.

Red flags start going off for me when people start talking about free money. “Infinite Banking” couldn’t sound more suspicious to me. And why is it in your name and not theirs?

As he should.

There is no viable left in the U.S., I know this makes me sound like a lib but there are many trans comrades in my life who have had their lives substantially damaged by the Republican party. The war against Iran was brazen imperialist aggression and Iranian people have suffered tremendously due to Trump’s arrogance.

The Democrats are the less destructive party. Things will deteriorate slower under democratic rule. I am largely influenced by “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” type thinking. Yes the Democrats are capitalist, yes imperialist, but the Republicans are outright genocidal towards trans people and immigrants.

Ah man I can’t even hate modern art anymore. Dag gummit.

The world needs it. Capitalism is worse than ever, and thus Marxism is more relevant than ever. Capitalism is now poised to destroy the environment upon which all life depends if it is not overthrown immediately.

The fact of climate change should cause every thinking person to be opposed to the system which produced it: capitalism.
