      To me this meme comes across as fascist , rascist and prejudiced.

      You have become 200%, what you supposedly hate so much.

      That’s…capitalism. In a profit-seeking society, there’s no greater profit than taking control of the society’s government. There’s no such thing as “crony capitalism” if that is what you are referring to. It’s all a part of the game. Any sufficiently powerful company will eventually attempt to manipulate the law and regulations for their own gain.

      The Soviet Union is basically what it would look like if a single corporation managed to completely take over society and push out all competition. That’s why some people argue that it was a type of society known as “state capitalist”, instead of communist, since they never actually did away with money, class, or hierarchy.

      Another good example would be “Buy-N-Large” from the movie “Wall-E”, although from reading the backstory on them, it seems like a more benevolent entity than we would expect from such a monopoly. Faced with declining profits from a failing economy and environment due to their grip on it, they implemented a system of universal income so that they could continue to have customers. They slowly became the world government and effectively operated as one.

      This could apply to any number of countries and it’s getting kinda tedious. It’s like a bunch of American teenagers just learned that their history books aren’t telling the whole story and literally cannot stop talking about it. You hit college level history, congratulations, good for you champ.

          I dare you to read through my profile to see how unique half of what I write is. I post this type of thing all the time because we are WAGE SLAVES to a terrorist empire that makes the nazis look cute and ethical. The ones attacking this type of message are the unoriginal LLM bots. Not saying you in particular.

          edit: I don’t know the exact toll, so lets say the Nazis killed 30 million. You shouldn’t assume that the American empire isn’t worse just because you haven’t learned about whats the US has done. There are active genocides and historic ones they have massively been involved with(or orchestrated). Lot’s of wars without valid cause, and economic murder.
