(17,301 posts)Not the crazy RepubliCON conservative, but a conservative like Obama. Someone who supports the inequality of the TPP and other "free" trade ridiculousness. But you don't mind if LGBT people get married and serve our country. It doesn't bother you if there are some restrictions against abortion. But let's Not have healthcare for all or fix the income inequality. That's just pie in the sky to you.
Capitalism over all is what you want and it's what Hillary wants and is offering. That you feel is a safe choice.
Listen, there really isn't anything called Marxism. Even Karl Marx said he wasn't a Marxist. It is a purgative term used to make socialism sounds real scary to voters who are afraid to evolve beyond capitalism. Just imagine what the world would be today if everyone had been afraid to evolve beyond feudalism and slavery?
You know it's going to happen. The world is going to have to pull itself out of capitalism because it is destroying the earth and our communities. It will eventually kill us all if we don't change. Why fight the inevitable? Capitalism is a worn out economic model designed in the same vein as feudalism and slavery. Those who evolved capitalism had No Other examples to go by. But we do have other models. We know where the Soviet Union went wrong. We can create a better economic system.
Voting for Hillary is a sad attempt to keep a corrupted economic system in place. It wont work. It will eventually fall.
