Capitalist competition leads to monopoly by its very nature. You can "compete" best by gaining monopoly power and that power is self-sustaining. That power also enables company owners to pay their workers less for more work and will also operate internationally to impose corporate will on entire nations, with those monopolies tying the entire political system to their own interests.

The silver lining is that monopolies lay bare the practicality of central planning, a common goal of socialists in power. The system competes, eliminates its own competition, and still manages to more or less function via its own bureaucracies. Nationalize under socialists and you just cut out the redundant bureaucracies and begin making work respond to social need rather than profits.

Gotta purge the right people

Amazon has high turnover because their strategy is to burn through new graduates (the cheapest dev labor) before they get sick of the poor working conditions. This is identical to their warehouse employment strategy.

About 1/4 of Dems polled think marriage between races is a problem. Closer to 1/3 for Republicans, but I assume you'd concede that they're white supremacist.

Beyond the overt and Hollywood education-level white supremacy, there is institutional white supremacy baked onto our systems and Dems are 100% there to entrench it, as white supremacy still serves an economic function of creating marginalized subclasses.

Here's an easy example: remember the George Floyd protests? The ones against racist police violence? Where BLM and related groups around the country were demanding defunding for police and investment in communities? All of the major protests were in cities, cities run by Dem city councils. Almost none of them did anything in that direction at all, and those that did rolled it back. Now, most of those cities are pretending that defund did happen so that they can give even larger budgets to their still-racist (personally and structurally) police.

I can't think of a single Dem I've talked to about defund or BLM or even just structural racism that hasn't committed "baby's first thought about black people" errors that are largely just rationalizations they picked up from Dem politicians. To be fair, most of them have been white, but it's still embarrassing.

Its called the CCP in English.

It's called the CPC in English by China, and has been the whole time. Chinese people, including their government, also publish in English.

Folks that say CCP are demonstrating one of two things:

  1. They know better but want to play up little cold war word games in their favor.

  2. They don't know better and got easily propagandized by the former. Most people are like this.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghurs Starts on the 4th paragraph.

lol. lmao.

Follow your sources and compare them to the claims.

Don't need to know hebrew to know the holocaust was bad.

Neat antisemitism. The holocaust was carried out against people who spoke a variety of languages, including Germanic and Slavic languages, Yiddish, etc. Hebrew was often limited to specific religious events. Jewish people spoke the languages of the societies they were part of.

The corrolary, if you still wanted to make one, would be, "you don't have to speak Polish/German/Ukrainian/Russian/some baltic languages to know the holocaust was bad".

Still wouldn't fit, though, because the holocaust is extraordinarily well-evidenced, well-established fact. In contrast, the claims made about the treatment of Uyghurs are an active matter with dubious characters with clear anti-China interests making most of the claims and with very little evidence. It is germane to point out that most roads lead to a casually antisemitic anticommunist (literally part of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation) that can't speak or read Chinese, let alone Uyghur. That this guy is who is the trusted source for the ever-escalating but poorly-evidenced claims, including and up to genocide.
