No you don't understand, they are doing it to get into college! /sarcasm

If we had free college tuition and universal healthcare, there would be no one to fight the pedo oligarchs' wars for them.

Which is why republicans and centrist democrats oppose both free tuition and universal healthcare.

That's an angle that more people should talk about, honestly.

The mistreatment of the American populace isn't just to keep a steady supply of cheap labor for the rich people's investments, it's to keep a steady supply of cheap lives for the government to do their dirty work.

My generation's dead and disabled veterans fell in service to that sweet Iraqi oil. Oh and the Saddam hidden underground meme, can't forget that one!

It's almost like soldiers are not immune to the material conditions that help perpetuate the capitalist empire......?

Historically one of the most important missions for any revolution is to spread class consciousness among the imperialist troops.

I don't really know how people really expect a revolution to be possible while withholding class solidarity from the only people who have military training.
