    I recommend downloading a Live Linux distribution and booting it from a USB stick.

    This let’s you try out linux without making any changes to your Windows setup. It also lets you make sure linux detects all your computer’s hardware. If the live session works fine, the it will detect all that same hardware when you install it for real.

    It’s about understanding the difference between the dictionary definitions of “communism” and “capitalism” and how they are actually practiced in the real life.

    One of them is a system where the super rich hoard all the wealth and use the news media they own to keep the poor and middle classes fighting with each other while they, the rich, run off with all the f*cking money.

    And the other one is a system where the super rich hoard all the wealth and use the news media they own to keep the poor and middle classes fighting with each other while they, the rich, run off with all the f*cking money.

    “But wait a minute,” you ask. “Aren’t those the same thing” Yeah. Congratulations. You GOT it.

    Being against genocide isn’t a “political position.” It’s called “being a decent human being” and you should be against it, no matter who is doing it to who.

    Pointing out that Trump is the dumbest, cruelest president that has ever lived isn’t a "political position. " It’s called “using your fucking eyes and paying attention to what he’s doing.”

    I could go on and on about “things that are more obvious than a sunrise being labeled ‘political positions’” but those 2 things could keep us busy for years.

    Capitalism today looks nothing like capitalism in the 1950s. Back then, a family could easily survive on the income of one person. With money left over to pay for college education, a car and a house.

    That is not the situation today, where most Americans have NO retirement savings. Unless you’re redefining what capitalism IS, then that’s a problem caused by the people in charge (oligarchs).

    Karl Marx said a lot of things about socialism and collectivism a hundred years ago, but he’s not in charge anymore. The rich oligarchs who replaced him are saying this. You keep saying “but they SAID they were SOCIALISTS” and all I see is Sponge Bob’s eyes, filling up with tears because he just can’t believe that some rich assholes are lying to him.

    We have people in this country who claim to be “christians” who literally elected the anti-christ. Trump embodies ALL the seven deadly sins, but those folks are just fine with it. So let’s quit pretending that belief systems can’t be exploited.
