I'm 40 years old, and when Republicans start yelling about "communism" it just confuses me. I didn't grow up fearing the Soviet Union. It died when I was still watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons. I figure they're communicating to really old people (which is bizarre since I feel extremely old). It's the equivalent of yelling at cavemen about saber tooth tigers.
Ever since I was a child, every time the people would ask the government to do ANYTHING to help the citizens, Republican politicians would scream "OMG THAT'S COMMUNISM!"
So the younger generations learned correctly that communism is when the government helps its citizens and does everything a government should do, and tries to fix everything the Republican Party has done to break the citizens of the U.S..
Yeah, the whole "everything I don't like is communism" spiel has definitely hit the streets in the rural south. If you're not a Trump supporting MAGA Republican, you are a communist and/or you support communists. The DSA? They're the most communist Communists to ever commune.
After being called a communist in a discussion about the DSA, which I'm not even a part of by the way, I asked the accuser if they knew the difference between socialism and communism. Their response, NOTHING it's all the same thing.
Government run healthcare is communism. Defunding / abolishing ICE is communism.
But Trump administration's efforts to nationalize private companies/industry like Intel and US Steel? That's definitely not communism, it's totally different when Trump does it.
I guarantee that if you ask these folks what communism is, they will have zero idea.
I refuse to believe anyone "thinking of the children" has anyone's bes interests in mind
They just destigmatized racism and pedophilia, they're halfway to destigmatizing socialism... let's see how this works out for them.
If communism is the greatest threat to the country they want to build, then I think we have ourselves a goal.
They're defining "our country" as their country, and they're right.
Your mistake is assuming "our country" means America. It actually means "Epstein's Island."
If there's not enough inequality, if every child is everyone's responsibility, how will I exploit and rape them?
And you say communism is no threat to our society!? Its a threat to every part of our society that is great!
-every billionaire.
They also murdered them after.
Is communism in the room right now? What about the Epstein files?
Somone tell him about North Korean Kim harems. Epstein underage prostitution is an amateur hour in comparison.
