or being one

oh

yeah, you know oyu can join the army today and fight in wars

though I did that and it's far less fun than you owuld imagine

Falklands are British

the suspense of what alines is typng in killing me

i won't be as invested in it because imperialism and defending right-wing autocracies for the CIA and the likes of edward bernays

imperialism?

what are you talking about?

we do not have an empire

I hate people who say that jsut to be hyperbolic

yea, i mean like corporate imperialism.
like what the u.s. and united fruit did to guatemala

cus there were acutual empires in history

that word has a meaning

that's not imperialism

buy a fucking dictionary

it jsut confuses the topic saying crap like that

and makes you seem like a flake

okay, would corporate feudalism be a more appropriate phrase then?

no it wouldn't

cus fuedalism has s meaning also

ugh...

what are you against anyway though?

american companies making money in war zones?

just state it in plain english, rather than use some inaccurate label

in general, capitalism and the state

you are against capitalism?

yes, i am

what do you mean by that?

you thinkthat peopl eshould not be paid for their work?

do you think people should get paid for their work?

well???

i think the monopolization of resources and the means of production is cruel, and it forces the working classes to play by their rules, not the rules they feel are better for themselves

do you think people should get paid for their work?

are you on a phone?

yes, i do. but if bosses have all the power to decide to what extent in what manner they get paid, that's exploitation

who do you think should decide what they get paid then?

by and large, the local municipalities and democratic unions

well the problem with that is there is no motivation to do any actual work

people will just keep voting themselves more and more money without producing anything

which isn't going to work out very well
