Capitalism is not a tool that pays for social services. Its a system that allows private individuals to own the means of production (and along with those, the political systems, laws, and media of their domiciled countries) with the goal of extracting a profit from the sale of commodities produced by wage workers they employ.
Capitalists only apportion some of the surplus value stolen from workers to public services, when forced to by political agitation from below.
These proposals for ranked choice voting are a dead-end, because they already exist in many capitalist countries, and it doesn’t fix anything. They just stack any number of candidates they like, and have their media push the most friendly ones.
If you allow capitalists to own production, then the political system will always be subservient to them, and be nothing but puppets to serve their interests. Anyways here’s some more resources:
That got added recently, but you still need a phone number to sign up. A phone number is tied to your identity, meaning that signal’s database has the names and addresses of everyone who uses it. And since signal is US-based, its subject to US national security letters, meaning its illegal for signal to tell anyone that the US government has requested information about who they’re talking to.
Under the Obama administration, an average of 60 NSLs were issued every single day.
This looks delicious… what’s the sauce on the chickpeas?
Some more about why the Nordic model isn’t socialism:
I think they even have pen (like, writing pen) cameras that can fit inside a front pocket for pretty cheap.
Give me your phone number so I can chat with you on signal about this.
The US-state-department funding is important sure, but you also ignored every other point in that article.
Its impossible to have a government that represents the people, if capital stands above the political system.
Nato doesn’t kill people, doesn’t attack, does not do genocide and most relevant for the meme, it doesn’t redraw state lines.
NATO killed thousands of people, redrew state lines, and overthrew several governments, in yugoslavia, libya, afghanistan, and north africa.
It’s main enemies (and those of it’s member countries) are the anti-colonialist movement:

Almost all those can be self-hosted, and built from source, so matrix, xmpp, simplex, are fine. Don’t use anything that’s uses a centralized server in a five eyes country, like signal or threema.
Alternative voting systems haven’t proven to be even the slightest obstacle to capitalist rule. Japan and Australia have alternative voting systems, and they’re still on the same far right path, still evict indigenous peoples, and still act as US military bases.
The complete opposite.
The US military already has this I’m sure. Every protest I’ve been to in the past few years has a drone pointed at the crowds that I’m sure is correlating data hoovered from all the US tech companies to identify thousands of people in real time.
This tech could easily work with any type of camera too, that’s a lot harder to identify than glasses with a light that turns on when its recording. Hidden cameras on pins, necklaces, clothing, etc.
Dishes especially are one of those things that doesn’t take any quicker to do in large batches. It’s faster and easier to just do them after eating before things get dried on.
Even dish-cleaning-youtube experts don’t use their dishwashers anymore.
Democrats do that also, they’re just not as honest about it as republicans. When Obama left office, he gave a parting gift of 38 billion dollars for Israel’s defense defense.
The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox.
Nice, thx.
A million Iraqi civilians died in the US wars on Iraq. They carpet bombed and let so many cities just burn.
