if the regime is beneficial to the United States, then there is democracy there.
If it is not profitable, there is totalitarianism.
If there is a choice in the elections among Hitler, Goebbels and Goering, this is real democracy, and those who do not think so are totalitarian totalitarists!.
Fascist Latvia, where russians who were born and lived there all their lives are not citizens under fascist law, is a democracy. Because it is beneficial to the USA.
Nazi Ukraine, where any opposition has been destroyed and the destruction is often physical death, is also a true democracy, beneficial to the United States, or rather to the financial capital of the United States and the military-industrial complex serving it.
But compared to all of the above, the soft liberal Putin is a bloody dictator, yeah.
P.S. And yes, it would be better for humanity if the USSR had won the Cold War. At least the threat of a nuclear holocaust and the destruction of the civilization of mankind would be destroyed, because it is unprofitable and unnecessary for socialists to produce weapons of mass destruction. Their goal is not profit at any cost, but the well-being of all mankind.
It has never been a worse oligarchy than it is today with 35 years of GOP giveaway to the rich taxes and horrible propaganda... poor America.America has been an oligarchy since the time of Ol' Hickory:

I am sorry about Latvia but it is a democracy and you lose. It's not incredible that they have some bad feelings about the Russians lol. It certainly is not throwing them into concentration camps or sending them to Siberia is it, brainwashed functional moron?if the regime is beneficial to the United States, then there is democracy there.

I just gave you some empirical facts and evidence, that this is, largely hyperbole. It is not based on factual economic evidence.your love and admiration for big oil which is gouging the hell out of us is admirable I'm sure, dupe..
Most of these issues, regardless of how either party stands on them, are either decided in the courts, or controlled by the FED, they have nothing to do with what the political parties do.I also found it hard to believe...

Or we could just amend intellectual property laws, vis-à-vis certain classes of drugs, or what the government is willing to pay for toward drug research etc. There is a lot of things the government could do besides price controls. . .
How did governmental support for students denied equal opportunities for generations contribute to the rising cost of college?
fee.org
"Ultimately, costs at public universities rose 213 percent between 1980 and 2018."How Government Broke The Market
"In the early 1900s, most professions did not require a college degree.
But in 1944, Congress passed the G.I. Bill, extending tuition and living assistance to veterans. This action exploded enrollment with over 8 million veterans signing up. The sudden boom led to states expanding college services with resources they had in a booming post-war economy.
Next came the National Defense Student Loan program, which did for civilians what the G.I. Bill did for veterans. The Higher Education Act of 1965 then set-up federal scholarships and low-interest loans for students. Finally, in 1978 Congress passed the Middle Income Student Assistance Act, which made all undergraduates eligible for subsidized loans.
A former education secretary warned that government aid for students would lead directly to an increase in college costs (known as the Bennett hypothesis) and his predictions came true. The Federal Reserve found that for every dollar in student aid, tuition increases 65 cents.
Ultimately, costs at public universities rose 213 percent between 1980 and 2018.
All evidence points to government-subsidization as the real culprit behind rising tuition costs.
Progressives often try to blame these tuition increases on state budgetary cuts, claiming schools have had to raise their rates in response. But the claim doesn’t wash.
In fact, nine states have increased their per-student funding in the past 10 years and across all of them, tuition still increased. Furthermore, a Harvard study comparing higher education programs that accept federal aid to those that do not found that tuition at aid-accepting programs grew much faster.
All evidence points to government-subsidization as the real culprit behind rising tuition costs. And this is exactly what basic economics teaches us to expect."
The Basic Economics
"The law of demand says that at higher prices, buyers will demand less of a product. And the law of supply says that at higher prices, sellers will supply more of a product. These two laws interact to determine the actual price of goods in a free market.. . . "
How Big Government Broke Higher Education: The Student Loan Bubble, Explained
In his book "Bubbles and Crashes," author Brent Goldfarb says all bubbles tend to have three qualities. The student loan bubble checks all three boxes.

