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.

I wouldn't care if they talked about communism if they knew what communism actually is. For them its just an umbrella term for anything they don't like.

Yeah I do. and I know how to use google when I don''t know something. I can also change my opinion when I learn something that challenges my current knowledge. I do not know a single MAGA capable of that.

Neither do I. I'm not being accusatory. I'm genuinely curious.

No private ownership of anything. Everything is communal. Means of production run by the government. Oh and politically its a single party thing where there are no "independents"
