Government is good. It just doesn't make any damn sense the way you people have fashioned your rhetoric and belief system.
Government is your vote. It's your power. It's your democracy. It's your self-governance.
Private industry is...just rich people controlling you and manipulating you and exploiting you for profit.
Government doesn't operate for the profit of rich people. It operates for the benefit of society. For public good. There's literally nothing a private company does that government doesn't do better.
And all of the rhetoric about "freedom" is fake. You are the authoritarian people. Studies show time and again rightwingers are the authoritarians. You're the side of the police. Of law enforcement. Of violence. Of oppression. You all openly celebrate state violence and oppression out of one side of your mouth, and then cry "OMG but freedom" out of the other.
The only time government is oppressive or violent is when rightwingers control it. You put everyone in prison. Make everything illegal. Serve the rich. Turn everyone to slaves
You're evil. And government is good. And leftwing government is good. And it does great things. Post offices and libraries are socialism. Plain old socialism, right there. The post office is full socialism. Socialism means the industry is collectivized, or nationalized, rather than privately owned.
All over the world there's healthcare that's nationalized. The world doesn't end. It just does good things as opposed to our private healthcare nightmare here in the US
It's just sad because our society could be nice but rightwingers stop it from being so
Privatization is the evil. Government giving all of these industries to rich people just because they're rich is what's evil. And letting them control and exploit and manipulate the population. It's just evil. And it's what you support. You all support evil. You all are evil

NASA. That's socialism. When we went up to the moon. That was socialism
Carson Jones
You guys cry about "freedom" and "tyranny" as if government is gonna do that. Then you decry leftwing prosecutors or judges as being "soft on crime". It's the most dishonest projection imaginable.
Josiah Reed
And none of you believe any of it. None of you believe "the left is tyranny". You all know outright that you're the legitimate, full-on side of tyranny

This is adorable Hey, just this time let's all blithely agree with him. It can be like a zoo exhibit.
No, the leftwing wants to seize the assets of the rich and redistribute them to the poor and working class. And to nationalize AKA collectivize private industry, so there are no big rich people. I'm sure you know that. I'm sure you must know that, so why you'd write this or make this meme is beyond me.
It doesn't make any sense how you people interact with the world. You're sitting here openly arguing against taxing the rich, but then saying somehow it's "the left that wants more wealth inequality". It's so backwards and irrational and way out of the bonds of anything that even could possibly make sense
Leo Rivera
>No, the leftwing wants to seize the assets of the rich Then start with the government. They spend 4 trillion per year.
>There's literally nothing a private company does that government doesn't do better. Food, cars, cellphones, housing, education, transportation, services in general are infinitely better in the private sector. You just have to pay for it, instead of expecting someone else to do it for you or - god forbid - feeling entitled to someone else's labor. Surely you're kidding if you prefer the government version of any of the above. Even your champagne socialist friends put their kids in private schools.
Evan Scott
No, "the government" is not a rich person. "The government" is good. "The government" provides your infrastructure, your roads, your schools, your private property and everything that you and everyone else unanimously agree are things that you need.
You wouldn't even be able to own anything a la capitalism without private property laws
Christopher Garcia

No. The private sector is just rich people exploiting workers. The private sector IS where rich people feel entitled to other people's labor, rather than working for themselves
See, like every rightwinger, EVERYTHING you're saying is the polar, factual opposite of truth
You're saying "the left is the side of taking other people's labor" or something a la the usual republican rhetoric. But the right is the side of taking people's labor. Capitalism is the side of taking people's labor, and through government too. Through private property laws. Landlords CEOs Shareholders Employers Speculators Bankers These are all institutions empowered by capitalist governments and they exist to leech off of the working class. And there's factually no reason why maintaining this leech class (AKA capitalism) is better than government handling things not-for-profit
Nolan Ross
>No, "the government" is not a rich person. It is the richest entity in the entire world. Taxing anyone more makes it richer. If you can't fix it with 4 trillion per year then you won't ever fix it. Communists need to go after the wealthy, the government, and leave people alone.
>No. The private sector is just rich people exploiting workers. The government spends more than all the corporations combined each year. Someone is being exploited here.
This needs to be edited to remove the gay Marx quote and add jews as top 1%
Colton Stewart
So a bunch of poor thieves will take money from a bunch of rich thieves and then instead of enjoying the money they stole, they will give it to poorer people and get nothing out of it?
lol
Kayden Perez
The government is not operated for profit, it's operated for public good, by your vote. It's literally your power against the wealthy
Jordan Powell
The government doesn't operate for profit, only private industry operates for profit
Jace Roberts
Super smart!
Brayden Jones
But it's not jews. It's people of all different races and backgrounds and the majority of the wealth is held by white men of a ethnically christian background. And that includes all of the wealthiest people too
Levi Sullivan
who voted for tens of millions of third world immigrants, explain how that happened
Dylan Brooks
There's no profit in government. None at all
Christian Green
>There's no profit in government. None at all Everything the government takes from the wealthy goes back to the people in one sense or another. It even gives back more than it takes often, which is how we get debt.
Benjamin Gutierrez
>The private sector is just rich people exploiting workers. The private sector IS where rich people feel entitled to other people's labor, rather than working for themselves Not sure I agree with your argument. In the private sector, I sell my labor for a mutually agreed price between myself and the employer. I am free to quit at any time. Meanwhile, the government takes roughly half of my paycheck (between taxes and social security), in turn providing me with piss-poor health services and public transportation that is always on strike, forcing me to use the private sector anyway to meet my needs. If I disagree with the tax amount, tough shit. The only one exploiting me in this situation is the government.
Jaxon Thompson
That's so awesome buddy!
Liam Barnes
It's not an "argument" or a "debate". That's factually what it is. Rich people not doing work and instead profiting off of other people's labor. That's factually what your system, capitalism, is. So you can support it or not support it, but you don't get to sit there and argue with me that's not what it is
Jack Ward
>The government is not operated for profit Great so why does it need 4 trillion dollars?
Nolan Williams
>Rich people not doing work and instead profiting off of other people's labor. That's the government, they make more money per year than any other entity. The one stealing labor is the government.
Matthew Perry
There's no profit in any of the money the government takes or spends or has. This is something that's factually true. The government doesn't profit
