“We need to reach across the aisle and show bipartisanship!”
The bipartisanship:
Remember guys Socialism is unpopular, that’s why must do everything we can to demonise and stop it!
how many south american countries do we have to coup before you learn that socialism fails naturally?
Why do they keep doing this shit? The anti communism week? A socialism is bad resolution? Are they haunted by something?
These MFs couldn’t even define what the word means
even their wrong definition of “when the government helps people” is something they hate. they can never allow anyone to believe that the government can do anything except punish the poor
I was just saying to someone else that the average american thinks socialism and communism are the same thing, and when they hear either of them they think stalinism.
I’m not American but I say socialism and communism are the same. The distinction came from anti-Soviet social democrats, and academicist leftists.
It’s not a distinction made in Marx or Engel’s works, or even Lenin or any other actual revolutionary.
The idea of communism having “stages”, and the lower one being “socialism” is not based in anything really.
Socialism and communism are synonyms for the movement of self-abolition by the working class.
Like communism is not even a “stateless, moneyless, classless” society. That’s just because state and money and symptoms of class society. If the working class abolishes itself, the symptoms of class society will (likely) fade away.
But communism is not an endpoint to arrive at. The start of the abolition of classes and the end of it are both communism, and socialism.
What comes after, where all aspects of class and class society are but a distant memory, that’s not communism. That’s a new thing to come that we can’t imagine while we live in capitalism, in class.
(Not that we can’t imagine it ofc, but like predict it with any realism).
Socialism is when you execute Chris Matthews in Central Park, and the more newsreaders you execute, the more socialist you are.
Why? Why even give them a shred of compromise when they control the government and are fucking everything up? Hey look it’s 86 examples of the democrats being paid opposition.
“Today, here at the Capitol, we’re condemning socialism! That… that means anything that gives our poors and workers ANY power, living standards, or scraps of ‘democracy’. We the TRUE american people condemn collectivism and that we should hyperindivualize ourselves! Condemn [insert socialist leaders here]! They have killed 100 morbillion and will do so if we do not condemn these new lefties who dare to even be a nominal opposition of our power!”
wow you guys I’m sure Trump visibly loving Mamdani will really help THIS trend!
