No. "Socialized medicine" is not "people owning the means of production"

If some recruiter ghosted you, don't bother them and move on

Since I work from home... this is totally acceptable.

What's so bad about the laundry if you have a washing machine?

How is democracy related to ownership?

I'd say it's post irony

Since most of the machines I need to backup are VMs, I do it by the means of hypervisor. I'd use borg scheduled in crontab for physical ones.

The next election is the mechanism that makes them fulfill the promises they’ve made during their campaign

Why are you saying this? Who's the target audience of this bs? What makes you say that if it's demonstrably false? Elected politicians don't keep their promises, they just don't.

If your politicians aren’t afraid of losing the next election

Is Trump scared to loose the next election?

what is wrong with me hiring someone to hire more people?

How do you fight class war?

That we elected

Not to mention that elected politicians aren't controlled by the people, most of the government positions aren't elected.

Democracy is when Government is owned by people. People own government through democracy. Great argument.

If I ask a friend to water my plants, do I no longer own the plants?

If you ask government to persecute people who break the law, do you no longer own people who break the law?

Peace in Ukraine.

Moe is bourgeois.

Is international law important or not?

Socialism is the complete opposite of that. Socialism destroys horizontal connections and institution of family.

America pays for like 15% of Ukraine's military apparatus.

They fit almost all of the criteria of communism. If Democratic Kampuchea haven't achieved communism, it was very-very close to it. Much closer than any other country. If you disagree, please provide something substantial. What are the necessary criteria for communism that Democratic Kampuchea didn't fit?

"More fairly" means "more in a way that the said government sees fit"
