You know fine well what it is, an authoritarian state with a great deal of control over the people living under it. You can argue that this authoritarianism is justifiable because it’s the best way to bring about communism, but it’s still auth left. Heck, we currently live under an extremely authoritarian right wing system, so it could be less authoritarian than the current system but still remain authoritarian in the full balance considering alternatives, and thus auth left.

I hope this helps clear things up for you.

You sure do love deep throating that boot, huh? Are you a small business?

It can be a form of harm reduction at best. For the few minutes it takes to postal vote, I feel like it’s worthwhile, personally.

It isn’t just ineptitude. Of course executives at Microsoft know that they could be good and be successful with consumers. But they don’t need to please consumers, they have far more important customers: the surveillance state, and the military industrial complex.

Once corporations have a near-monopoly position, they do not need to make good products anymore. Microsoft has enough money already to completely fail at everything for centuries and they’d be just fine. So they can focus on other goals, such as dismantling online anonymity for the benefit of the ruling class, who owns and controls Microsoft.

Anyone who wouldn’t go with China over Amerisrael a million times over is simply a victim of unbelievable volume of propaganda.

The US is by far the single worst, most oppressive country on the planet and it isn’t even close.

Canada is part of five eyes and is functionally a US vassal. There’s little difference between a Canadian tech company and an American tech company.

This also goes for most NATO countries

A far better alternative is to replace CEOs with democratically organized workplaces, where everyone has an equal say and equal reward. Also known as socialism.
