Sounds totes like a "classless" system, eh folks?

Yeah the democrats were weak when it comes to Gaza.
The Dems were not "weak" on Gaza - they very strongly supported their favorite little genocidal white supremacist colonialist project.
But, they didn’t say “the west bank is yours for the taking. Go get!”
Nobody "handed" Israel the West Bank - the IDF can concentrate on the West Bank now because they were too entangled by their abysmal failure to beat Hamas in Gaza.
largely peaceful anti-israel protests that were commonplace under the democrats will now get violently shut down by autocratic style policing
Good. The people doing "peaceful" protest needs to learn what "peaceful" protest amounts to one way or the other.
Also trump has an extremely pro Israeli track record
So does the entire US political establishment, including anyone the Dems will allow as a presidential candidate.
The Swiss? Those people known for their (supposed) "neutrality" despite helping the Nazis squirrel away all that stolen wealth?
Say it isn't so!
Thanks to neoliberalism I don't have any money to spend on these products anyway!
We (from the perspective of the capital class) are the pigs threatening to eat the carrot.
No. We (from the perspective of the capital class) are the pigs rejecting the carrot... therefore, it is only the fascist stick that can now protect the capitalist order.
Nothing new about this - it's essentially what happened after WW1.
Using your analogy, how would we achieve a less exploitative relationship with the capital class?
You're essentially asking how we stop a serial abuser from being a serial abuser.
There are two ways, of course. You either remove the victim, or you remove the serial abuser.
Somehow, I don't think the former is an option.
No, that is a choice that
Again, liberal. That’s not my “solution” - that is what your precious status quo will be doing anyway.
Believing a politician actually cares about you is like believing the stripper likes you,
Hey, come now... there's no need to compare those parasites to strippers.
This is true... but it doesn't change the power dynamic at play at all - merely the stakes for the individual involved.
You’re the real fascism enablers.
Keep telling yourself that, liberal... especially when you watch the liberals you vote for "reaching across the aisle" to your fascist cousins.
So your solution is to increase the genocide and hostility
That's not my "solution," liberal - that is what your precious status quo will be doing anyway.
We have seen all kinds of attempts to "reform" capitalism - from Lenin's "state capitalism" to the US's New Deal to our current "Capitalism With Chinese Characteristics" All of them leaves the door open for the eventual re-establishment of the capitalist mode of production and it's inevitable class domination.
We require a system of direct democracy. Some will call that anarchism, or socialism, or "council communism"... but it will all boil down to the exact same thing.
