As an American who had every kind of toy gun growing up, this ad still rubbed me the wrong way, and I wasn’t sure why until I read your comment. I think realistically, this is just a toy gun maker that has slightly modified their product so they can use the word “fidget” for marketing. Can’t say I blame them, but it’s still weird and a little too subliminal.

No it can’t because it’s not a form of government, it’s just an economic system. Communism is both a type of government and an economic system. That means concentrated power.

American democracy definitely needs to be improved (ranked 36 in the world), but do you think I have less of a voice in the election process than I would under communism?

I support democracy and oppose authoritarianism. Capitalism needs better regulations today, but I don’t believe that the government controlling all business would lead to anything besides more authoritarianism.

NO

When the current government is not doing a very good job at maximizing the happiness of its citizens, it’s a natural reaction to look for answers from a different type of government. America has some enormous problems with capitalism as it currently operates, and communism offers solutions to many of those problems. The issue is the top-down power structure. Democracy keeps the most power in the hands of the general population, and i will always oppose giving that up. Beyond that, I’m open to any solutions for modern problems, public or private.

The core is small by volume but very dense (massive) and very hot. An average temperature by mass would be much higher than an average by volume.
