You want a better whitepill? Just go through the articles posted here

At first glance this website might look like dailystormer. While he does write the articles humorously, these articles do have facts in them. He has recently been in Tim Murdock's podcast

Listen to the podcast and any sorts of pessimism inside you will fade away.

I actually read him daily and I've watched the interview.

Great. You know shit is about to hit the fan when both sides are expecting it to.

I second Tim Murdock. He's great.

Indeed and not only does he provide good analysis of everything, his podcasts have that positivity we all need. He is not just some white pill merchant as he explains why we'll eventually get what we want.

US infrastructure is in disrepair despite America having the largest budget in the world.

The private sector now has a more bloated and inefficient bureaucracy than the USSR ever had.

Nah. The US private companies are the only things that keep the lights on. The US government is phenomenally corrupt. The US private sector is quite innovative and productive.

However, they have increasingly become monopolistic and thus less eager to innovate. Furthermore, thanks to the Fed's QE and easy money policies, many corporations now see that it's easier to make money on the stock market and bond market than through innovation.

That being said, you can't fault the private sector for price gouging as corporate capture of the state allows them to.

The US private sector is quite innovative and productive.

I'm so sick and tired of this myth. I've corrected you on this several times now and you keep spouting these neoliberal talking points. Almost all major innovation in the last 50 years came from the US government: https://marianamazzucato.com/books/the-entrepreneurial-state

I don't ever want to see this neoliberal bullshit again.

That being said, you can't fault the private sector for price gouging as corporate capture of the state allows them to.

Yeah, we can't fault them for being total pieces of shit. Fuck off, you corporate bootlicker.

Fuck off, you corporate bootlicker

You don't have to act like a feral nigger just because you don't agree with what I said.

The US military-led many innovations but what is often forgotten is that while the military finances projects, the actual work, and research are generally done by private corporations like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics.

The transistor was created by Bell labs which is now part of AT&T, stealth tech was developed by Lockheed Martin and the guided munitions revolution was led by Raytheon and other private companies.

The computer was first made by Allen Turing during ww2, but since then it has been advanced and upgraded by private corporations like Intel, Apple, and AMD.

The microchip revolution has been led by private companies with TSMC taking the lead in shrinking chip size to 5 nm.

The modern medical industry was created by Bayer in Germany. Modern ammonia production was created by Fritz Haber.

The modern chemical industry was created by BASF in Germany and Dupont in the US. The railroad revolution was led by Vanderbilt.

The automobile industry was created by Rolls-Royce in Britain and Ford in the US.

The Petroleum industry was created by John D. Rockefeller in the US.

Similarly, there are countless innovations and breakthroughs you and I have never even heard of being made every year by private corporations in fields as varied as Biotechnology to nanomaterials and materials science.

Universities get most of their research grants from the private sector. The reason Germany was able to develop such a competent scientific establishment so fast after 1871 was because they were the first to fully integrate the university establishment with the industrial establishment.

You should read less communist propagandists like Noam Chomsky and actually look at the history behind various industrial sectors.

Adolf Hitler, the man you hold as your idol loved private enterprise and privatized most of Germany's national industries. He correctly saw that private enterprise was the road to innovation and progress.

The USSR fell behind the US because it never privatized its industries or gave them autonomy.

You don't have to act like a feral nigger just because you don't agree with what I said.

That's because I've corrected you over and over again. Maybe your skull shouldn't be so thick?

The US military-led many innovations but what is often forgotten is that while the military finances projects, the actual work, and research are generally done by private corporations like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics.

Most of those companies are integrated within the military-industrial complex. They have US government intervention written all over them.

The transistor was created by Bell labs which is now part of AT&T, stealth tech was developed by Lockheed Martin and the guided munitions revolution was led by Raytheon and other private companies.

This is literally a talking point from Alan Greenspan, and what he never mentioned is that they had a government-granted monopoly. So much for competition and the wonders of the free market.

The computer was first made by Allen Turing during ww2, but since then it has been advanced and upgraded by private corporations like Intel, Apple, and AMD.

Most of the technology that makes up computers and smartphones was invented by the US government. The internet is another example.

The microchip revolution has been led by private companies with TSMC taking the lead in shrinking chip size to 5 nm.

The US government played a crucial role as well: https://fedtechmagazine.com/article/2018/09/how-government-helped-spur-microchip-industry

Similarly, there are countless innovations and breakthroughs you and I have never even heard of being made every year by private corporations in fields as varied as Biotechnology to nanomaterials and materials science.

And how many of those companies began with the help of governments?

Universities get most of their research grants from the private sector.

And the private sector gets tons of grants, subsidies, bailouts, and monopolies from the government.

The reason Germany was able to develop such a competent scientific establishment so fast after 1871 was because they were the first to fully integrate the university establishment with the industrial establishment.

Yes, and why did that happen? Because Germany originally had a state-owned financial sector that guided capital towards industrial -- and military -- development and expansion. They invented state capitalism. Thorstein Veblen wrote extensively on that. China uses a very similar model.

You should read less communist propagandists like Noam Chomsky and actually look at the history behind various industrial sectors.

Says the guy who regurgitates Wall Street -- and predominately Jewish -- propaganda. And for what it's worth, I don't get my information on this subject from Noam Chomsky. I get it, partly, from Michael Hudson, who's infinitely more knowledgeable than the neoliberal hacks you rely on.

Adolf Hitler, the man you hold as your idol loved private enterprise and privatized most of Germany's national industries. He correctly saw that private enterprise was the road to innovation and progress.

What you fail to mention is that the so-called "privatization" in Nazi Germany mainly benefited Nazi Party members. Most of the new "private" owners were card-carrying Nazis, and thus part of the state apparatus. Nazi Germany had its own military-industrial complex, so the lines between "private" and "public" were blurry at best. By the way, during the Total War period all major industries were nationalized again. Not that it matters.

The USSR fell behind the US because it never privatized its industries or gave them autonomy.

That's debatable.

Anyway, I'm not a communist. I'm not in favor of an economy that's 100% state-owned. But it's simply a fact that the state has always been the biggest entrepreneur in history. The state often creates new wealth and then the private sector appropriates it, which is the complete opposite of the myth that we're taught from birth. A lot of capitalists aren't wealth creators, they're wealth extractors.

The US Gov invented the iPhone
