If some corruption was uncovered in Biden's administration, are you saying it gives the Trump administration carte blanche to be as corrupt as they are currently?

I believe John Larue answered your question succinctly. The big Marxist players the Soviet Union and China expressed their inspiration was Karl Marx and of course they failed in their pursuit.
I correctly thought you were shooting for some type of acknowledgement that Marxism doesn't really purely exist. Such a pity that your set-up had such little payback.
The problem is that Marx was more of a political theorist and philosopher than an economist. His writings are more ideals than practical economics. As John noted, Marxist governments become beasts that feed on their own people. That is the inevitable and unfortunate result of aggressive government control over the economy. If you have a better understanding of Marxism and how it could work in practice, please share it.

We'll see.
Are the attempts to defund medicaid also "Solely for entertainment"?
How about the purges which appear to be happening in the civil service?
This isn't "politics as usual".
Which suggests that the "3rd term" initiative might be meant seriously, albeit hopelessly incompetent and maladroit. Just like all else Trump's buddies have been doing for the past 3 weeks.
Spare us the lecture on Politics 101. Thanks.
Your musings are at the level of "Guy in the corner at the pub after 4 beers".
I'm not sure if you have really been following the politics of the tariff discussion.
So let's look at a recent Trump quote. He's been very clear on the matter.
“We are going to look at pharmaceuticals, drugs, we are going to look at chips, semiconductors and we are going to look at steel and some other industries and you are going to see things happening,” Trump told House Republicans. “The only way to get out of this is to build your plant — if you want to stop paying taxes or tariffs, build here in America.”
Participate constructively or stay out of the discussion.
shack was conversing with me.
How long realistically would it take to rebuild the US steel industry or auto industry - while knowing all along that it will never again be internationally competitive with the Pacific Rim auto industries?
How deeply would you have to ass-fuck your own people with high, tariff-sustained prices to re build that industry?
And that same, carefully-rebuilt industry would immediately collapse again, as soon as the tariffs were lowered.
The West is post-industrial and service- oriented. I don't 100% like it either. But you won't change that reality by doing dumb shit like tariffs.
I think I memorized how the "Why didn't Marxism work out in the real world?" discussion went - by rote - around 1982. (Yes, I'm that old!).
I don't think the end game is to prop up any one industry. Rather the days of China, Germany, etc. running up enormous trade deficits and putting pressure on the global economy are coming to a head.
I think you're also forgetting the automobiles built by Japanese and German auto manufacturers in the U.S. are great cars.
Indeed. I try to remember that when I drop 400 bucks for an hour of entertainment. Not everyone can.
Which is why they voted for Trump. What did they have to lose? Things can't get any worse than they were under Biden.
no ... you don't got it
The Nazi were also all about suppression of freedoms and big government
They prioritized the state over individual rights
they also left a big pile of rotting corpses every where they went
NAZI National Socialist German Workers' Party.
And they could just not get along with other socialists
USSR Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
They had the biggest rumble in history to see who could be more evil.
Naturally the Socialist won and humanity lost
In Canada only 20 years ago one could proudly state " I have middle of the road common sense views , with a modest bias to support the social safety net and i am a proud liberal'
not now . its WTF? What did Justin Trudeau/ Gerald Butts do to my liberal party ?
when it should be WTF? What did Justin Trudeau/ Gerald Butts do to my country ?
there are no Alt-right in the Conservative party
Yet the liberals have a self proclaimed socialist/ anarchist and lunatic Little Stevie Guilbeault
I hope he likse the color orange because come October the SDTC files become unredacted
Was he wrong here? Because if he is, he should be sued into poverty....Byron Donalds, huh?
Wow!
trump's gov't is 10 days old
are you privy to some corruption scandal nobody else knows about ?
including the alleged perpetrators of this corruption
or is this an another case of your biased views clouding you ability to think carefully?
be patient.... the Trump administration is still going through files with a yellow highlighter marking the democrats mistakes
be patient, some scandal will turn up for you to drool over and pretend you have moral superiority
why you wish for this is a bit of a mystery as the Trudeau govt has supplied you with countless scandals which you completely ignore
and those scandals impact you and your country directly
here is a fresh one for you
the foreign interference report came out today
either Trudeau lied under oath or Justice Hogue got it all wrong, there is no middle ground
and no one knows if their MP was compromised
you will be silent on this issue
you define hypocrisy
