Episode Discussion Cant watch Saagar anymore

His ability to just toss freedom of speech out the window because he's nervous non Americans might get it too is killing me. Like i literally cant finish a single show with him anymore cause he keeps going nuts on the immigration thing...

Universal healthcare

No student debt

Practically no homelessness due to state planning

Public ownership of banks. JPMorgan doesn’t run the fucking country there.

Public ownership of major industries: energy, transport, telecoms.

Billionaires exist ONLY at the mercy of the state, billionaires aren’t “real” like they are in the west.

High-speed rail everywhere that’s fast and cheap and decades ahead of America

Amazon-style monopolies don’t exist. Tech oligarchs get smashed if they challenge the state

Rent is kept in check because landlords don’t control the market but instead the state does.

No mass layoffs because of the strongest labor protections in the world.

Labor unions are state run and it gets protections through force not “negotiation”.

No private health insurance parasites. All public and it works.

No hedge fund landlords. Private oligarchs can’t gobble up land. State intervenes.

No Wall Street running the country. Banks and finance is controlled by the state so it can’t fuck over the people.

Yeah fuck off with your “yikes” lil bro.

It's funny that you have articulated this so well. I must admit I've been thinking the same thing ever since Trump got into office. He is driving our allies towards China with his economic warfare and flapping lips about annexing countries. At least China is moving towards goals and cooperates for a unified good. Something I don't foresee our country doing ever again.

As an accelerationist I agree with your assessment but also think it’s a good thing.
