"The power of government to both reward and punish is awesome. No other entity can legally take money away from citizens at gunpoint and hand it to others it favors."
That is often true where governments actually govern. Then, they even regulate corporations. That is not true in the USA.
Here, corporate oligarchs form a ruling class that uses its wealth to control an obsolete two-party system—a cartel system with winner-take-all vote tallies that prevent forming an actual representative Democracy. Moreover, the situation enables their corporations to regulate government. Screams of"Save our Democracy" actually mean "Preserve our ruling class oligarchy!!"
"No other entity has the power to deprive people of their freedom and even their lives."
About 500,000 people each year who lose their lives and homes to a murderous ruling-class owned corporate "health care" system would have to disagree with you, Tom. No real democracy maintains such a system to keep people dependent on needed health care. The for-profit "health care" system is the most efficient way ever devised to allow a ruling class to gradually and permanently move all of the wealth of everyday citizens to themselves. The plan of the Democratic Party is encapsulated in the words of their icon Hillary Clinton: Americans will "NEVER, EVER" have a single payer health care system. That was virtue signalling to her ruling class backers as her party deceived their own rank and file and rigged their own primary. This election, the operatives of both parties wanted to get rid of Lina Khan, who actually made the terminal mistake of regulating corporations. Both parties made certain that her removal happened.
Telling people such nonsense as quoted comments above and brainwashing them to believe that they live in an actual democracy ensures that the corporate ruling class will own them forever. Doing your part here to preserve the brainwashing.
Mr. Nuhfer, you are the only person here responding with an actual analysis of the socio-structural forces forming our lives. All the rest is useless biological and psychological reductionism paired with personal attacks, and often laced with childish vulgarity presented by the usual intellectual clowns. Good job!
Thank you. Similar sites exist to supply confirmation bias to sheepdog for the Democratic Party rather than to confront reality. Reality is too frightening.
