Fucking commies, taking our tea and throwing it overboard just because they didn't want to pay taxes. We should send an armada to put them all in jail.
Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky...Imagine what'll happen when they try to tax our whiskey!
Im not offended as much as I am disappointed in the Democrat party, why aren't they as cool as the Republican say they are. Whenever Trump calls them "far left communists" I think "damn I wish", instead they're boring center right liberals. Also I was promised by Trump that the Democrats would end capitalism, kill capitalists, instiute a worker owned economy, open the borders to immigration, enforce Trans rights, promote actual diversity, and unify the left under the red banner.
Dems are as cool as republicans because they're the same thing. The dems aren't going to call republicans fascist because the dems share all the same symptoms. They're not going to call out the republicans for supporting genocide because they also support genocide. They're not going to call out republicans on supporting the prison state because dems also support the prison state. The dems aren't going to criticize the republicans for serving capital because the dems serve capital. Etc.
You gotta realize these politicians are agreeing on much much more than they disagree. It's what's not debated that's most important.
Communists just think you are a little bit thick and/or uneducated. Maybe a little bit cute. Like a child who doesn't know what words mean.
I promise the republican party doesn't care and just says whatever is most offensive in their eyes.
Democrats: "let's pass some reasonable reforms to temper the ill effects of deregulated capitalism"
Republicans: "that's socialism and you're a Marxist!"
Youth: "we want reform so I guess we like socialism!"
Republicans: "the radical left is indoctrinating our kids!"
Democrats: “let’s pass some reasonable reforms to temper the ill effects of deregulated capitalism”
Which democrats? The fuck?
Followed by :
Democrats: "Fine we'll do whatever you want! Just don't call us commies!"
Is it forbidden in English to use commas?
Too close to the word commi
My forgotten friend, the ; is always sad that people forget that they exist.
Can confirm. Every time the reps call Kamala a "comrade" or "Communist" I die a little bit inside.
When I heard Trump calling her "Marxis-Leninist" I was like mate you don't even know the beginning of the beginning of even socialism.
My favorite quote from that fuckwad is "Lenin. Leh-neen, as they say." Dude has no fucking clue
Idk how much is weapons grade stupidity and how much is that affect reactionaries adopt around not rberimg things they dislike.
They have an endless buzzword pocket that they cycle around. Marxist-Leninist, Communist, Socialist, Transgender, Illegal, CRT, DEI, etc.
"Explain to me what you think a communist is"
I guarantee they give a wrong answer if they can even figure one out.
To be fair, most people on Lemmy.world can't either. The vast majority of people in the west have not read Marx, or if they have done so, they have only read the Communist Manifesto perhaps once. Communism is so thoroughly demonized in the Imperial Core that only a minor fraction have even read Marx, and only a fraction among them have read more than just the CM.
