communism wins again

Take off the tinfoil hat. "My country" is not in constant war. I'm not American. In any case, people just use my data to send ads my way on Facebook. If you want a totalitarian state, look at the conditions in North Korea or China. Hell, even Cuba - they barely let people use the internet at all.

I was talking about the capitalist country on earth. Also, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. It serves Google's interests to hoard as much data on their users as possible. It's definitely in their power to do so. Besides that, if you want authoritarianism, look no further than the U. S. incarceration rate or, dare I repeat myself, the NSA.

Cuba by the way has a higher quality of life than the U. S. despite having an 18x smaller GDP per capita.

I don't think socialists even understand their own conception of state. They just cling to a bunch of flowery language about "cooperation" and false promises of a utopia.

The state as we know it serves to protect the private property of the bourgeoisie through force, eg. through the police. Liberal democracies are only intermediaries between them and the proletariat. What's your definition of gubermint? Maybe if you weren't a boomer stuck in the cold war you'd have an understanding going further than cliches.

History is the ultimate rebuttal though. I don't need to do much to actually refute your ideas as nonsense because the past 120 years or so have done that for me. Socialism/communism/whatever-ism does not work and people don't want it.

Which is why drumrolls most Russians want the USSR back.

Settle down.

lmao conservatives triggered and owned. tone down the formality perhaps.
