  • Trump would have been sent to prison if he didn’t win the election.

    Trump would never have had the chance if Biden elected an AG who didn’t spend 4 years fucking around.

    The other half is actively fighting against it

    Its a shame the democrats dont represent those people and chose not to dismantle Trump’s ICE and instead tried to work with republicans.










  • China builds cars using massive government subsidies

    The federal government ended the the EV subsidy a few years ago.

    slave labor

    lmao. We know what slavery looks like, you can see it in the cotton fields outside Angola Prison, rows of enslaved people, and overseer on a horse, all behind barbed wire. In Xinjiang I saw farmers driving combine harvesters in roadside fields.

    local resources that arent available

    You’re getting closer. Through 1 and 5 year plans, the CPC uses SoEs (and sometimes just asks private companies “nicely”) to ensure the foundational inputs, steel, rubber, chips, college graduates, etc are all available to industry at the specific price point and volume that competing private firms need to produce say, 100m EVs or a million more apartments.

    Any country can do a little central planning to make sure private industry has what it needs, but this only works if you’re able to take action against companies that exploit the system.

    Technical development in non-capitalist societies is suppressed by war. Kalashnikov wanted to design farm equipment. Instead he designed weapons. Ask any scientist if they’re working so they can develop X before <insert adversary>, let alone as part of a war effort, 99% of them will say no. Ask the politicians why they are funding that research, and you will get a very different answer.
