    The US military is the world’s largest socialist organization. Universal health care, pensions, free college and job training, free housing…

      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

          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.
