I'm waiting on one self-described socialist who can state the difference. Most of them cannot even define 'socialism' beyond a government easter bunny. 2 1 Link to comment

Please, continue to post stuff like this all over social media, here, and any platform available. Democrats might actually win Senate seats in Georgia and North Carolina at this rate! So socialism with 1 party rule sounds good to you? Congratulations you now have communism. 1 1 Link to comment

Yeah because the communist Supreme Court along with known pinko commie Joe Biden are going to lead all the fervent commies in Congress into the Commie promised land. Do you guys have any notion how nuts that sounds? 2 1 Link to comment
Moiraine Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I laugh every time people call liberals Communists because I know several people in the U.S. who lived in Communist countries and they all think the Republican party right now is horrible. 1 Link to comment

We don't teach anything but the greatness of capitalism in the US, so it's not surprising that hardly anyone - conservative, liberal, libertarian, etc. - knows the differences between Marxism, socialism, and communism. 1 Link to comment

We cover everything you listed in pretty good detail. In 9th grade, 11th grade and 12th grade (But that depends a bit more on the electives you take) Really, the Korean War totally gets glossed over...all the time...like all the time. Link to comment

Do you guys have any notion how nuts that sounds? These people also think it's cool that a convicted felon doesn't need to serve jail time because Trump disagrees with the jury. I guess maybe that's why their scared, they are seeing crazy s#!t happen in the present and they don't want to see what might happen if it isn't "their guy" in charge... Link to comment

And they recognize that what liberals want is nothing like communism, because they aren’t morons. They lived through communism but agree with liberals on most issues. Preferring the U.S. to communism doesn’t mean they don’t want anything to change. Link to comment

People that lived through communism understand how horrible it is/was. It gives a greater appreciation for anything that is not communism. Link to comment

I think you should be able to give an elementary school definition for the ism you advocate for. 1 Link to comment

Ok, but you're just shouting at the rain because no one has either declared themselves socialist nor provided an incorrect definition. Link to comment
