Communist?

[Cypress]

Communist has developed a slightly different meaning in the US

Does the United States have different dictionaries than Canada, United Kingdom, or Australia?

I don't think so.

Anyone who has a working knowledge of European history is aware that Marx, Lenin, Stalin despised liberals and social democats, and the Bolsheviks tried to suppress and eradicate the liberals and progressive social democrats.

That is not what communism is

Communism is largely an economic term

So is feudalism, but you don’t hear anyone calling political opponents feudalists

I think this Red Scare stuff only works on poorly educated, overweight white people above the age of 60.

Which is apparently the audience they are after

But apparently sells on the right otherwise it wouldn’t be applied so frequently and never by a Presidential candidate, what does that say about the audience they are tying to reach?

They on the right have lost their way...which is my nice way of saying that they are scum. Anything said by anyone should point in that direction.

We never practiced communism

Abe Lincoln visioned an America dotted with self-sufficient Amish communities. One hundred years before Lincoln it was Thomas Paine who figured out that cities need a different form of government than rural living.

Communist? Other than a few perhaps in southern Florida the label Communist is so 20th Century.

At best, there is probably only one country in the world who one could label Communist, and you’d have to be playing your audience as being really uneducated and stupid to try selling them a boogie man from the past, then again, it is the MAGA militia

Oh? China is still a communist country to a large degree. Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and North Korea are all Communist Countries as well!

But, Democrats are certainly not communists, and anyone who says they are, doesn't know Shit From Shinola!

Democracy is run by a plutocracy while communism is run by an oligarchy

Neither live up to their definition for any nation that claims to be one or the other

So then tell us what Communist means today

The Biden junta is a form of home-grown American Marxism. It is a mongrel mixture that grew out of the Freudian-neo-Marxism of psychopaths from the Frankfurt School like Herbert Marcuse. Then it blended with some of the core tenets of Post-modernism (that first infected the Yale English Department in 1968), then it spat out neo-Marxist/postmodernist/Identity politics in the form of Woke ideology. Woke is, more succinctly, an example of American-style Maoism (and Maoism was Mao Zedong's take on Marxist - Leninism - it killed about 50 million people just in China's "Cultural Revolution" alone). Or take CRT; CRT = Black supremacist Racist Marxism - very ugly/evil shit. Another example is the Biden Junta's centre-staging of equity in the form of, say racial or economic equity. "Equity", as the Junta uses the term, is a purely Marxist concept; the promotion of, and normalisation of sexual perversions in children's schools, like LGBT is also a classic move out of the neo-Marxist (aka "Cultural Marxist") playbook. The teaching of transgender ideology (and Queer theory) to children are other cases in point. Biden Eco-Marxism is yet another example - (the entire climate-change issue is a giant hoax). Oh, and one more piece of black racist, Anti-American , Marxist poison that is still being pumped into K-12 public schools, should be mentioned, namely the debunked , collection of historical lies called the "1619 Project."


I could write a book about the Biden Junta's "American Marxism", Anchovies, but I don't think you'd understand it.

Communist has developed a slightly different meaning in the US

It is not meant to be a literal translation of the term

It refers to someone who likes to give control of everything over to the government

We use it almost as a slang word but we do this with other words also

Liberal would also be a very good example as well as using the term fascist

None of them are used in the correct way

Which is why authoritarian is a better word, IMO. Something both parties are guilty of doing.

The only difference between a communist and a fascist is the type of authoritarian government: commies like committees and and fascists like a single leader. Both seek to strip Americans of their unalienable rights.
