    Taxes

    Taxes? That’s how the working class owns the means of production in the US military?

    Am I talking to a damn chatbot here? It sure as hell sounds like it.

      Yeah, think of it like a corporation. Instead of shares, you have votes and taxes.

      Everyone in the military can vote on the actions of that military. Although, so can everyone not in the military. And the number of votes don’t correspond to how many shares you can buy, because it’s more equal than capitalism.

        Oh… in that case, I’d like some proof that people in the US voted to invade Iraq and Afghanistan back in 2003.

        Shouldn’t be too difficult for a “very stable genius” like you, eh?
