AOC Rips Elon Musk: 'In This Country, We Hate Nazis'
www.huffpost.com
"I still am not rocking with anyone sympathetic to Nazis," the Democrat said. "And I will do that until I am six feet in the ground.”

Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk after he made a gesture during Trump’s inauguration resembling a Nazi salute.

Musk and his allies dismissed the comparison, calling such accusations exaggerated.

Ocasio-Cortez, however, called the gesture unacceptable, emphasizing America’s history of opposing Nazis and the Confederacy.

She also condemned the Anti-Defamation League for defending Musk, accusing it of losing credibility.

Her comments sparked broader debate on symbols, gestures, and their implications amid Trump’s return to office.

    I don’t get it though, I don’t even read Marx. The fact that it was Russia and China who stopped fascists last time, and might have to do it again because the West is doing the opposite of stopping fascism, how is that Marxist? It’s literally what happened.

        No, I don’t talk to tankies I don’t think. I genuinely don’t understand why you’d have this reaction to a description of what’s happening.

        Just looked up what a “tanky” was, got mixed results, looks like classic red scare communism-phobia to me, lots of people butthurt that Russia beat the Nazis and freed the concentration camps with violence as if that was a mistake. Did it happen some other way then? And all that stuff about Russia and Stalingrad and Berlin is just tankie propaganda? Please.

          It sounds like something tankies say because that’s what tankies say. It’s not much deeper than that lol

            Ok so it’s something tankies say, why is that a problem? If they said the sky was blue would you say everyone who thinks the sky is blue is a tankie?

            EDIT - Just to add, you know who else reacted negatively to communists? You know why the Nazis targetted jews? Or is the irony of using “tankie” as a pejorative and being a fascist lost on you?
