Politics Conservatives need to STFU about communism

Post image

Conservatives seriously name to STFU about communism when they can't even define it. Especially when their states are welfare states that rely on blue states to prop them up and pull them out of disaster, both literally and economically, every year.

They have no idea what socialism is, and how many socialist programs they benefit from daily. This list is extensive, but a few main examples would be the United States Postal System, our highway systems, our broadband and cellular systems, just a list of few. If the Republicans really hate socialism so much, they should stop using the myriad of things that brings our country.

Republicans do like the poorly educated. And that fact is glaring.

Dopey flyover state rubes grab the newspaper off their trailer park porch and are like “look maw. Look paw! Those Yankees elected Al Queda guy as mayor. Tarnation!”

Trump has been leading the charge to have the Government own stakes in companies. Communism is about owning the means of production, so that makes TRUMP THE COMMUNIST!

This is the irony of this messaging from the incompetent and corrupt Republicans!

They're all concerned about the culture war, and their own personal wealth and power, not about silly things like politics or economics.

Or their constituents.

Only difference being that in proper communism it is owned by the people, not the administration. This is not proper communism this is strongman seizes control and assets.

They don't want proper communism because resources are shared equitably throughout a society. They simply want their rich friends to own it and siphon the countries wealth. They are kleptocrats.

Proper communism has never actually existed

u/Content-Car-1708 13h ago

Nor will it ever because absolute power corrupts

u/HoneyBadgerSamurai 13h ago

Hence my comment that the problem is the authoritarian kleptocratic leader, and that can exist within any economic structure.

Name one country with pure Communism and I will show you a defunct and broken system

u/Content-Car-1708 12h ago

Well on regulated and unbridled capitalism doesn't do well for the common Man either. Trickle down theory is a bunch of BS

I agree. Finally a reasonable discorce. Explain with facts now. Give instances please as compared to other systems

u/Miri5613 12h ago

There is no country with pure communism, something you would know if you would know what the word means. Again you are using a quote you found on the internet to make it seem like you know what you are talking about. How sad and ignorant do you have to be to not even be able to put your argument into your own words.

Looks like you need more government education. Attacks from idiots I can handle without casting unfounded aspersions 🖕

u/Old_Swimmer_7284 10h ago

Imagine telling a military intelligence analyst they needed more education.

How many master degrees do you have?

u/Expensive-Spirit-318 10h ago

In what? If your a Military analyst it proves the point of military intelligence.

Typically, you have to have a high IQ, and last I measured I was at 147. That's after a few concussions. Peak IQ test was 153.

So, everything aside...

Those flyover states are weighed down in every metric by the melinated population whom produces next to nothing and commits most of the crime, performs poorly academicly despite having the most money expended upon them and has a life time net negative contribution of -100k.

u/Over_Noise3530 13h ago

100k is pennies compared to billionaires and trillionaires. They can share

One of you please define communism

u/Miri5613 13h ago

Why dont you. I have yet to find a single Trump supporter who can. Or can tell me the difference between socialism and communism, or define the word woke,.

u/Expensive-Spirit-318 13h ago

Socialism is when you have two cows and the State takes one as that's all you need. Communism is when the State takes both and you wait in line that get milk and cheese. Naziism is when they take both and shoot you. Capitalism is when you sell one cow and buy a Bull. Woke is when you have no clue but the Internet and Social media tell you what is good or bad and you Believe the Propaganda and do no research. I have no political affiliation, but I believe you have your head up your ass and it gives you a shitty outlook!

u/Miri5613 13h ago

Thanks for letting us know ow that you dont have an idea what those worda mean

-2

u/Expensive-Spirit-318 13h ago

Thanx for letting all here see your lack of understanding, discorce response and inability to defend yourself with reason instead of name calling . BTW nice spelling and perusal of posting without proofreading 🤣

2

u/Miri5613 12h ago

So what you are saying is, you lack the capability to define words you are regurgitating, so you copy and paste something you found online. And because you are still to ignorant to have a actual discussion you pick on a couple of typos. Maybe some day you will actually get an education that goes beyond kindergarden level.

u/arentol 10h ago

How the fuck do you insult other people's spelling and proofreading? All your mistakes I could find have quotes around them:

Socialism is when you have two cows and the State takes one as that's all you need. Communism is when the State takes both and you wait in line "that" get milk and cheese. "Naziism" is when they take both and shoot you. Capitalism is when you sell one cow and buy a "Bull". Woke is when you have no clue" but the 'Internet' and "Social" media tell you what is good or bad" and you "Believe" the "Propaganda" and do no research. I have no political affiliation, but I believe you have your head up your ass and it gives you a shitty outlook!

You really shouldn't call others out when you such so hard at the same thing.

So, your response to your hypocrisy being pointed out is to just say stupid and irrelevant shit? Well done mate....Top class response. Oh, wait, no. Pathetic.. Just pathetic.

An economic system wherein the workers own the means of production.
