We held a hearing about whether or not the mayor should also be the Judge. The mayor has decided that the mayor runs the court impartially and there is no need for a 3rd party magistrate.
“I’m the mayor after all”
"I am the Senate!"
So much freedom in communist Louisiana
This isn't communism, it's totalitarianism..
Very different thing.
No it's not. It's quite literally just american capitalism
I hate to break it to you, but capitalism in its purest form is very close to totalitarianism, it's just that instead of a centralised government calling the shots it's whoever has the fattest wallet.
Edited to remove american from before capitalism.
Nope. Same difference
Totalitarianism - A system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state
Centralised government - centralized government (also united government) is one in which both executive and legislative power is concentrated centrally at the higher level
Communism - a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs
It's so easy to research and not look stupid...
It's easy to get these confused when every example of national communism has resulted in a totalitarian state.
I will give you that.
I hate to be that person but I'd also say if I claimed to be a Christian that didn't believe in God or Jesus it doesn't mean Christians don't believe in God or Jesus, it just means I'm not Christian.
Amen.
I'm not sure if you realize this but using that term when it's not really applicable looks silly. Using that term when it's 100% not remotely applicable makes you look like a moron.
Says you dupshit
Damn, did you get banned from Reddit or something? I feel like you might fit in better over there, or maybe Truth Social.
Define communism. Go ahead. Define it.
That's government by the cows, right? Cow-moo-nism. They swapped some letters to make it more pronuncable.
???? Mate you need to read something. I suggest starting with Cocomelon books. Since you clearly don't understand half the words you have used.
Lol. What?