Chomsky's been the most important public intellectual in the last hundred years.
When he says Republicans pose a threat to US Democracy unlike any other we've ever seen, we should consider the likelihood he's correct (again.)
50% of inflation is price gouging. And there is no election fraud or vaccine fraud, great job keeping the pandemic strong and ongoing dumb ass dupe.... And by the way only Democrats are trying to do anything about your complaints so you are a total idiot because you don't live in reality. You live in GOP propaganda world.I just gave you some empirical facts and evidence, that this is, largely hyperbole. It is not based on factual economic evidence.
Most of the problem lay at the feet of the global technocrats, the world bank, the federal reserve, the WEF and folks like that, not the seven sisters. I am about done with you, like most folks have observed, you only project arguments from emotional TEE VEE propaganda, not actual reality based politics or economics.
There are far worse offenders that really are "gouging the hell," out of consumers, like BIG TECH, BIG PHARMA, and the Education sectors of society. Hell, BIG PHARMA had, for the past two years, even maneuvered a plan, to require folks to take their fraudulent, untested, poisons, all paid for by the tax payers. Talk about, "gouging."
If you have an apple product, or a smart phone, they are a far bigger offenders. If you enrolled in classes at a university, had to buy books, they are a far worse offender. If you rely on health care products, they are far worse. All of these are clients of the government, with high paid lobbyists plying both parties.
Energy is the life blood of the economy silly. Without proper investment into it, the whole thing collapses.
You are beyond hope to reach, clearly.
You're conflating a historic president with a "somewhat less than historic presidency." Obama promised hope and change while accepting $103 million from Goldman Sachs in 2008. (Maybe that's why he didn't end Payday Loans like he promised?) Democrat lost more than1000 seats in state legislatures, governors' mansions, and congress during his time in office. He was never uppity or pushy; he was bought and payed for just like every other POTUS in recent history.Like I said, as the first black president he didn't want to be uppity or pushy. At any rate it was better at the time to move forward, but I agree with you that our oligarchy should be cleaned up and guess what it is the Democrats who will do it if they ever get power with regulation and better oversight. Anybody who votes for Republicans is out of their minds
well of course he was obstructed by the GOP all the way through. He was lucky to get like 33 days in session with 60 votes in the Senate and was able to pass the Senate version of Obamacare. Besides that I don't think he passed anything lol. Is that his fault? Nope it's the GOP and the worst voters in the modern world. By far. So did you say you don't vote for either major party?You're conflating a historic president with a "somewhat less than historic presidency." Obama promised hope and change while accepting $103 million from Goldman Sachs in 2008. (Maybe that's why he didn't end Payday Loans like he promised?) Democrat lost more than1000 seats in state legislatures, governors' mansions, and congress during his time in office. He was never uppity or pushy; he was bought and payed for just like every other POTUS in recent history.

Fool.50% of inflation is price gouging. And there is no election fraud or vaccine fraud, great job keeping the pandemic strong and ongoing dumb ass dupe....

About the only thing that has gone up higher in cost than college tuition these last 40 years, is healthcare cost."Ultimately, costs at public universities rose 213 percent between 1980 and 2018."
Value of $1 from 1980 to 2022
$1 in 1980 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $3.60 today, an increase of $2.60 over 42 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.10% per year between 1980 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 260.20%.
This means that today's prices are 3.60 times higher than average prices since 1980, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. A dollar today only buys 27.778% of what it could buy back then.
The inflation rate in 1980 was 13.50%. The current inflation rate compared to last year is now 8.20%. If this number holds, $1 today will be equivalent in buying power to $1.08 next year. The current inflation rate page gives more detail on the latest inflation rates.
So the increase in college costs from 1980 to 2018 is less than the rate of inflation.
what is this $103 million BS? Whatever the whole thing is a conspiracy without evidence as usualYou're conflating a historic president with a "somewhat less than historic presidency." Obama promised hope and change while accepting $103 million from Goldman Sachs in 2008. (Maybe that's why he didn't end Payday Loans like he promised?) Democrat lost more than1000 seats in state legislatures, governors' mansions, and congress during his time in office.

BS. Brainwashed functional moron.Fool.
That is all about Ronald Reagan going after free tuition like he did starting in California in 1964 for God's sake. We have had GOP national tax rates since 1982 when Reagan cut the top rate from 70 to 50 and had success. But when he went out the door and cut it to 28% we have not had enough money to invest in Americans, and the rich have become ridiculously rich. Thanks GOP and dupes like you. You're welcomel for Obamacare. Everything you know is wrong...About the only thing that has gone up higher in cost than college tuition these last 40 years, is healthcare cost.
Nonsense, college costs have increased less than the cost of living and healthcare costs have increased because there are so many more treatments now than there were then. We are living longer but those extra years are very expensive.About the only thing that has gone up higher in cost than college tuition these last 40 years, is healthcare cost.
I wrote what I wrote.
I agree with you, what he has written and lectured about in the past, was great, but that is the past. What he has said now? Is the present. His time is done. He is now irrelevant.
Nope, he has lost his damn mind.
Chomsky? Is now the reactionary, and the very thing he has made his whole life about fighting. He no longer has any resemblance to a, "libertarian socialist," he is full on STATIST boot-licker.
All you need to do is watch the interview, and read the comments, any intelligent person knows, he is either a bought man, or living in fear with no integrity.
"Mr. Goebbels , tell us how you really feel about Jewish people?"
"The same way Chomsky feels about the unvaccinated."
10:12 they're pulling out because it's "impossible to survive"...? why are so many seeking legal action against certain "new" requirements then?
13:37 opposing a government requiring medical interventions with effects that are irreversible and unknown past the 10 month mark, is the same as seeing traffic laws as overreach. people refusing to comply must be removed from society, but they must feed themselves. incredible.
Reagan kicked it off, but Democrats did nothing to reverse the trend:It has never been a worse oligarchy than it is today with 35 years of GOP giveaway to the rich taxes and horrible propaganda... poor America.
Wrong. Life expectancy has been falling in the US for the past few years.Nonsense, college costs have increased less than the cost of living and healthcare costs have increased because there are so many more treatments now than there were then. We are living longer but those extra years are very expensive.
