Ep. 130 - Communism or Corporatocracy: Pick Your Poison

from The 4th Box · host Bri

Left vs. Right or Communism vs. Corporate Cronyism. In this episode, we discuss the idea that today's elections have become a choice between two different systems of control: communism and corporatocracy. We compare the ideological roots of the modern Democratic Party with the principles of communism, examine the Republican Party's growing ties to corporate cronyism, and discuss how both models can concentrate power at the expense of individual liberty and constitutional government.To illustrate these parallels, we examine the growing number of elected officials affiliated with or endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America and compare modern socialist policies with the defining characteristics of communism. We then turn to the Republican Party, using the Supreme Court's Monsanto glyphosate decision and continued congressional funding for the Ukraine war as examples of how corporate interests and the military-industrial complex can shape public policy. Ultimately, we make the point that there really is no more "choosing the lesser of two evils." The only option remaining is to exit the system entirely.JP Sears " Meet Peter Thiel!": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsgrBZfK6PAIf you enjoy joining us every week, please add a rating, subscribe, and share with your friends.Please consider contributing to our effort via the link below or at www.thefourthbox.com/supportSTAY VIGILANT.
