The President of the United States still talking about the threat of Marxism 27 years after the end of the cold war and the “end of history” should be an inspiration to us all. They’re still scared, we’re still relevant, and the Spectre of Communism is still haunting.
At this point, with a significant portion of random people in the US supporting Iran, being talked about like this feels like getting a big bump. Like if the big dry boy really fixates on us, our spectre will grow tremendously
Communists in america have graduated from "that thing in the past that no longer exists, you're just a child if you support it" into "Communists are the greatest threat to this nation".
I think that's actually quite a significant turning point. They are identifying communists as a sincere and growing influential force.
Yes! this is the sentiment that was kicking around in my head seeking a more perfect explanation. This cuts to the core of my optimism: we're finally at a real turning point.
"This cuts to the core of my optimism"
Could also be that ai is driving me crazy
Don't let the spectre of AI Slop take away from the spectre of communism
Unironically god damn the capitalists for desecrating the compliment itself
lol i'm so sorry
i do appreciate it but yeah the phrasing set off my ai sensors :<
First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you <- YOU ARE HERE
Then you win
