    No, they are capitalist owned. if they were communist the people would own them.

    And that graph is completely inaccurate. here is the budget actual from 2015:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_United_States_federal_budget#Outlays_by_budget_function

    Notice how military spending is 631 billion out of 3.89 trillion, which is about 16%.

    And the budget from 2022 had an even lower percentage of military spending:

    Seriously, vet your sources man, that crap you linked to is easily disproven.

      You are looking at budget definitions, I was looking at what it actually being spent. More communist deception.

      Even if your data is completely right that is still insanely too high, the communist war machine needs to be stopped!

        No you weren’t, you were linking to a shitty website with false data. You were the one duped by lies and propaganda.

        And yes, the 12% is still too high, the US doesn’t need to spend nearly that much on the military. But they aren’t spending 50+%, that was just a lie, from a shitty website that fooled you.

          Yes, the website you linked to is the correct data. Of course how stupid of me.

                No, that would clearly be you at this point.

                The state does not own, or run Wikipedia, it’s a non-profit organization. And if you find something wrong on a Wikipedia page, then find a source for correction and correct it.

                And who exactly runs that crap site you posted?

                  They lock edits and it is controlled. Find one Wikipedia page that contradicts the state narrative. Only mainline propaganda is allowed there any other information is automatically labled conspiracy.

                  It is full of bias and lies as well as baseless character assassinations. It is fully controlled by leftists. You are a leftist so you think it is free and open.

                    You don’t even know the definitions of communism and capitalism, or what politically left and right even mean, and you try to lecture others on propaganda and politics? You’re so far off the deep end no one can even see you anymore.

                    And there are plenty of right wing proponents on Wikipedia, it’s far form a left wing site.
