Opinion How realistic do you think communism in America actually is?

[Officer Rick]

P

Good effort
I approve

You big dummy. We live in a corporatocracy. Why else do you think corporations get bail outs, tax breaks, and campaign finance reform never happens?

Corporations joined the Democrat Party to take away individual freedoms

Think the people that own the politicians are more into unregulated capitalism. Communism is just a scare tactic used to manufacture the consent of the people to give more power to the corporate state as we slip further into oligarchy and fascism all in the name of patriotism.

Do you realize who fought campaign finance reform and who cuts taxes for corporations? I don't know what individual freedoms you are talking about but I am afraid that if I ask, I will just be disappointed in thinking you had a point.

No. The Dems started kissing corporate ass under Clinton so they could get some of that money. The corporations know how to read the room and realized that they can own it all.

 

[Papi Chulo]

No.

Yes they did.

 

[Zazen]

Agreed, on all of the above. Communism for me, is telling people we're all equal and all deserve an equal slice of the pie (IE - Fuck all, creating a poverty class) - and that's bullshit. We aren't all equal and we don't all deserve an equal slice of the pie. Why should a doctor who's spent 10yrs at university, accruing 50k of debt to become a doctor, be equal to someone who left school at 14 to do drugs and get several underage girls pregnant?

We are not all equal and we do not deserve equal outcomes.

Nobody said that. You're making this up

Equal opportunities? Yes, of course.

Equal outcomes? No fucking chance.

 

[Zazen]

Equal opportunities? Yes, of course.

Equal outcomes? No fucking chance.

I mean the part about a doctor earning the same as someone who sits around all day. I think people just want a system that also respects those who have minimum wage jobs. If someone works full-time I dont think they should need to work an additional job.

 

[AWilder]

That is what communism is though.

How can there be victims of communism when it's harmless? There are many facets to this gem.


Did Manning not know what communism means?
Manning Johnson - Wikipedia
"Like many ex-Communists, he continued to see Communist influence, as he directly stated: "Beneath all of the racial unrest, at the root of all racial unrest in the country, is the clammy, cold, bloody hand of Communism."

communists make people racist? what a convenient excuse.

After watching the democratic socialists of America convention on youtube, not very likely.

Communists foster division in the US in an attempt to destroy it from within.

Once China takes over America it will turn communist.

CHina running things cant be any worse than what we have going on currently

 

[RogerB08]

Once China takes over America it will turn communist.

Hate to break it to you, but China is more of a state capitalist economy than a communist one.

 

[RogerB08]

The US becoming a fascist state seems equally unlikely to me. Also open to hearing about why people think that could be the case.

One of our major politcal parties has taken a hard right towards fascism and the people who vote for them have openly embraced it.

 

[Papi Chulo]

It won't end folks. The Left wing globalists will not stop until we make them
