It's the magistrate judge doing the pretrial hearings, not the trial judge. Not great, but not quite as outrageous.
Say what you can about communism, but you clearly see that capitalism is so much worse.
Communism lifted an illiterate nation of serfs into an industrial and atomic super power in, like, 50 years.
Which is to say just as bad as capitalism but approximately four times faster.
I don’t think any of the nations who call themselves “communists” can actually be considered communist. Hell, most of them are pretty much dictatorships, which is the farthest you can get from communism.

It was also responsible for the highly anti-intellectual culture that existed and still continues in said country today. So it swings both ways.

approximately four times faster.
It's easy to be faster when you're catching up to already existing tech, I doubt their economic system mattered much in that regard

Remember remember!
The 4th of December
A CEO dies all alone;
On the street he was lain,
cold, pale and in pain,
thousands of deaths that he own.
The decisions he'd struck,
Layers removed from the slaughter,
Were a shareholder's treat,
Your dead mother or daughter.
Those investors all wait, on that cold winter morn,
Still unawares of profit potential they'd mourn,
Poking at hotel breakfast, bored looks on their face
As was Brian's when he denied and delayed at great pace
Endless growth, deposed, on behalf of us all
Luigi didn't do it, we were hiking in Nepal.
Could've known fair would not be on the table
This should be an automatic forced recusal.
But it wont be, because the billionaires and CEOs are scared, and don't care about the appearance of propriety. They want Luigi sacrificed on an altar to instill fear and intimidation into those that might follow his example.
Pretty sure Luigi's lawyer can (and will?) push for a different judge. I know the justice system in the US sucks but if you don't even give a chance to the rules it'll never be able to do anything right

"I swear, officer, that I didn't kill that judge. The fact that my search history indicates an interest in 3D printed guns, and I own the works of Karl Marx, AND I was wearing a free "Free Luigi" shirt doesn't prove anything."
