According to a study from the National Alliance to End Homelessness, it would cost the government an additional $9.6 billion per year to end homelessness in the US by providing Rapid Re-Housing / Permanent Supportive Housing to individuals in shelters.

But sure, this is better.
Breaking news: ICE expects to spend $38.3 billion on its plan to acquire warehouses across the U.S. and retrofit them into immigrant detention centers that can hold tens of thousands of people, according to agency documents.

Obviously I was saving my favorite one for today, which is George R. Binks, Jar Jar’s dad, who tried to end his life specifically because he hated his son and couldn’t fathom living on a deserted island with him any longer.

It doesn't even exclude that 3%; it means that the owner class *does not exist* as they don't own the things that made them the owner class anymore

Youre correct, I just was trying to avoid nitty gritty and trying to make a quick point and get total the meat of manual v desk argument.

It is a dictatorship of the proletariat because the people have final and ultimate authority; no one can override the will of the people.

One quarter of the presidencies of this century have had minority victories, and frequently the senate and house have minority rule. A different state.

Asceticism is not a communist belief, so theres no reason we should do that. When Marx talks about private property hes talking about roads and ships and factories, not your furniture and shirts and fridge

There are some voices that are a lot louder than others in said democracy; Musk and Thiel and Mark Cuban's voice get to be a lot louder than yours or mine

That is what it means though; proletariat means you work for a living, and lots of desk jobs do. 150 years ago that meant mostly manual labor, but times and tools change but the relation of work to power and capital has not.

Who do you think would be the oppressed group in this situation. The point is that there is none, as we're all in it together.

Yes, it is meant to be vast swathes of the population. It is meant to be the majority. It has always meant that, and always been the meaning since Marx just put pen to paper.

It's a play on words based; you can't have a tyranny of "everyone gets a voice".

If youre the VP of some company sure, but I dont think thats what youre getting at
February 13, 2026 at 6:49 PM
No in fact I would not

I dont say this strictly as a dunk, to be clear, I say this because I think you simply don't have the knowledge of what the term actually means and are jumping to inaccurate conclusions.

What do you think dictatorship of the proletariat means

Who do you think would be oppressed under this

If a candidate promises to hunt, to actually use the powers at their disposal to enact meaningful change, *and they can be trusted to do so*, I'm willing to pinch my nose despite othet disagreements, but Newsom veey clearly is only concerned about Newsom. He wants to go out and drink and never fire.

One of the key things about a silver bullet is you need to fire it; werewolf, wolf, or were it only works once out of the gun.

Biden's admin only seemed tk think about shooting once the shot was ruined and there was no chance to hit the target after years of polishing the barrel.

If you combine both of their totals they still lose to him, that's a landslide pal.
February 13, 2026 at 3:20 AM
He received more votes than any candidate for the office since 1961, in a 3 way race he had more than 50%, it is extremely a landslide.
