  • It’s not just AIPAC that’s the main problem (although it absolutely is a problem); the Democrats and Republicans both get massive amounts of “donations” from large PACs (including AIPAC), corporations, billionaires, etc. that they choose to represent them by any means necessary, since that’s who they get their paycheck from.

    The only way to fix corruption for good is to permenantly make it so that corruption can never happen to begin with. Few individuals/stock traders shouldn’t be allowed to own/influence these massive corporations; they need to all be forcibly converted to worker-owned coops (which will also abolish the stock market), and we also need a hard wealth cap (something like $50 million tied to inflation in both liquid and non-liquid assets). Imagine if you got to both vote for who your manager is and also vote to fire them if they do a bad job.

    Any system that is still capitalist by nature (like social democracy) will still have an elite few who are able to buy influence. Capitalism actively encourages this to occur by its very nature (as pro-capitalists would say: “greed is good”)

    AIPAC is more of a symptom of a larger problem.
