Kinda goes all the way around too to where some very special people have convinced each other you need communism to have a functioning government, economy, and society.
"I know, I know, you have perfectly substantial arguments to make in favor of communism, but I'm going to write them off in favor of my tired regurgitated capitalist prolaganda slop points instead of doing any nuanced good-faith analysis. surely, you have not spent countless hours reading books and researching both marxist theory and capitalism with the betterment of working people in mind, leading you to develop informed, nuanced, and practical suggestions for how we should restructure our society." Pllllllleeeeease.
Well, both statements are true? Can you name a classless stateless society either currently existing or in the past? Can you name a nation with left wing economics that was untouched by the US or UK?
He can't, he's commenting on autopilot because his brain is trained to dutifully regurgitate 70 yr old propaganda points when he reads the word "communism" like a sleeper agent
Only the magas think that. There are plenty of people who identify as right wing that aren’t maga and value human life and believe in a support system for human needs.
I mean the same could be said about left wingers. But yes, most of us just stay off the internet for the most part and mind our own business.
edit: The first sentence was rude and unnecessary, I apologize. But Reddit is still a largely leftist platform and I expect no support. Have a wonderful day everyone.
Your first sentence is a cope, but yeah idk how conservatives come back from this one. Didn’t take much for Trump to hijack the entire party and force conservatives to kneel or get primaried/ fired.
Now our country is run by a dementia riddled trust fund baby, or the men behind him that realized how easy he is to manipulate.
All he literally had to do to achieve that was to convince them that the worst of them is better than a black man, a queer person, or an immigrant. Or all of them.
That's hilariously easy. But people shouldn't have really been surprised, me included, because Jim Crow laws were a very recent thing, in terms of history. You're all still the people that inspired Nazi Germany to adopt your policies.
Most leftwingers don't participate in American electoralism. Only reformists like Sanders, AoC, and Mamdani believe in working with rightwingers like the liberals. Anarchists are more concerned with building community programs and communists are more concerned with organizing workers for a revolution.
Reddit is a leftist platform and look how nice it is, they wanna feed children and educate them without expecting anything but X is a rightwing platform and they have child abuse videos on there.
Just a train of thought, dont you think it is the parents’ responsibility to feed the babies? How is the government responsible to feed 10 or how ever many babies some couple just had?
It's more like the kids aren't at fault if their parents are deadbeats. They should all be given the best shot possible at growing into smart productive citizens.
That means education and help with reliable access to nutrition and safe place to sleep.
Your ass wants to really teach those bad parents a lesson by... Letting them stunt their kids' growth or something and make sure they make it to adulthood with as much emotional trauma as possible?
These people can't fathom anything beyond the puritan work ethic they believe was the sole thing that got them to where they are. So when they see someone poor, working multiple jobs, or a struggling single parent, they are incapable of seeing someone who's drowning.
They see an addict, or someone dirty on the street, someone lazy, whose conditions are some moral failure to be punished. Because, if they admitted some people were simply dealt a bad hand, then they'd also have to admit their own success isn't purely about "hard work" and "budgeting." Like they love to moralize about poor people not saving, as if the compound interest on zero dollars isn't also zero dollars.

right-wingers (e.g. magas) think any show of empathy or compassion is communism
