npub1lvu7tg5s64xvxnlvh5mjh5w6kjltcr0e6g2snu53a65tze8mf7ws463ua2 (npub1lvu…3ua2) npub1ccn4ec2s2dmhzu4cthwhy56hcsswk4z3j3kvhlhuvp96phm9zjrqj6czwu (npub1ccn…czwu) So, if the USA military is socialism (it's not) then that just means there's a flavor of socialism which I also reject.
If the USA military is a capitalistic venture (just ask Lockheed Martin and Boeing how socialistic it is) then it is one more flavor of capitalism which I reject.
Either way, there's no democracy in the running of weapons manufacturing companies, which have purchased our government, thereby doing away with any putative democratic control over the military which taxpayers might theoretically exercise. Which goes back to my original statement.
