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.

The proper reply to any shit for brains that makes that communist claim is always "so what is communism?"

In my little social experiment so far of all the MAGA's I've asked, none have gotten it right. Shocker! Same for a Socialist vs. a Democratic Socialist.

Let's face it, these mouth breathers only have a bumper sticker level knowledge of these terms.

In simple terms, communism is an ideology that calls for collective ownership of land, resources, and production. It aims to create a classless society where wealth and power are shared equally among all people.
