He might want to take note of this and start pushing for Ukraine funding!
Let’s do one about capitalism
Oh yay, jingoist lies and propaganda are making a comeback.
I’m sure they’ll remember to accurately point out how every government that has ever claimed to be communist was actually a right-wing dictatorship.
Remember to make some popcorn for when you read the comments here. Lemmy and discussing communism is like watching two programmers argue over vim and emacs.
No, the real argument is Tabs vs Spaces.
I never even considered Tabs until watching that episode of Silicon Valley but now I know that Spaces is objectively wrong.
That episode completely missed the point. No one is arguing about pressing the tab key vs pressing the spacebar 4 times. It is purely about whether the tab key inserts a tab character, \t, or a series of spaces.
There are valid arguments both ways. But if you want to piss me off, mix the two!
He can’t even define ‘woke’.
I’d say I want to know what his definition of communism is but it’s clear he means the same thing as when he says ‘woke’.
He absolutely can define woke, because his administration did so in court:
the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them
They just refuse to admit it actually exists.
Him being stuck about 50 years in the past on the perceived threat of Communism is on point when looking at the rest of his agenda.
Considering how many repubs are sucking russias dick and putin is the guy who wants to bring back the ussr… it’s surprising he is talking shit about communism…when his entire party is sucking putins communist dick
Putin isn’t a communist, though. Far from it.
Communism and Dictatorship are opposites and not compatible at all. Communism, by definition, demands the “withering away of the state”. Putin is just a right wing dictator. He envisions himself as Russia’s literal Tzar, right down to using the crest on his massive estate compound. He has no interest in communism in either name or form.
No shit. That was the point. They’re all about how bad communism is, but are in bed with a guy who wants to bring the ussr back together. Communism doesn’t work because it turns always into a authoritarian society. The joke was that the repubs are in bed with a state that was all about communism back in putins day.
ML is an authoritarian ideology. And despite liking to use the word communist, isn’t.
Actual communism can work just fine. Authoritarians just fuck up everything always. Regardless if they pretend to be right or left.
Communism can work just fine on paper…but never will work in real life because people are just that. People.
Well, conservatism pushes a lot the idea that the 50s and somehow 60s was when “America was great”.
I’m perplexed they thought of getting back into mccarthyism, but of course they’ll get that low if they’re desperate.I’m just worried this is a very ugly can of worms they might be opening here.
While himself governing in a manner very similar to a certain Italian 100 years ago…
Any educated individual should already be able to figure out the dangers of communism. If they’re not, what the hell is wrong with the american education system?
I must not be educated. Please, what are the dangers of communism? And what, exactly, do you think the word “communism” means?
That it’s being eroded by capitalism.
Choosing what Religions are real and what Students HAVE to be taught in School is called SMALL GOVERNMENT!
Swap out “Communism” with “Russia” and then you have something. But I don’t think that’s a door he wants to open.
yeah this is the confusing part - they’re still able to call “communism” the “bad guy”, but then somehow cozy up with russia - the “OG communists”?
Sounds like a great way to get a whole bunch of kids interested in communism.
Don’t worry, they won’t learn any communist theory. They’ll just be told that it is bad, and to ask no further questions.
They won’t learn Communist theory in school. Have you met kids? “That thing is bad, ask no further questions” is exactly the best way to get them to learn about something on their own.
And woke!
Great. Now do the same for nationalism. Explain how’s it’s just macro feudalism where people get horny for killing other people because they don’t have the same colour flag. Just look at THE ENTIRETY of European history. Then we can compare that to the blip that is communist atrocities.
Like comparing an elephant to a flea.
As of any of these dipshits know anything about communism.
Hey DeSantis, define Communism.
“Communism is when woke.”
Define Woke.
“So, I mean, woke is sort of the idea that … um … woke is something that’s very hard to define… Umm. Sorry, I … it’s hard to explain in a 15-second soundbite.“
Take your time. 😇
What about the dangers of fascism? Or is that all too relevant to the current times for dumbasses like ronnie?
Great now just require instruction on the dangers of fascism, AND nationalism
