I mean, the argument that communism is slavery to the state is a real and valid argument as of 2024.

It’s not like capitalism is any less a form of slavery, except instead of stealing from everybody to give to everybody it steals from everybody and gives it all to insurance companies and other businesses benefiting oligarchs. The whole system is slavery under another name, work for the luxury of having a place to sleep at night so that your owner can live a comfortable life. Slavery to many masters who use your body for their gains.

There’s not going to be a system that you’re not a slave to though, unless we somehow find a way to trivially convert matter to energy and vice versa and build a utopia where machines do everything for us… and we all share the rewards. All hail science fiction communism? (and keep in mind science fiction keeps becoming reality! Just don’t hold your breath for this in our lifetimes.)

Cool, now sell it over the counter. Is there any compelling reasons for this to require a prescription?

I don’t understand how you can convict someone based on the testimony of a person getting a plea deal for turning in another person.

The last thing the person getting the plea deal would want to do is turn over someone loyal enough to them to rob a place and shoot another person with.

Does anyone think this would have happened if the accused was the son of a wealthy white couple? How about if it was the police chief’s son? Any senator’s son?

Just saying. Testimony without hard evidence shouldn’t be enough for criminal conviction, let alone a fucking execution.
