    Define Marxism and point out how that aligns with the Democrat platform.

    I think we're talking about parties, right?

    Yes and referring to the democratic party in that manner is a right wing pejorative. Its democratic party not democrat party etc

    So "The Democrats" is a right-wing pejorative? That is the oddest thing I've heard in a while. Is "The Republicans" a left-wing pejorative?

    We can't have capitalism with strong social programs to help workers and tax the rich to make this happen? Can you explain what you mean by Marxism? edit to add "and how we want/own Marxism"

    I'm more of a progressive. I think we'll have to have some kind of basic income in the furture too. AI and automation is coming for everyone's job.

    Well, would you look at that? When it comes to DeSantis, the user you replied to respectfully asks that "If you have criticisms, please back them up with facts and citations." But Democrats? Apparently, dems "oWn MaRxIsM" and aren't afforded the same respectful criticism backed up by factual data.

    Funny how that works!!

    This Marxist boogie man is always so bizarre to hear. There are literally 0 Marxists in Congress. There has never been a Marxist President or Supreme Court Justice. There has never been a Marxist Governor. Right now, there are only about a dozen Marxists combined in state and local governments in the country.

    We gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.

    That's because you aren't counting all of the super duper extra-secret Marxists!

    Which, by the way, I'd never heard about until Obama was elected. Weird coincidence. I am sure there is nothing correlated to a certain unique attribute of that President compared to everyone that came before him. No need to look into it further.

    “Ooga booga booga! Be afraid of the red menace!!! Fear the commie marxist threats!!!”

    Get fucking real that shit went out of fashion as soon as the USSR fell apart. Get a new boogie man this shit is as old and tired as a b-movie foam rubber suit thats showing zippers and tears.
