    the US military is the largest reactionary force in the world

    Socialism is not when the government does stuff

        How it works internally is capitalism. Sorry not trying to be pendantic but there’s nothing socialist about the US military in practice or otherwise

          Centralized/state control versus pure corporate profit seeking. Of course, there's still the grift of capitalism going with war profiteering weapon contractors. You can't literally buy stocks of US military though.

            Socialism is an economic system in which workers own the means of production. It has nothing to do with centralized planning. If it did it would be to say our anarchist comrades aren’t socialists!

            The US military is centrally planned, by and in service of a dictatorship of the bourgeoise— the capitalist class who own the means of production and control the government, and use its institutions to further their interests. Thus it is definitionally a capitalist institution. These are, in fact, the people who would try to kill you if you attempted to install socialism by seizing the means from the capitalists.
