No I'm not.
I'm for a radical rejection of globalist stupidity.
that's a massive change.
that's the conservative change that is actually happening.

The "Straussian" approach to the history of political philosophy is articulated primarily in the writings of Leo Strauss. Strauss wrote extremely careful, detailed studies of canonical philosophical works along with essays explaining his approach (e.g. Strauss 1952, 1953, 1959, 1983, 1989a, b).The most controversial claim Strauss made was that philosophers in the past did not always ... - link.springer.com

Custar's Last Stand
Labor wages in the US used to be coupled with profits. That all ended in the '80s. We all witnessed how fast the U.S. Maritime Alliance gave a 62% wage increase to the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) once they threatened to shut down the supply chain. Why is that?
Workers own their production in Marxism. Zoomers were born into a gig economy in which workers own nothing, they rent everything. It's called neo-feudalism, a step back from capitalism. The upcoming global market collapse is expected to be as bad or worse than 1929. There was a communist party in the US going back to 1848, They're called the Forty-Eighters.

No, workers own nothing in Marxism. The government and central committee decide everything. In a Communist economy, the economy increasingly is controlled by a black market. Everyone who can goes around the government, not to or through it, to get things done. The black marketers don't stand in the bread line, they have a connection and get theirs up front. Barter often becomes a staple and way of economic life. Corruption and vice are everywhere permeating every nook and cranny of the market.
Workers soon realize that working hard gets them nothing so they stop doing that. They do half-assed work and only as much as they have to, to get by. Stealing from the government for self-enrichment becomes a societal norm.
At least in a gig economy the worker gets to keep what they earn rather than have the government confiscate it. While I do bother to pay taxes on my gig electrical work, if I were doing more of that, I'd be making a pretty damn good living at it. My last service panel install was about 24 hours of work and I netted $3000. After paying off the materials and help it worked out to about $45 an hour. So, you can't say a gig economy doesn't work. It does, you just have to have more than basic skills like driving Uber or being a pizza delivery boy to rake in the cash in it.

we don;t need the communist party.
we just need tariffs.
it really is this simple.
you're getting sucked into stupid land.
get the spooks out of your ear, dummy.
You show how little Americans know about Marxism and Communism. The Southeast US was hit with 2 huge hurricanes, yet the US government did little to nothing for them. In the China model, the CCP would send in 200,000 workers to get everyone who wanted out relocated to new housing and given all the necessities as another 200,000 workers rebuilt the entire region.
Then the relocated residents would be given a choice to return to their new home or stay in their house away from the hurricane belt. The China model takes care of the people, it's nowhere near perfect but you won't see tent cities or decaying infrastructure anywhere in a country of 1.5 billion people. Everything is built for the 21st century.
Anyone in China who wants a house or job is given one. Local government takes care of that and centralized government only gets involved when things are too large for the municipality to deal with. During covid, 20 million Chinese workers lost their job. Anyone who wanted a new job was given one. Some chose to leave the city and go back to their farm.

When did it become the federal government's responsibility to provide everything to people with property losses? That's what insurance is for. That's what preparation for these sorts of storms is for. If someone didn't prepare and insure themselves, that's on them. The federal government isn't our fucking parents.
As for what fascist--not communist, fascist--China would or wouldn't do, that's not relevant. But let's go with your example for a moment. The federal government DRAFTS--you know, like the military would in a war--200,000 workers from wherever, pays them a pittance, and then tells them to fix all the hurricane damage. The workers get no say. They aren't paid fairly for their work.
I'd expect most to do half assed labor at a lethargic level because they don't want to be there. Of course, forced relocation of the population isn't going to be taken happily either...
Yea, so they go or stay. Their new home is one built to government specs that were largely ignored so the workmanship is shoddy and shitty. The next storm comes and their home is trashed again. China builds all kinds of fucked up, half assed, shit like that all the time.
Wants? Try is forced to take a job. During COVID, the government welded doors to apartments in high rises shut so the occupant(s) couldn't leave. China is fucked up like a soup sandwich, and you want the here? You are fucking insane!
