    You know that it’s a class war, and not a political one…right?

    Right?

      Platner has presented zero class analysis. 90% of his anti-war position is “we should spend that money at home”. And best he’s a sheep dog social Democrat like Bernie and AOC. At worst he’ll just slide right over his career because he won’t actually address his past.

      What does that even mean? You know that war is the continuation of politics by other means, right? The class war is entirely political.

        No, it’s not. There are selfish wealthy people on both sides of the political spectrum.

          And there’s your problem.

          They’ve convinced you that Democrat® and Republican® are on opposite sides of the political spectrum when they’re actually on the same side. They’re both right-wing parties. There is no left side to speak of in the US.

              There are very “liberal” wealthy people who are just as much a part of the problem as the “conservative” wealthy people.

              Yeah, because liberalism and conservatism are both right wing ideologies. The line between left and right is: who should own the means of production? Both liberals and conservatives want private ownership, while socialists want public ownership.

          Their political allegiance is capitalism. They’re all power hungry fascists, regardless of what political affiliation they claim on paper.

          Do you mean the “political spectrum” as in democrats and republicans? There’s a ton outside that narrow spectrum.
