Every accusation from the right is a confession or projection.
It's a strategy they use, actually describing Socialism (or Communism) risks sounding appealing instead of scary, and they want the populace to know only Capitalism as an option, so they just endlessly describe different characteristics of Capitalism while dressing them up with different coats, the more palatable ones are called Capitalism while the worse ones are called Socialism or even Communism. So even when people are totally sick of Capitalism and are willing to consider something new, if all they know about Socialism and Communism is from Capitalist sources, they end up running back into their bloody cage thinking they are escaping it. You see this play out not just in the western world's (Global North) "news", but also in movies out of hollywood, and games made in these Capitalist countries. Sometimes it is more subtle and sneaky, like they pretend they are actually criticizing Capitalism, but not really, and in the end it must all be dragged back to "Capitalism as the only option".
Yeah, "the bear" is great example of capitalist propaganda. It starts off as like a it's hard to work in a restaurant pornography of interpersonal suffering caused by someone killing themselves because they failed at capitalism. And then shows all the workers buying in as hard as they can so that the business can just barely survive at every turn through huge personal sacrifices to satisfy the whims and needs of folks with more money and privilege than them and eventually devolves into "you wouldn't tell Ayn Rand to cut some of the fountainhead" and you're like ohh fuck right duh I must have had covid when I started this show. Wtf. It's Atlas shrugged kitchen edition
I always chuckle when the features of capitalism are branded as corruption.
if you ask a capitalist and a communist to critique the other system they're both going to critique capitalism
The difference is one understands the system they defends while the other don't.
"hostile takeover" THEY ARE SLOWLY GETTING INTO THE PARTY BY WINNING ELECTIONS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL
SOCIALISTS STAGE HOSTILE TAKEOVER

Always projection
Sorry for asking guys, but could you upvote this comment if you enjoy my take on the topic? You see, I'm trying a hostile takover of this comment section by using the normal democratic process of getting upvoted.

How fucking dare you
I wish I lived in the world conservatives think we live in
You don't because people think we'd live in the world we're living in.
Deeply unsettled to learn that Newt Gingrich is still alive.
I think this is what the tragedy of the commons is.
He's not wrong. You just have to look at it from his perspective. The people with the power are the commoners. Their power is their connections, which is a lot harder to take away. His only power is money.
You got a mouse in your pocket, Grinch? Who is "us"?
Die already you miserable piece of shit!
How dare you wish this upon the dead. They don't deserve this!
What do you mean "us" you wet fart.
Pendulum. When given an initial push, it will swing back and forth at a constant amplitude.
MAGA = Democratic socialism
Good news is Newt looks like he's gonna die soon.
