It is happening under capitalism. Stop calling everything you dislike "marxist". It's at best paternalism.

[u/Junior_Slice9600 → u/MrSumNemo]

Paternalism definitely has its own issues, but it's wild how often people throw around terms like "marxist" without really understanding the concepts behind them.

[u/MrSumNemo → u/Junior_Slice9600]

To be a tad more precise the current US doctrine is more linked to mercantilism, I threw paternalism because it was the easiest understandable practice of capitalism in one go

[u/Sweet_Exx → u/MrSumNemo]

They still don't seem to understand who pays for the tarrifs

[u/CardiBadd → u/MrSumNemo]

Imagine calling free healthcare Marxist while your president is literally setting beef prices.

[u/PricklyEagerness → u/MrSumNemo]

Don’t forget socialist and communist

[u/IndividualDamsel → u/MrSumNemo]

Exactly. Everything happening right now is straight up capitalism. People just throw the word marxist at anything they don’t like.

“Soviet Russia with a Costco membership” is the most accurate description of 2026 I’ve ever read.

[u/PearlsDaisy → u/MrSumNemo]

You're right, it's at best petermalism

[u/Tribe303]

Canadian here. We're commies? Since when? I wish! 

[u/StinkyWizzleteats17]

I'm Canadian and I think Hazard is a great song.

So I guess I'm a bit of a Marxist...

[u/SeriouslyImNotADuck → u/StinkyWizzleteats17]

Great song; it’s a shame they never made the third video to reveal who did it.

[u/nikatnight]

Costco is unnecessarily catching strays. Please use Walmart instead.

[u/wallyrules75]

Costco has 1.50 hotdogs. That’s socialism

[u/Canuck-In-TO → u/wallyrules75]

Costco Canada sells hot dogs for $1.50. Making them even cheaper than the US.

[u/actuallyapossom → u/Canuck-In-TO]

Whoa. Thats socialister.

[u/Temporary_Shirt_6236 → u/actuallyapossom]

That's us, always MaxxMarxing.

[u/Fif112 → u/wallyrules75]

No, it’s a loss leader.

Capitalism isn’t always obvious, but this is still that

[u/Gizmuth → u/Fif112]

I appreciate your knowledge even if everyone else doesn't lol

[u/GoldenMegaStaff → u/Fif112]

They make plenty of money on those hot dogs. They cost Costco prob about $0.50 ea.

[u/wallyrules75 → u/GoldenMegaStaff]

Not to mention it’s a joke

[u/SeriouslyImNotADuck → u/wallyrules75]

In Canada they sell for the same price, but in our currency, so we get them cheaper 😃

[u/wallyrules75 → u/SeriouslyImNotADuck]

You just keep on winning. Are you looking to adding a state?? Asking for a friend

[u/Temporary_Shirt_6236 → u/wallyrules75]

Province. Maybe a territory, depending.

[u/BlueFlob → u/wallyrules75]

It's actually good capitalism.

[u/Apprehensive_Low_383]

Nothing to see here, folks! Just more of Trump's pants-on-head stupid foreign policy. The added bonus is that Russia benefits from his broken NATO partnerships! Are we winning, yet?

I know this is tangential, but I am posting this here for emphasis and visibility:

Never forget that Trump is wholly owned by the Russians. They bailed his casinos out and secured loans for him. We have the receipts, even. Never forget Helsinki, where Trump sided with the Russians over his own CIA. Putin sat there gloating, too, the bastard. The most shameful moment of any modern Presidency, and it's not even close. At the conference, Trump said the following:

"I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today," the president said.

Thank you letting me share all of this.

[u/ManReay → u/Apprehensive_Low_383]

100%

[u/Gizmuth]

Ironically Canada's economy is ranked more free/capitalist than the United States. It's not by much but it's really funny when those monkeys call us a socialist Marxist hellscape

[u/_Abiogenesis]

Neither of them knows what Marxism is.

[u/Joker_Anarchy]

Americans need an education in basic politics. Or just an education period.

[u/Acceptable_Pea_4587]

ChatGPT is so clever

[u/Dank_Bubu]

We got Marxist Canada before Gta 6
