Ah you say the Soviet Union was democratic? Have you considered that 8% of Americans are millionaires, and they’re mostly car lot owners, landlords, or play the stock market? You see, America is great because we afford millions of people access to ruling class democracy by virtue of their con artistry skills. The Soviet Union merely had a regional party structure using councils made of local workers and their representatives. And that’s just not right. What we need is a society where I can own my dad’s factory when I turn 18.
Also, a lot of those 8% are millionaires on paper, and it’s only because they own a home that they bought when it was $200,000. They’re not buying yachts and eating gold foil caviar and whispering into politicians’ ears or whatever. The ultra wealthy are as concentrated as ever.
Yeah that too. Eyes Wide Shut continues to be correct. Some random dentist with a $2 million property has an unreasonable amount of sway in American society, and yet even that amount of influence is dwarfed by the ultra bourgeoisie. The rest of us have no influence at all.
