What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

The Choice Isn’t Between Capitalism or Socialism

Leave it to Bloomberg to add confusion...



bloomberg.com

All countries practice a mix of both, and the U.S. isn’t the free-market leader…

The choice is between capitalism and socialism if we want to survive we will have to take the socialist road and that path is very clear... one only needs to read The Communist Manifesto instead of relying on the billionaires like Bloomberg and their over-paid pundits creating lies like this to confuse and disorient working people.


We have no “mix” of the two systems in this country. The Wall Street capitalist monopolists own the mines, mills, factories along with the transportation, banking, communications, health care and media industries.


The only reforms we have have been won through very difficult struggles with these Wall Street capitalist monopolists opposing us.


These capitalists have opposed everything from public education to Social Security.


And these Wall Street capitalist monopolists rob us of the reforms we need to live decent lives as they squander the wealth only workers have created on militarism and their wars... this is something Bloomberg does not want to talk about- these dirty imperialist wars.


Bloomberg would like us to believe capitalism is not responsible for the three main evils of the modern world: war, poverty and racism.


Bloomberg’s Wall Street crowd has given us Donald Trump and his band of the most vile and corrupt racists, fascists and warmongers.


When was the last time Bloomberg ever allowed a Communist to express their opinions in his publications or news outlets?


Bloomberg does not believe in democracy except for the very wealthiest of the capitalist oligarchs... this article is sheer lies and hypocrisy because the only choice we have is between capitalism and socialism... the two do not “mix.”


Those who choose capitalism choose exploitation and war.


Choosing socialism is choosing life and a better world free from exploitation, war, poverty and racism.


Bloomberg will never choose to forego exploitation and war because he profits from both.
Ask yourself if you have ever heard Marxist views like this permitted in any Bloomberg media:

Or views like this:

Or:

Working people are not provided access to voice their opinions by the likes of Bloomberg who is all riled and rattled now that his rotten capitalist system is being challenged by grassroots and rank-and-file activists and common people who realize socialism is the way out of this capitalist mess.
