what does this have to do with a country's might?

Saudi Arabia influenced Bush to do those horrible things because of their strategic oil reserves

The USA sure sounds mighty that they have such a high standard of living and are able to exploit other countries

There's nothing mighty about Cuba, maybe "honorable" for their traditional lifestyle, but that's about it.

You're literally changing words to make them fit some definition you have because you hate the American/Western system.

You clearly don't even understand what the petro-dollar is or what gives currency value.

How can I debate someone who doesn't have a classical understanding of economic terminology? That's what is frustrating about debating people on this forum.

We're basically speaking different languages

I appreciate the idealism but that's all it is. Grow up and read about the other side and why it's not as bad as you think. Or you're going to have a tough road ahead

You work? For money?

Filthy capitalist

we in a democratic oligarchy, late stage-capitalism

Direct Democracy a myth huh

yeah, pretty much

Thats exactly how yall sound

The US isn’t a direct democracy

I never said I didnt want people to work. In fact I want more people to work and less people making money out of money by leeching of society

Voting at a state level is direct

me as an Afghan looking through this thread, and white people talk like they are some experts of Afghanistan

we don't want representatives like the EC system putting in our votes, we want the people to put in votes directly to the candidate of their choosing (popular vote)

you should read about the stock market and how it actually works before making such a thread

your bigger issue should be with the federal reserve

How is investing leeching off society

You gotta spend money to make money

That's not what a capitalist is, a capitalist is someone who actually makes money off of someone elses work due to how we apply the construct of ownership

Yeah

Thats what you do for state and local elections

That's not what a capitalist is, a capitalist is someone who actually makes money off of someone elses work due to how we apply the construct of ownership

i think most of you just hate inflation but don't know what it is

or paying high % on your loans for no other reason than access to capital

that's true evil

Would be better to redraw the map than abolish it altogether

honestly it's not good we have people judging how well the economy is doing, not because of how people are doing, but because of how much money stock markets are making.

money is the only true religion in america

wealth is the will of god and the faith will increase your earnings

This thread f***ing reeks of fake smart
