Propaganda doesn't have to be a good argument.

> So the offensive tone of your comment is misplaced.

What offensive tone? There was no offensive tone, but the fact that you presumed there was says a lot.

> It called itself that way, that's why I used the term, as I explained.

Okay, so not related to what it actually is.

> The reason why there are such people in the U.S. is not corporations per se, but rather lack of social system (which also comes from your fellow citizens). In Europe, we have corporations too and yet we have less problems like this.

Europe has the same problems.

> I am not saying corporations are not a problem, but in this case, they are not the primary cause.

So you are ignoring corporate interests and their influence on society and politics? Clearly corporations and the elite have a huge impact on politics, so ignoring that aspect makes no sense.

> Unlike communist party, corporation cannot prevent you to have a job.

Which communist party? Every party that calls itself communist can prevent you from having a job?

> If you have skills which are in demand, you can still work for smaller business or on your own.

Provided there are smaller businesses which are able to exist alongside the corporation, that they can pay you enough, that you are even able to find them, that you didn't sign a document that prevents you from working for a competitor (which is quite common), etc, etc. Also why can't you work for a smaller company/organization if there is a 'communist' party?

tloble··on L4 microkernels: The lessons from 20 years of research and deployment
'Not that many' is not really acceptable for many applications, and I'm not talking only about IoT, but self-driving cars, surgery robots, rockets, etc.

> I mean communist regime, like in Eastern Europe, not the ideology.

What makes it a 'communist' regime if it doesn't fit the communist ideology?

> While corporations in capitalism are also hierarchical, the risk to ruining your life is much less, because you can always change the corporation and start with a clean slate.

That must be why there are no jobless, homeless, poor people in America.

> Your family is not affected (or only very rarely).

So how do your children eat if you don't have a job?

> Even in hierarchical system of corporation, this gives you freedom that is incomparable to being in prison or under totalitarian government.

So you're telling working for a corporation isn't the same as being in prison? Wow, much insight.

I studied philosophy and history, I worked as a developer since I graduated. I spent some time learning to program on my own though.
