The guy admitted he wants to seize the means of production. He’s a communist dressed up as a “democratic socialist”

Cause I have a small inclination to doubt that he said “I’m going to seize the means of production for NYC” (whatever that means)

Good, landlords and billionaires have exploited the working class for too long

“We have other issues that we firmly believe in — whether it’s VDS, or whether it’s the end goal of seizing the means of production.” There is literally a video of him saying that I can post lol but I can’t post it in the comments.

People should seize the means of production. They’re the producers.

Fucking idiot. So your solution is to be exploited by the government instead. Brilliant!!!

If you are exploited by the government, we have means to replace the government. When you are exploited by corporations, you just bend over and ask for more.

Not really. The person who created the company who created the job for the product to be produced is technically the producer. The product is nothing without the owner/company because otherwise the product doesn’t exist…

No, they aren’t. In the vast majority of cases, a company’s CEO was nowhere near the creation of the company nor any of its products. What the fuck, how dumb are you?

Found the clip and I don’t really understand what he’s trying to say. “End goal of seizing the means of production”- what does that mean? Who’s seizing it? The government, the working class? Also, the rest of the clip is all over the place. It seems like he’s responding to a question on an interview but for the life of me I can’t find it or the question asked. Can’t say that one clip alone would make him a full on communist, I’d rather look at the policies he’s intending on implementing

How about Amazon? Meta? Walmart? Those companies have fundamentally changed the economy and the products we have today. All from the CEO/company itself. Even so, it’s the idea behind the company that causes all products to be produced in the first place.

And you don’t think Walmart went through drastic structural changes after their founder died? Spoiler alert: they did. The Walmart workforce wasn’t on public assistance in the 70s, 80s, 90s. They were fantastic jobs that developed into lucrative careers. Same with Amazon. One it went public and shareholders became involved, everything changed. You don’t even know the story of the things you try to argue, you fucking slug.

Lmao you’ve picked three companies that are actively contributing to the destruction of our society.

Tell me this: which would have the bigger impact on Amazon. 1. Every single employee other than Jeff Bezos quits today. 2. Jeff Bezos dies.

And it’s like this moronic troglodyte doesn’t even understand the difference between Facebook and Meta. Facebook when it was just Facebook being run by fuckface mczuck wasn’t an attack on personal privacy and international affairs. That didn’t happen until it went public and had to answer to… wait for it… shareholders. Care to venture a guess on how these things progressed with Twitter’s timeline, as well? Spoiler alert: it a re-run.

So by your logic, if I build a warehouse to make a table that I created, the workers that I hire to recreate said table now have the right to ownership of that property and the tables that are created. Am I right? Is that not your logic?

My logic is that if you are relying on them for your income, you should provide them income that allows them to live their lives safely and healthily so that you can continue to profit from their labor. If you are unwilling to do that, you should make the fucking tables yourself.
