Wow, he wants to provide people dignity and a high quality of life. How terrifying.
This so-called “fear mongering” isn’t directed to the broad US population, it is targeting the preexisting bias of lowest common denominator target audience of the right.
i wish communism was as cool as republicans make it sound
It’s even cooler
I’ll believe it when I see it. Not to say that I’m not willing to give it a shot, fuck knows what we’re doing now isn’t fucking working.
Taxed and have it spent on genocide abroad.
Taxed and spent on you.
It’s your choice.
All of them are fucking awesome! Sign me up!
Ah, yes, famously communists love to… open grocery stores?
They actually do. They will all have the same stuff and it will have a low price.
That is basically step two after forming a council.
+1 for nitter screenshots.
I don’t like contributing to Twitter in any way, but Nitter + screenshot undermines it enough to warm my heart. And informs others they can do the same!
protip: xcancel is also a good nitter instance you can use!
see, shit like this is what ended up cementing my opinion as a commie. thats literally fucking awesome.
and its for once, actual communism being described by the chuds.
Because he’s reading from his open positions of awesome stuff
isn’t it kinda funny? dude just reads from a bullet point list and hates the stuff without giving a single thought about it, because he is supposed to hate it.
Love the air quotes around “free” stuff literally everyone needs or benefits from combined with tax hikes.
Yeah, bro, that’s what pays for it, you’ve figured it out! The cunning plot to provide basic social services supported by a balanced budget!
Conservatives posting his Ws all the time. They’re his best advertisers.
I don’t care what you call it, I want that. Call it doodoo pickle butting, if it offers that, sign me up for everyone else too.
Thats the thing, im past the stupid naming and everything. I just want policies that help people and not billionaires. Call it marxism, stalinism, whatever the fuck you want.
It’s a pathetic attempt to rile the old people who remember the cold war propaganda against communism and socialism. While young people are like “So what?”
Yeah sadly that doesnt work here in eastern europe because communism and even social democratism(what this actually is) is associated with the ussr which was a truly horrible regime.
You are a special kind of stupid (and brainwashed) if you think any of those things listed are bad
And also completely unrelated to Communism.
cool marxism sounds awesome where’s my hammer and sickle
I find it fascinating how nowadays, basic human decency is called “woke” and “communism”.
It’s the primary symptom of being infected with the broke mind virus, which effectively all republicans suffer.
There’s plenty of studies showing that conservatism, sadism, and psychopathy correlate.
Should bring actual communism back toexplain the difference.
I think this is why we’ll never have a UBI/leisure society/Star Trek style utopia. We are miserable biological apes and revel in other’s misery.
Fuck that; this aggressively horrible crab bucketing is cultivated. Pretending decades of capitalist propaganda every god damn second of your waking life while you live in a fantasy wirld based on nonsense abstractions is ‘just a staye of nature’ is insane.
And yet, railing against observed reality is …???
Its where we are, and whay has been done, it is tge past we must reckon with, but it is not the default for humanity, and it was wrought by human hands.
If it can be made by us, it can be unmade by us.
Amen brother. Anyone who says “that’s just the way it is” is giving up. That’s not the way it is, that’s the way it was MADE. By powerful evil people, and we can remake it.
We […] revel in other’s misery.
Well, i don’t.
Fantastic. I’m hungry, when can I come over?
If you’re actually hungry I can help you find food.
You forgot “woke communism”
Welfare is not equal to handing over the means of production to the working class. So what mamdani is doing is not socialist.
You’re right, is Social Democracy. But that’s where we are, politically these days. The largest socialist organization in then U.S. (the DSA) is ostensibly not socialist in policy. Anything slightly left of RAGING corporate handouts and bombing brown people is COMMUNISM now.
hold on i thought communism is when government does stuff and the more stuff it does the more communism it is.
on the other hand these are reforms that marxists and communists should definitely support even if this is just basic social democracy.
That still sounds extraordinarily capitalist to me. By calling it Communism, they’re diluting the massive policy failure of actual Marxism, which is more akin to “let’s all take up arms and pillage every home, rich or poor”.
This is more like “let’s all kill the dragon who ate our children and stole our gold”.
“let’s all take up arms and pillage every home, rich or poor”
then you really need to look into what marxism actually is instead of believing stupidity online.
