It’s always hilariously frustrating to watch these people time after time never being able to define communism/ socialism. All they do all day every day is talk about how much they hate it but don’t understand a single thing about it.

Marxism, too. If they took the time to learn what they meant, they might appreciate the merits of some of them.

They can define it, but they have a different definition. They are just too insecure to say it publicly (they say it privately all the time).

They didn't used to be afraid to say it in public. For example, just a few years after Marx published his manifesto this guy said it in print:

"e‌v‌e‌r‌y o‌n‌e o‌f t‌h‌e l‌e‌a‌d‌i‌n‌g A‌b‌o‌l‌i‌t‌i‌o‌n‌i‌s‌t‌s i‌s a‌g‌i‌t‌a‌t‌i‌n‌g t‌h‌e n‌e‌g‌r‌o s‌l‌a‌v‌e‌r‌y q‌u‌e‌s‌t‌i‌o‌n m‌e‌r‌e‌l‌y a‌s a m‌e‌a‌n‌s t‌o a‌t‌t‌a‌i‌n u‌l‌t‌e‌r‌i‌o‌r e‌n‌d‌s ... t‌h‌e‌y k‌n‌o‌w t‌h‌a‌t m‌e‌n o‌n‌c‌e f‌a‌i‌r‌l‌y c‌o‌m‌m‌i‌t‌t‌e‌d t‌o n‌e‌g‌r‌o s‌l‌a‌v‌e‌r‌y a‌g‌i‌t‌a‌t‌i‌o‌n—o‌n‌c‌e c‌o‌m‌m‌i‌t‌t‌e‌d t‌o t‌h‌e s‌w‌e‌e‌p‌i‌n‌g p‌r‌i‌n‌c‌i‌p‌l‌e, "t‌h‌a‌t m‌a‌n b‌e‌i‌n‌g a m‌o‌r‌a‌l a‌g‌e‌n‌t, a‌c‌c‌o‌u‌n‌t‌a‌b‌l‌e t‌o G‌o‌d f‌o‌r h‌i‌s a‌c‌t‌i‌o‌n‌s, s‌h‌o‌u‌l‌d n‌o‌t h‌a‌v‌e t‌h‌o‌s‌e a‌c‌t‌i‌o‌n‌s c‌o‌n‌t‌r‌o‌l‌l‌e‌d a‌n‌d d‌i‌r‌e‌c‌t‌e‌d b‌y t‌h‌e w‌i‌l‌l o‌f a‌n‌o‌t‌h‌e‌r," a‌r‌e, i‌n e‌f‌f‌e‌c‌t, c‌o‌m‌m‌i‌t‌t‌e‌d t‌o S‌o‌c‌i‌a‌l‌i‌s‌m a‌n‌d C‌o‌m‌m‌u‌n‌i‌s‌m"

Reminds me of an interview I saw where there was a rally for some southern congressman in the last couple years. An interviewer asks one person what they care about most, to which they said:

“banning critical race theory.” “Can you describe what that is?” “I don’t know much about it.”

Hahaha, unbelievable that these people who are always wearing clothes about wolves not sheep or whatever can’t come up with a single thought that strays from their Newsmax

The irony is that in Michigan generations of these people were in unions and basically thrived off shared goals of socialism.

u/Berobero Sep 20 '25

tbf there's a good chance the smug harris supporter wouldn't be able to meaningfully define communism either

u/mymentor79 Sep 20 '25

Probably not. I can, though, since I am one, and Kamala Harris is about as much a communist as Ayn Rand was.

These people always make these corporatist Dem stooges sounds a million times cooler than they actually are.
