So they want us to band together, pay taxes, and fund institutions that use labor rights and labor unions, weekends, and a 40 hour work week to fight the thing that gave us all those things ?
Mate, we need to talk.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

MODERATORS
"Fighting Communism" by handing a billion dollars to my cousin, who regularly combs the beach with a little metal detector looking for bits of communism along the shore.
"Fighting Communism" by giving Jack Jason and the Fartbox on AM Radio 1400 another million dollars to run ads about how cool President Calvin Coolidge was.
"Fighting Communism" by hiring a bunch of skin heads from San Bernadino to drive around in a sprinter van and shoot people out the window gangland style when they see any communism they don't like.
"Fighting Communism" by giving the American owned branch of TikTok ten thousand new AI generated influencer accounts to do the "Why Hitler Should Have Just Sacked Leningrad rather than Sieging It" dance numbers.
"Fighting Communism" by redoing the DC reflecting pool another ten times.
Common, it's for the children!!
/s
They could pretty much say "we need $350b to open more prison camps for the 1% to rape and eat children when they're bored" and I'm pretty convinced nothing would happen so stop it, why even bother with the communism cherade anymore
for the people that kamala harris tried to convince to vote for -- people that think that republicans and democrats are mostly same, but still better than those dirty commies.
The mythical fence-sitter that they've been pandering to since the 90s so they could continue to be captured by corporate interests.
they're not mythical; they do exist and are the 60% of people who can watch a genocide being live streamed to the palm of their hands but still refuse to call it a genocide.
Buy me a jet! To fight communism
Fund my next island! To fight communism
Pay for my human trafficking! To fight communism
Cover up my crimes! To fight communism
What about fighting fascism?
What if the American populace wants to be communists? Where does it say they can't?
The US military isn't supposed to conduct domestic operations.
There are roughly 32 million students from k-8th grade in the US. If you have that money for education instead, that would be almost 11k per kid. Over 200k for a class of 20 kids, which could hire like 3 more teachers per class. Or 5.5 million for a school of 500 kids. We could fund so many things and maybe give these kids an education worth having....
Asking for money...to fight a system that asks for money...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Sounds like Socialism to me.
They need it to finalize turning ICE into the Gestapo so they can start disappearing anyone of any color who doesn’t bow to The Fuhrer.
Why do they have to use our taxes to pay for it? Why can't capitalism pay for it? His whole plan sounds pretty communist to me
We should investigate all of them, fine them heavily, confiscate heavily, put them in prison, leave their families destitute ("BOOTSTRAPS!"), and put their fortunes in the "America FIRST!" fund, to be the seed money for all the social programs like health care and free college that we'll have, INSTEAD of wars.
Tell us more about how things like health care for all, free college/trade school, tuition reform, rent reform, and police reform are terrible. Tell us that over and over and over and over...
Assuming that there are 100,000 schools in America
thats
3.5 Million per school
if each school has a thousand kids, then its about 3.5k per kid
assuming that there are a million homeless people in america
thats 35k per homeless person, keeping them fed for over a year
no actually, missed a zero
350k per homeless person
Its not about communism.
It is in the "Communism is code for my political enemies" way.
I need 350 billion for an ice cream, pretty please
They are shitting themselves..
"If the Dems FINALLY start running on actually helping the citizens, we're royally FUCKED!"
Nothing to fear from them
Communism is so bad that we're forcing each and every american to pay an average of $1,000 to fight it
Are we doing the 1950s again? McCarthyism, was such a good time.
His official answer to any question is, "I don't know anything about that."
