      You’d be surprised what they would support. Until the neoliberals killed capitalism there wasn’t really that much problem with the idea of governments running public services.

      Hell, usury is a sin. Very clearly defined as such, biblically. You tell them the US government is in a position to act as an interest-free loan office and they probably wouldn’t have any real problems with the idea.

        “Hell, usury is a sin. Very clearly defined as such, biblically.”

        Ayyyy that would be a wonderful thing to bring up to a Dominionist Republican and watch them struggle between “need to force people to believe we’re a religious nation” and “we cannot give the people services, they must pay.

          Well you see this Old Testament rule doesn’t matter because it benefits their owners.

        Capitalism is very much not dead (though it does smell rotten)

          It was a bit of an oblique reference to The Man Who Broke Capitalism by David Gelles, I just like to imagine it was murdered instead.
