Power to the People ☭🕊 Is it corruption or capitalism?

David Agudelo Both.

Power to the People ☭🕊 David Agudelo Crony capitalism. Before you respond with ‘is there any other kind’. Yes there is..

Chris Hicks Power to the People ☭🕊 David Agudelo No.

The Real White Jesus ☭ Power to the People ☭🕊 David Agudelo Yes, there is.

@furiousdrums Chris Hicks The Real White Jesus ☭ Power to the People ☭🕊 David Agudelo That wouldn't be a definitive 'free market' with that in place. The system is working as intended. It's a corrupt system. The purpose of the capital is to separate the worker from the means of production. An investor receives greater compensation for my labor than I do. Full stop

Thinking Aloud @furiousdrums The Real White Jesus ☭ Power to the People ☭🕊 David Agudelo Then reform must be advocated and systemic change In representation should be pursued by all third parties together.

Chris Hicks @furiousdrums The Real White Jesus ☭ Power to the People ☭🕊 David Agudelo I agree with your sentiment of collective engagement. This has to undermine the US' overglorification of individualism. But reform, to me, suggests maintenance of capitalism. It has to be abolished. It should be razed, not reformed. Sorry if I read too far into your wording 😅

Thinking Aloud @furiousdrums The Real White Jesus ☭ Power to the People ☭🕊 David Agudelo Updating is necessary. Cutting out the crony is pretty obvious. First congress should merely be a body that studies and advocates for law. Voting should be direct in all matters often. Secondly, lobbyists should not be influence bill language. Simple ideas like that.

Chris Hicks @furiousdrums The Real White Jesus ☭ Power to the People ☭🕊 David Agudelo Im not undemocratic. And these would be improvements. But they are not innate to capitalism. Despite this, capitalism prevents it. Changes like these are not possible under the current system. Seems redundant, but a lobbyist won't allow antilobbying bills.
