Death to America, of course.

This is all your fault.

    My first response was AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    My second response was AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    My third response was "you know what, fuck it, if this gets more people on board with workers making decisions at this early stage of class consciousness then, whatever"

      same, while it's very incorrect if it lets people who have been red scared into thinking Communism = Evil then tricking them into think that Socialism is totally different might actually be a good idea. Same with people always calling government run programs Socialism, not exactly a bad thing to be associated with and could make it easier to get people on board for some real Socialism down the line as negative associations fade.

        Yup, even if this is an op it's still a net positive. If the word "socialism" loses its Cold War baggage that will at worst make it easier to do stuff like universal healthcare, and at best get people to do a bit of reading and start to actually understand what these terms mean.

    Pretty sure this is an op. People should be on the lookout for fake leftist groups like that.

    US Left: Sir, can we please have health care, I would like not to die..

    Establishment: You sound like a dirty com...

    US Left cowering in fear: Please don't call me a communist, everyone knows that those are the bad guys (tm), forget the health care. Just give me an old white racist as president and a female cop as vice president, make it a woman of color so we can pretend it's woke.

    Establishment: So we agree, the culling continues.

    Socialism is when the government does stuff, communism is when the government does everything, anarcho-communism is when no government does everything.

    Americans have the most garbage fucking political education. I remember my social studies teacher telling us this.

        the problem might be if you took something that was meant to teach you about social or political issues. In stem degrees they just talk about electrons or whatever all day and then let the industry/research/climate crisis/etc radicalise you. There's more communists in our physics department than the philosophy one lol; it's great, and also wildly depressing.

        It's a shame you lot get lied to while being bankrupted :heart-sickle:
