    Nothing you’ve said is backed by data, though. His actions regarding trying to restart USian industry as a reaction to the PRC playing the long game and winning by focusing on building up industry shows just how fragile financialized Capital is in the face of actual productive forces. His ego plays a part in his own actions, sure, but the reason he was even backed in the first place is because Capital wants him, or Kamala. It’s not a grand, unopposed system to turn him into a king, this reaks of idealist analysis and removes us from Materialism.

    I don’t have a problem with a Communist doing the same, I have a problem with the suggestion that it’s even possible. The system allows Trump to do what he wants because Capital wants him to. In countries where Leftists have won electorally, such as Chile or Burkina Faso, coups and millitary overthrows occur and go against the will of the people, favoring Capital instead.

    Enjoy your dab, though!
