Income tax is over annual income, not your net worth, which, if, you’re smart, is mostly in investment portfolios in real estate and/or securities.

Your available liquid assets on-hand as a billionaire, should be very small.

Less than or equal to the year-on-year inflation rate as a percentage of my assets would be my rule of thumb for cash, but that’s my own pie-in-the-sky arbitrary bullshit.

Who makes that distinction?

Anyone versed in basic political theory.

An ideology and a political organization are obviously different. Just like republicanism and The Republican Party, democracy and The Democratic Party, socialism and The Socialist Party, etc.

destroying the state

That’s technically sedition, so, yes, illegal.

Capitalism

Nowhere in U.S. jurisprudence is “capitalism” (verbatim) explicitly protected as an economic system. The 14th Amendment’s Due Process Clause prevents the state from taking someone’s life, liberty, or property without a proper justification under the laws of the land. The Constitution protects individuals from the government. Freedom to contract is a principle that underpins the basis for a free-market economy.

After the Great Depression, the Court began to treat the freedom to contract as less than absolute, asserting that such freedom may be limited by the State’s interest to protect its citizens. Capitalism is a right guaranteed by the constitution but limited in scope to protect individuals against the dangers of laissez-faire capitalism.

class divides

There are no explicit laws in U.S. jurisprudence (that I know of or have turned up on brief internet searches) that enforce “class divides”.

money

Be it resources, precious metals, or legal tender, money is protected by the 14th Amendment’s Due Process Clause.

So we can conclude that the advocacy or practice of communism isn’t itself illegal. Forcing people to practice it or overthrowing the government and dissolving The Bill of Rights in order to force people to practice most certainly is.

In my opinion, that’s a good thing.

Communism isn’t Communalism.

Yes, that’s true.

Advocating for Communism

… is legal, under the 1st Amendment.

attempting to implement Communism at a national level is illegal

By force, yes. Theoretically, with a broad enough consensus, it could be voted on and enacted.

All pedantry aside, it’s important to differentiate between theory and practice or ideology and an organization.

it cannot be voted in

Technically, it can.

simply ask a billionaire to not be

One doesn’t have to ask; under the very same Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, the legal argument would be, theoretically, that the vast accumulation of wealth and its legal and political ramifications violates the life, liberty, and property of other citizens.

The dissolution of the union and the United States government is also possible with the ratification of 2/3 majority of the states.

while we are essentially seeking the same goals.

Authoritarian “leftists” are not seeking the same goals as other leftists.

What is Israel supposed to do? Passively standing by and watching their hostages being impregnated?

No, obviously not.

Killing international aid workers, Palestinian men, women, and children indiscriminately doesn’t seem like a viable solution either and calling everyone who criticizes your military policy “anti-Semitic” is not what you should do either.

Whatabout the hair in your butt?

RustyShackleford,
@RustyShackleford@programming.dev avatar

But it’s not so simple and the media reporting is sometimes super biased and misrepresenting things.

Is the best military policy at that point to just wipe out the entire lot of them? Including the aid workers?

Also, I noticed you haven’t even acknowledged anything about the innocent men, women, and children that have been brutally killed on camera time and time again, for all the world to see, broadcast live, in some instances. Children are Hamas fighters now.

But who gives a shit, amirite? Every critical Goyim opinion is just Jew-hate now according to the Israeli government. They can do no wrong. Israel Uber Alles is the only opinion that is not “Anti-Semitic”.

ALL OF THE ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS AND THEIR MILITARY AND POLITICAL PROXY MOVEMENTS (THEIR PARTIES OF GOD) ARE ANTITHETICAL TO FREE AND OPEN SOCIETIES.

I’ve sufficiently “cleared my throat” now.

In my opinion, Hezbollah and Hamas are proxies for the Shiah Iranians to destabilize the normalization of Israeli relations with their Sunni neighbors. The zionists also benefit from the sundering of any lasting political stability.

The Hamas, the right-wing zionist movement, and the Netanyahu administration historically and currently enable each others barbarity. The Israeli government in this latest conflict has an order of magnitude (at least) of innocent blood on its hands, and my government (and others) enables that.

The CIA calls it “blowback”.

Hamas hiding amongst civilians doesn’t account for the slaughter I’ve seen, again, sometimes on live broadcast. There were four boys who were vaporized by the Israelis just recently. I saw zero Hamas hiding amongst them. I haven’t seen any videos of them with hostages, Kalashnikovs, or RPGs. But clearly they must have been Hamas fighters. Israel never gets it wrong!

Willfully or unintentionally, the objective is clear: in public discourse, use active agents and useful idiots to obfuscate. The Israeli government and its military cannot be seen as solely culpable for any situation even with evidence in individual cases pointing to the contrary. Any critique of Israel needs a “Whatabout _____________?”

A pox on both their houses certainly, but this time, Bibi’s first.
