Interesting, maybe I’ll read the book. I’m trying to read more

I don’t know anything about Dune, does it have Magic (the Force)?

I agree. Businesses and owners have too much influence. I want more unions, trust-busting, and consumer protections. Workers seem to be organizing more at least, which is a good start.

I think human nature is inherently greedy and selfish, and capitalism is best equipped to use this in a way that benefits society. Workers are motivated to work harder and learn new skills to find the most rewarding job they can. Businesses are motivated to create products and run as efficiently as possible. Consumers are motivated to get as much value as the can out of their money. Everyone in the equation is acting selfishly and in their own self-interest (which I believe humans are inclined to do anyway) but when applied on a societal level, everyone benefits. However I will concede that this is a balancing act that requires some level of government regulation to maintain.

On the other hand, I think communism only works when everyone acts altruistically. Which is noble, but unrealistic.

I think capitalism is good, but not perfect. Communism is bad.

Do you have a real-world example of a successful communist state? Because you may not like it, but those “communist” countries are humanities best attempts at enacting communism and they resulted in millions of people dying.

So the tens of millions of people that died under communism were all landlords? Wow, what are the chances of that

I’m voting third party, I dislike them both. But don’t worry, I live in a blue state so it doesn’t really matter anyway.

Which is actually a bad thing, because it doesn’t give voters a choice.

Maybe the smiling guy is happy because the trolley isn’t running over the one person, and he doesn’t know what’s on the other track.

Are democrats critical of Biden’s cognitive ability too or are both sides hypocrites?

That’s how low the bar is.

They keep raising the price of PPV’s, watering down the cards, and running more ads during an event people already paid for. No wonder people look for streams.
