God, I fucking hate it when people refer to liberal ghouls as Communists. Fuck no, the Commies in the room hate her too. Read any history, don't fucking sleepwalk through life and go to brunch. The Imperial Core is fucked beyond belief. screm-a

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago

The overton window is pushed so far right in the imperial fascist core that someone who wants to drop 5 less bombs on gaza is a diehard communist.

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

Bold assumption that she wants to drop fewer bombs wtf

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

Reactionaries have literally assassinated/tried to assassinate elected officials and their families because they thought they were commie spies lmao.

Pelosi is such a fucking coward. Someone tried to kill your spouse on behalf of your political opponent and your response was to maintain decorum? Anyone with a spine would have gone scorched earth if that happened to them. If someone made a swipe at Melania Trump, Teflon Don would have personally carried out that person's execution (even if he doesn't actually give a shit about her and they're only together because divorce is too expensive).

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

If the past 8 years have proven nothing else, it's that the only thing Democrats consider sacred is decorum

Biden can lurch around spewing bullshit about how Putin wants to reestablish the Soviet Union and not get laughed out of the room, it's dire

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

We hate Putin's ass too! Critical Support for Russia's role in anti-Imperialism doesn't mean RF good, their decay from their Soviet roots is a tragedy for Mankind. It's stupid. kitty-cri-texas

[-] miz@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

the melt-brained old people who still think that Russia is communist, more than THREE DECADES AFTER the illegal dissolution of the Soviet Union, those people send me into a rage. like, you spent a decade celebrating the end of history how can you not remember this?!?

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

Communism = anything scary, but is undefinable.

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

My mom is this way. She thinks Putin and Russia are still communist.

It's so frustrating because Putin was OUR guy. We put him there to act as a United States puppet. IIRC Gary Kasparov had more popularity than Putin back in the mid 90s. But since Kasparov believed in the communist party, he didn't get any support from the west. Despite (you know) being a total fucking lib. Fast forward to today and you have NATO falling over themselves for Navalny.

And I don't even remember the Berlin wall coming down, despite being alive for it (I was just a toddler). How these fucking boomers that were like 40 at the time don't remember anything is concerning.

[-] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

Throwback to when Russia first invaded and my friend's dad said something about "Soviet tanks" and I reflectively said "I fucking wish they were Soviet tanks" and got a weird look from the two of them

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

In fairness to the brainworms I imagine a lot of the tanks and weapons being used on both sides were from the soviet era.

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

It’s particularly funny when liberals get mad at communists for this mislabel. They say fascism was a reaction to communism, which it partially is, but refuse to acknowledge what communism was a reaction to and fixing those issues in the first place.

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

That's too much credit to libs, they believe fascism is an idea and sprouts when people get bad ideas

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

They literally don't know what communism is other than "it's bad and a dictator kills 100 gorillion people".

jk, he wrote about abolishing the police lol.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

It's when the government does stuff wolff-shining

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

I legitimately think the average USAan would implode from a combination of rage-induced constipation and constipation-induced rage if an actual Communist made it anywhere near the levers of power

[-] red_stapler@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

They wouldn’t recognize an actual communist and agree with all of their positions as long as you didn’t call it communism.

[-] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

They control the media though, can't win the class war by changing the language because just as much as they can make people afraid of the word communism (for fucks sake it means etymologically to live in communion together) they can make people afraid of any word. Don't let the right change our language.

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Disagree on that, becoming a Communist requires untangling the Bootstrap narrative and the myth of meritocracy. One can logically be led to Communism, but without debunking the ideological aspects of liberalism the conclusion doesn't connect.

it's a surprise tool that will help us later

Future communist presidential candidate hiding their 100000 power levels:’pfff they say the same tired nonsense every time, how am IIIII a communist?’

I don't think the average American would even be able to quantify an actual communist politician. The political metric of the average person in response to politicians is idiosyncratic and largely determined by stuff on TV.

Americans don't care about policy or if it actually gets implemented. They care about what the TV shows and they get mad if they see a black person. That's it. A communist would only register to them as a Democrat or a Republican depending on which one they hate the most.

I've been a self identified communist for over 20 years and the usual response is either confusion, vague curiosity, or they identify me as liberal and/or conservative based on which Facebook memes they just saw.

Trump: “They’re pink haired, marxists, drug abusers and freaks!”

Me: ✊🏼

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Don't tell me they still go on about WeIrD HaIr CoLoRs.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Yeah they do lmao

[-] absolutefuckinidiot@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Not sure why Trump is talking about my friend's and I we never did anything relevant

[-] KamalaHarris@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

biden-leftist Leftist sleeper agent "Sleepy Joe" has passed the torch to me, and soon I shall be in position, my comrades! Trust the plan!

[-] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

Sleeper agent, that's genius

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

Sleepy agent

[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

They say this every time and it's never true :(

[-] VHS@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

That's not a trend. That's an ad

[-] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 months ago

AmeriKKKanets will never understand what actual communism or leftism in general is

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

Leftism is posting vote on the Nazi site and then going to brunch for 2 years, every electoral cycle. Don't you know?

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

I don't want an America in the communist zone yet no one gave me a tag either.

[-] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

I am once again asking to live in the straw man world that right-wingers are led to believe is real where everyone is a communist calling for communism.

[-] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 months ago

And how many of those comments are real?
