The funny thing about Communism

@mchill said
The immigrants who came here to escape communism can't believe Americans are trying it.


That's going to come as a shock to the folks on Wall Street. Our financial markets, S&P 500 companies, small and medium sized business haven't reported any communist takeover. The right wing just can't let go of the old "red scare" can they?

Are you now, or have you ever been?! -The spirit of old Joe McCarthy lives on. 🙄

Yes, regardless of how rabid the right gets, Communism does not live here.

Better dead than red, and I would much prefer Joe McCarthy over Gestapo Joe

Joe Biden? Don't be an idiot. Joe McCarthy was Gestapo Joe.

Of course you'd prefer fascism. Most on the right would, too.

Biden and Obama were both moderates, as middle-of-the-road as you can get, but you and Rush, Sean and Tucker all think they were Communists. That is beyond stupid. But I guess anything to the left of Nazi Germany is communist to you guys.

If Biden is a Communist, then Trump is a Fascist.

Well ain't that Amerika.

Unfortunately, it is right now.

Do you think America is a tolerant nation? I mean tolerant of "the other", anyone not white, anglo-saxon or protestant? Not on your life.

Step right up to the Conservative Pig Trough! If the shoe fits, eat it!

Hey, stupid. If I did start talking about politics anywhere in the world EXCEPT America, you'd call me out for not knowing what I'm talking about, and you'd be right. But I AM talking about America, and therefore you don't know what you're talking about. World politics has ZERO to do with American politics.

So how about this. You stop talking to me as if I'm talking about world politics and I'll excuse your ignorance about American politics.

It's my nation, dipsh-t.

I know it far, FAR better than you do. I've seen firsthand and lived through what Trumpism has done to America. There is nobody more stupid on the planet than the Trump base. You, on the other hand, have no clue. Do you live here? Do you see it every day? No.

So what?

You are an idiot who obviously never studied political science.

Communist Fascists. Good one.

They're opposite ends of the political spectrum.

Perhaps you're confused by conflating what a political party calls itself, and their actual ideology.

The National Socialists weren't actually socialists, were they? Maybe you think so, but like whodey and others who've tried defending the right by calling Nazis socialists, you're just as wrong.
