I'm getting reports further down, I have no idea if what anyone says is true or not. It's borderline rule 5, but not quite there. This is a strong reminder to hate the argument, not the arguer.

i wish communism was as cool as republicans make it sound
It's even cooler
I'll believe it when I see it. Not to say that I'm not willing to give it a shot, fuck knows what we're doing now isn't fucking working.
We have never found a perfect political/economic system. That’s why it’s so important that we continue to evolve what we have to be better. I feel like this has stalled out in this country and we are seeing the fallout live.

What we really should have:
Fully automated luxury gay space communism!
Powerbottomin to end poverty and sickness
I'd be down for that
Wow, he wants to provide people dignity and a high quality of life. How terrifying.
Taxed and have it spent on genocide abroad.
Taxed and spent on you.
It's your choice.
- Public Roads
- Police
- Fire Departments
- Social Security for retirees
This is also socialism (not communism, he's an idiot). I hate that socialism/communism = evil got shoved down our collective throats so goddamn hard in the middle of last century that people still fucking believe it without thought. Whatever keeps the capitalist hellscape grinding us into the dirt I guess, the old guard on both sides are still happy as hell to villainize social programs paid for by fucking tax dollars, and the tubes are too ignorant to understand that when everyone benefits that includes themselves.
I had an argument with an American once over whether health care should be free or not. They're so brainwashed into thinking that they'll somehow be disadvantaged by a universal healthcare system even when they're paying out their ass for private health insurance, and at the same time blaming patrons of their restaurant who don't tip enough for their poor income while happily accepting minimum wage from their employer. It's absolutely mental.
We Americans have that hammered into our heads every day of our lives. Along with "God loves us but doesn't want us to have sex." and "America is the greatest, freeest [intentional mis-spelling] country on Earth".
Takes a while to realize all of this is bunk. Many never realize it.
It's true, this place fucking sucks. Welcome to America where you're free to fuck off and die, here's your bill, and if you dare have an abortion we'll throw your routing carcass in jail and bill the infant for it.

The checkmark is an idiot self-identification tool.
Ah, yes, famously communists love to... open grocery stores?
They actually do. They will all have the same stuff and it will have a low price.
That is basically step two after forming a council.

This so-called "fear mongering" isn't directed to the broad US population, it is targeting the preexisting bias of lowest common denominator target audience of the right.

This is why they figured out in Lakota culture many years ago that it's not safe to use sarcasm in your language. Some people might not get it and that makes them feel left out. Others may think dumb things are true so it can only make your whole culture dumber and unable to know what is true or misinformation. The entire sarcastic subtype of comedy is basically just not done, condoned, or laughed at which I think it's pretty awesome
