  • A good dictatorship, one that truly serves the people and removes the influence of the elite, could be the only way to actually return power to the masses.

    A “good dictatorship” in the Dark Enlightenment sense of the people skulking around the White House right now, or a “good dictatorship” in the Marxist sense?

  • why would funding campaigns matter if the vote wasn’t real?

    In capitalist states, campaign finance is one of the reasons why voting isn’t, in practical terms, real.

  • You really need to specify what state you’re talking about and when. If you’re talking about a capitalist state, then the answer is the capitalist class runs it. If you’re talking about the US specifically, then I’ll recycle my previous answer:

    It’s not wrong to say regulatory capture is a problem, it just doesn’t go far enough. The US government was never not captured by the bourgeoisie, because the US was born of a bourgeois revolution[1]. The wealthy, white, male, land-owning, largely slave-owning Founding Fathers constructed a bourgeois state with “checks and balances” against the “tyranny of the majority”. It was never meant to represent the majority—the working class—and it never has, despite eventually allowing women and non-whites (at least those not disenfranchised by the carceral system) to vote.

  • When you do a search, the default is “All,” which is why your search results had a bit of everything. If you had chosen “Users” or “Communities” then you would have gotten only users or only communities, respectively.

  • That’s what the media told us, anyway. Maybe it’s somewhat true, but oligarchs buy the media all the time, not because they’re especially profitable but because they’re especially influential. The slippery slope of the oligarchy media model

  • Musk isn’t confused at all. He’s been lying about believing in free speech this whole time. He’s an oligarch—literally the richest person in the world—who bought 𝕏itter in order to control speech.

    Edit to add: Dollars to donuts, the people still putting up with Musk’s shit at 𝕏itter are the H-1B workers just trying to survive without getting deported. Two years ago: Why foreign workers in the US are especially vulnerable to the Twitter turmoil

    Earlier this week, Elon Musk gave remaining staff an ultimatum to commit to working “hardcore” or to leave. But some staff who would like to leave the company feel like they can’t because doing so, may leave them no choice but to depart the US, multiple former Twitter employees told CNN.
