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.

Trump: You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both. As for those who peddle Marxist lies about our heritage, tell our children that we live on stolen land or that our heroes were oppressors. They're doing something much worse than slandering our past. They are slandering and attacking our future. We're not going to let that happen.

    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.

    Wait what's the current chud party line about America being stolen land? Because normally the two conservative claims I hear are more like "it was unfortunate but the killing of the natives was OK because it resulted in america" or "the natives were goddless and deserved to have their land taken because of manifest destiny." Both conservative claims are that the land is stolen, but was justified.

    But Trump seems to be saying neither of those things. He's saying it's a lie we live on stolen land? Does Trump believe that native Americans simply never existed

    This is what some of us are sayj g about the DSA-elects. Its fucking awesome because even on the rhetorical/idealist realm the chuds have no choice but to corner themselves even harder on their detachment from reality.

    After all, they can't attack a future if we don't have a future makima-think

    maybe elections do matter the way liberals shit their pants to the point of dehydration the moment someone to the left of margaret thatcher wins office

    and one of the main reasons they don't matter is because as soon as enough sufficiently left people win elections the powers that be will literally just start killing them. It's like playing a boardgame with someone that has a gun under the table and being like "I'm gonna follow the rules and win and you'll have to respect that!" As long as the one with the gun is winning the rules seem to matter but as soon as you win they just get mad and shoot you.

    Even when I don’t have high hopes for elected succdems it’s always fun to know chuds are pissing and shitting their pants in fear over them

    this is the most accurately any American politician has spoken about communism in history. some (unusually competent) CIA ghoul must have written that speech

    It seems like a rhetorical victory if nothing else (yet) that all these concepts have been so normalized. Even between the play-doh brained americans, everyone is at least framiliar with the allegations of thieving, disreputable conduct.

    There is something especially ominous about that last part "by slandering our past they are slandering our future" basically saying "we want to back to the 1800s"

    It's funny.

    What pisses me off is "leftists" doing the same thing. Michael Burns just made a video claiming that communism is any popular change that is "chill". While throwing around some quotes form Marx and other leftists. He thus implies that Mamdani is ushering in communism.
