none of those guys are socialists. I'm saying the contemporary left needs a class of Bond villains. we have to form Spectre. https://bsky.app/profile/abraham.su/post/3lhnglvberk2j

If we start now, I think we can win over Mark Cuban

Just gotta dope him up real good so he’s real suggestible

sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com•84 days ago

unironically I truly do not think it'd take much

catturd2.bsky.social•84 days ago

I actually kind of like Mark, I was at an event where he was asked about the UHC CEO and he went straight to criticizing the insurance industry without the standard denunciation

sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com•84 days ago

I'm legit not surprised by that. His pharmacy thing seems to have really helped a lot of ppl

catturd2.bsky.social•84 days ago

he gave an actually very good argument to the (rich) audience that sure insurance is a cost center but the vast majority of unnecessary cost is passed on to employers via inflated group rates

catturd2.bsky.social•84 days ago

basically, whenever they read about how fucked up insurance is, that's the employers' money!

Fine but we need that suicide squad brain bomb technology to keep them in line.

We need armed militias

Only if they give me some bags

What if we had some kind of socialist who didn't believe in socialism at all, but in fact, believed in capitalism? Checkmate, leftists.

Mmmmm no — ruthless cooperatives and unions making sure human rights are met? Yes.

catturd2.bsky.social•84 days ago

ruthless socialist mega co-op would be an excellent twist on the cyberpunk genre

tonymanzullo.bsky.social•84 days ago

catturd2.bsky.social•84 days ago

Apparently Neville Roy Singham is a Maoist

Funds the People's Forum and seems to do a lot of good work. Not perfect and still rich but weirdly and oddly leftist in some areas.

I was told we had George Soros but that does not, in fact, appear to be useful.

Well, the current ones are kind of socialists, they believe if their business fails, the US government should bail them out without them having to repay anything! But damn those education seeking people!
