Also, if the world didnt have USD as a reserve currency, US would be fucked
Calvin Coolidge presided over an economic boom by doing nothing, but as he passed the reins over to Herbert Hoover the economy basically imploded
well look i can get behind that but with all things considered we have to cut the government by a lot
@Nike @Brickiest Brick And don't forget that this is happening while, as you (brick) said, "businesses are coming back" from what is supposed to be a prospering time
the reason the government can't support itself is because it's too big
the government needs to find a balance between how much in taxes it takes in and how big it is
Ok...
I dont think it will work
You wont find a balance
What about capital accumulation?
You can find a temporary one
But the contradictions of capitalism will keep accumulating
i mean, at this point this is more of a criticism of democracy
because different presidents and different governments are elected
they change how the government works and operates
what about economic democracy
how much it spends
You seem to be under the impression that communism has to happen under a big government
We need economic and workplace democract
Thats too simplistic
no its not enough democracy in many ways
this
^
i'm not saying abolish democracy
not at all
We know
businesses aren't democratic
there are more democratic ways of running production
democracy has its flaws, i'm just acknowledging its flaws
Democratize the enterprize - the alpha wolff

you have to deal with flaws
