I could not find anything to support it being something he said. Anyone?
He never said it. Do you think a man who made millions was a secret communist ?
He seems to have been a good man though. His house keeper didn’t like the confederate flag on his truck, so he took it off and never displayed one again
Making a ton of money doesn’t preclude someone from being a socialist.
He was still an employee of the team owner and brought in more money for the capitalist than he was paid in return.
Even in a socialist society where the means of production are worker owned, there can be sectors that are more valuable than others. The difference would be that the workers are receiving their full value rather than being paid a wage and the excess value going to the pockets of a capitalist owner that isn’t producing value.
But no, Dale was definitely not a communist or socialist at all. He was a pretty staunch Republican.
I have no idea if this is a real quote, but I love what's being said.
What's with all the garbage fake communist quotes from NASCAR drivers in the meme page lately?
It's called "The Ghost of Ol’ Dale Earnhardt" and it was started in 2017 as pushback against alt-right people trying to make everything from the American South seem ultra right wing.
I don't really get the point but it seems like left leaning people in the American South find it funny?
explains the point perfectly and then claims to not get it 🤨
But yeah, you don't have to be from the American South to find it funny. Personally I'm from the European North and find it hilarious 😄
Its got to be so devious to sit on your pile of money and once people start to realize where youre at you just start fucking with them.
Wealthy person: Capitalism is the true decider in survival of the fittest. Having wealth is the equivalent of being physically and mentally superior in every way.
Poor: Mmmm ok? So, you want to place your order or should I give you a minute?
Poor: hey, why is it you make 360x more than I do?
WP: what was that? Hey, you think we should build a wall so that foreigners don't steal your job?
Poor: hey, you could buy a Lamborghini everyday for the rest of your life and never be effected.
WP: huh? Did you know people like you will be replaced by black people like you?
Raise hell.
Praise Dale.
Hell yea, that's Dale Earnhardt for you! Raise hell, praise Dale!
Praise Dale. Raise the capital establishment.
*Raze
So that’s why they killed him
