In socialist countries, the Big Government is in control. There's no freedom. Everyone lives in fear. You don't even own your own toothbrush. Anyone who supports socialism is a Tankie who just wants to kill rich white people for fun and doesn't understand how awful their lives will be afterwards. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 4 points 11 months ago (1 child) I genuinely can't tell whether this is satire or not. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago All good, it's satire permalink fedilink source parent [–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works -2 points 11 months ago (3 children) Like which countries specifically?

MLK jr.'s cadre took great pains to ensure that their efforts didn't get labeled as socialist because of it. the environmentalists of the 80's/90's -- green peace in particular -- was also heavily socialist influenced and got labeled as such for not making efforts like MLK jr did. now-a-days, the campaign misinforms americans that leftists don't reliably vote despite examples like clinton and obama proving otherwise and there being enough green, psl, dsa, cpusa votes to counter republicans easily. this misinformation is done to cover for the fact that the democrats don't want to adopt platforms that left leaning voters want and this is most recently self evident in kamala harris' campaign and its attempt to sway republicans to vote democrat rather than shore up her democratic base. permalink fedilink source parent
