    Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

    This propaganda will backfire on them. The idea worked in the past when the working class got so much more, but as conditions deteriorate? In a country where people are going to celebrate every new Luigi? It won't work. Making "America-hating" synonymous with "communist" will turn losing their faith with america towards communism rather than away from it.

    They will have to implement a new deal to get this propaganda working. At the very least the giant healthcare elephant in the room will be necessary within that deal.

    Yeah. The US is one of the most favorable environments on the planet for fascism and anticommunism, and they're fumbling it because they don't actually understand how it works. It has to actually give some small benefit to the ingroup, this is literally giving nothing even to their core base. It has to tie in to the national mythos and national iconography, this is all weird Nazi larp shit that embarrasses the suburbanites. It is supposed to take power at a time of acute crisis. The decline is undeniable, but all the messaging is about how everything is great actually, never been better.

    The actual crisis that gave rise to this is ~12 billionaires realizing people don't like them and spiraling into delusions and paranoia, instead of just writing a check to rename a university after themselves or whatever. They're throwing a tantrum because they can't run their own system effectively. This would-be fascism can't capitalize on any of the real structural problems.

    This incompetent fascism larp might actually immunize society against it, while the real maximum crisis is still some years away. Could be perfect timing.

    Right, and ask them to die for it vs the people willing to die for revolution, how's that going to go?

    They're going to go "Nah fuck this, I ain't dying for this shit".

    There is absolutely zero incentive, while the revolutionaries will have absolutely every incentive.

    Only a new deal will make this change. The question is whether they realise that or not before the time comes. No amount of clinging to historical propaganda like a comfort blanket will make it work in different material conditions, it worked at a certain time because of certain conditions that no longer exist.

    The more they lean into it in the wrong conditions the more they just teach people that communism might be for them.

    Good catch, I knew for sure it was AI but didn't look for signs too closely. It's funny that they put in enough effort or enough prompts to eliminate all but a few artifacts and couldn't be bothered to do the tiny amount of work it would have taken to fix with a photoshop tool.

    Here's another one where their vitrol is so frothing they can't even realize their lady liberty is holding the torch upside down implying she is burning the flag. amerikkka Also the flag on the ground is a violation of the flag code, so unpatriotic liberty-weeping however once a flag becomes unfit for display. It should be destroyed in a 'dignified' way, prefably by burning. sicko-yin-yang
