@kevin-eleven saidReally? If you know the past as well as you say you do, what exactly was the purpose of your OP?
Don't you get snide with me, mister. Yes, knowledge of the McCarthy era informed my original post.
@kevin-eleven saidIsn't this the very definition of cognitive dissonance, acknowledging a deeper truth but yet still trying to score political points for your tribe using alt-right talking points!?

The really funny thing about communism is how USAliens keep spelling it with a capital C for some reason, and confusing communism, Marxism, McCarthyism, Stalinism, totalitarianism, socialism, social democracy, and liberalism; all the while insisting that they are correct and the rest of the world is deluded.
When everybody else on the road is a wrong way driver - maybe it's the USA which is on the wrong side of the road?
@shallow-blue saidThey don’t know the difference between communism and fascism…

It’s a moot debate with them.
It’s like me discussing which apples taste best and they keep saying “popcorn”.

@kevin-eleven said''....History is aIways' written by the winners.
History is usually written by the winners.
I'm sure you meant well, but that was premature of you to post so offensively at me.
Ooo, want to play this game too.
The funny thing about communism is how many times it has been implemented or closed to be implemented in the US. According to Republicans of course. The US has had countless communist senators and congress people, several communist presidents and vice presidents and the communist laws and programs that have been enacted are a constant danger to the continued existence of the US.
According to republicans, of course.

You realize that all political labels and ideals are relative right?
What you consider fascism is totally different than what another person calls fascism.
The same applies to all of the other political ideals and labels.
Was there some manual written that says communism has to be this that and a third?
No.
Do we need to be starving to death in some Stalin like purge so we can finally say...."ah yes 🤗 beautiful communism"
In North America we relate fascism to ethnic genocide,...WW2 Nazis etc.
You Europeans think American conservatives are fascist 🙄
It's all relative.
So in conclusion...
Shavixmir sucks. 😏
@contenchess saidFascism, communism, capitalism are not political labels. They’re ideologies. And they have set meanings. Ie, when people talk about communism, they (should) know what it means.

Left vs right, progressive, conservative… these are relative labels.
So no. When someone is talking about fascism, it’s an ideology that person is talking about and there’s nothing relative in the meaning.
The mere fact you think there is, is the exact reason you should learn something before coming here and opening your retarded gob.
@kevin-eleven saidA farm worker greets Josef Stalin at his potato farm.
. . . is that the USA has done and is doing (in some locations) the very same things that Communists have done, e.g., book-banning and career-canceling.
Not to mention the hall-monitoring from both major parties of what "free" citizens are allowed to do.
“Comrade Stalin, we have so many potatoes that, piled one on top of the other, they would reach all the way to God,” the farmer excitedly tells his leader.
“But God does not exist,” replies Stalin.
“Exactly,” says the farmer. “Neither do the potatoes.”
@kmax87 saidCommunist tactics? Are you sure those tactics weren't plain old Fascism?
You are aware of Senator Joe McCarthy? How easily people forget their own history. Also there is a long history of American Corporations using communist tactics to root out worker unions and stamping out workers rights, with secret police and bully boy tactics. Ironic isn't it?
Quite a difference there, and only Fascism would focus on destroying workers' rights.
@kevin-eleven saidFascism, not Communism.
Time out, mister. The topic involves American censorship and career-canceling, similar to the Joe McCarthy days.
Fascist Joe McCarthy claimed to be rooting out Communism.
"Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist Party?"
Ancient history to me, something studied in school, not experienced as current events, but at least I know the difference between Fascism and Communism.
@contenchess saidConservatives ARE Fascist.

Trump would love, love, LOVE to become Führer. The truly scary thing is that his supporters would love to see it happen.
@contenchess saidFascism has nothing specifically to do with genocide, (there was no genocide in Italy under Mussolini) anymore than communism has anything specifically to do with gulags and purges.

Facism is a sociopolitical ideology whilst communism is more of a political economy based ideology.
