    moneyed interests choose the candidates you are voting for. it doesnt really matter if they let you choose between the candidates they choose for you.

    the US is not the only place where this happens because the US imposes their will everywhere else. its the same shit over here and most of the planet, trust me.

    isnt it weird that on capitalism, a couple of corporations control half the economy?

      No, I don’t trust you. Provide sources please.

        then you are gonna have to look for it. you didnt source any of your claims either.

        i tought this was obvious in the communism sub of all places but look into how the washington consensus and draconian IMF rules for the third world are imposed, and you will have a pretty good starting point for your research.

        also read up on how marxists and leninists understand neocolonialism, its still relevant today.

          I didn’t really make any claims though. If you disagree what claims do you want sources for?

          That asking for sources is a sin? Yeah I actually know. You people always hate that.
