Please. ChatGPT is just regurgitating the mainstream party line. The same mainstream that brought American fascism to where it is today.

Your ideology is far stronger than your ability to understand history.
America has always been friendly to fascism and gave all the Nazis it could find postwar jobs. Operation paperclip. Unit 731

It's sad because Twitter has been destroyed by Musk. It's really bad there but in the other direction.
As a foreigner obviously I'm less interested in American dem vs repub squabbles but few here talk about anything else. Electoralism is boring in any country.

Capital itself is an example of Hegelian style i.e. a continuous process of zooming out from the simple entity of the commodity through a series of dualisms, each building on the previous one.
