    So they want us to band together, pay taxes, and fund institutions that use labor rights and labor unions, weekends, and a 40 hour work week to fight the thing that gave us all those things ?

    Mate, sit down we need to talk.

    They could pretty much say “we need $350b to open more prison camps for the 1% to rape and eat children when they’re bored” and I’m pretty convinced nothing would happen so stop it, why even bother with the communism cherade anymore

    Embezzlement money for the corporate welfare division of Capitalism.

    The wealthy are so wealthy that they get the big bribes.

    Fuck the right wing anti-communist crowd are dumb as shit… Actually shit’s probably a bit smarter than they are.

    There are roughly 32 million students from k-8th grade in the US. If you have that money for education instead, that would be almost 11k per kid. Over 200k for a class of 20 kids, which could hire like 3 more teachers per class. Or 5.5 million for a school of 500 kids. We could fund so many things and maybe give these kids an education worth having…

    Assuming that there are 100,000 schools in America

    thats

    3.5 Million per school

    if each school has a thousand kids, then its about 3.5k per kid
