"She has not proposed to seize the means of production." NYT fact check has now converted me into a single issue voter

screen shot of NYT: "She's a Marxist. Everybody knows she's a Marxist. - Former President Donald J. Trump"

NYT Response:
"False.
Marxism refers to the political, social, and economics theories of Karl Marx, practiced as socialism or communism. Ms. Harris's campaign has described her as a capitalist. She has not proposed to seize the means of production. And she has received the backing of more than 80 chief executives, some of whom have called her "pro-business." "

She’s also not a capitalist, she doesn’t own said means of production.

why don't we change it so before fact checking even takes place we ask donald trump if he knows the definition of the terms he's using. I'm pretty fucking sure he has no idea what marxism is.

Damn. Still, she is invested in women seizing the means of reproduction.

Harris, in fact, thinks that workers of the world have more to lose than their chains.

:furiously typing up a white paper on how to seize the means of production:

It would be great if the author just went point by point through the manifesto. "She does not believe the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle . . ."

She resolves contradictions in her briefings by asking "why?," not with dialectics

WaPo article on Kamala as a boss: "She'll turn to them and say 'why?' and that throws them off

NYT suddenly realises she falls within their zone of acceptability
