Oh, do please explain to us how worker ownership of the means of production works in the US military.
Wait, don't answer yet... I quickly have to get some popcorn. This is going to be good.
Taxes
Is there any other way?
Taxes? That's how the working class owns the means of production in the US military?
Am I talking to a damn chatbot here? It sure as hell sounds like it.
Yeah, think of it like a corporation. Instead of shares, you have votes and taxes.
Everyone in the military can vote on the actions of that military. Although, so can everyone not in the military. And the number of votes don't correspond to how many shares you can buy, because it's more equal than capitalism.
Oh... in that case, I'd like some proof that people in the US voted to invade Iraq and Afghanistan back in 2003.
Shouldn't be too difficult for a "very stable genius" like you, eh?

Americans vote for representatives who determine when and where the military gets involved. But even if it had been subject to a direct vote, the outcome would be the same.
Soooo... you are peddling bullcrap - people in the US don't get any say in what the US military does, and you tried to pass this off as "socialism."
What is it with you History Channel rejects pushing the most inane, MAGA-level garbage on this sub, eh?
So like, I prove you wrong, and you just go, "no"
Cool talk, bro
You had your chance to provide proof to back your claims, garbage peddler... you provided none.
