Fenton, population 226, brings in over $1 million per year through its mayor’s court, an unusual justice system in which the mayor can serve as judge even though he’s responsible for town finances.

          I hate to break it to you, but capitalism in its purest form is very close to totalitarianism, it’s just that instead of a centralised government calling the shots it’s whoever has the fattest wallet.

          Edited to remove american from before capitalism.

          Totalitarianism - A system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state

          Centralised government - centralized government (also united government) is one in which both executive and legislative power is concentrated centrally at the higher level

          Communism - a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs

          It’s so easy to research and not look stupid…

            It’s easy to get these confused when every example of national communism has resulted in a totalitarian state.

              I will give you that.

              I hate to be that person but I’d also say if I claimed to be a Christian that didn’t believe in God or Jesus it doesn’t mean Christians don’t believe in God or Jesus, it just means I’m not Christian.

      I’m not sure if you realize this but using that term when it’s not really applicable looks silly. Using that term when it’s 100% not remotely applicable makes you look like a moron.

        That’s government by the cows, right? Cow-moo-nism. They swapped some letters to make it more pronuncable.

      ??? Mate you need to read something. I suggest starting with Cocomelon books. Since you clearly don’t understand half the words you have used.
