    Leftists are anti-capitalist. Leftists are also socialist.

        Fund what? Distract from what? Words help people find other people who share their beliefs and organize politically.

          Their salaries you think politicians would make this much in socialist world? you think money would even be relevent ? How do you think these politicians will take hearing they have to eat shit like the rest of us to fix this world? you think that’ll happen? i dont Agreed on words matterin but so do actions and lately we’ve let those in control do all the actions. When I say a better world I mean everywhere not just america every human deserves to live and this world the way the system is does not allow that

            Politicians are rich before they get elected, their salaries are not motivating them to stay in politics.

            Have you read Are Prisons Obsolete by Angela Davis? It’s a quick read and that was my introduction to radical left politics.

                Awesome I hope you like it, Angela Davis is truly a hero.

                Yeah I agree, politicians are at the behest of corporations and rely on them for campaign funding. One idea is to publically fund campaigns and ban donations, so anyone can run and it’s an even playing field.

                  Agreed but so far it only seems plausible on a small scale until their are restrictions on corporations or some sort of benefit for employee owned co-ops
