    The angry one just vibrates in the original post. I have seen this artist use animations in one panel like this one, mind you it's a reddit link.

    If those people knew anything about Communism and Islam they'd realize how utterly stupid that combo is...

    These people just interchange socialism and communism like they're the same thing.

    Because they are. The end goal of socialism is a communist society.

    The issue is that fools think that's a bad thing.

    …what? All three Abrahamic religions are extremely explicit and clear about providing food and shelter to the poor and needy. What counterexample did you have in mind?

    There is no equality in those religions. Man and woman wasnt equal and slavery existed in those times..

    I think it's more the fact that communism in it's real world manifestations is all about control, and they can't have competing organized religion, unless they pervert into some state converted version.

    "communism" IRL is more like vanguardist fascist dictatorships under leftist aesthetics.

    I lived in one of these "communist" countries, its actually just a state capitalist hell, practially zero social safety net, zero free busses, zero free childcare, zero free lunch, internal border control, a very "papers please" environment, just more government oppression.

    Reason why these failed is bexause of the lack of democracy, the vanguardism has failed it.

    Mamdani is not a "communist", he is a Democratic Socialist, he believes in democracy. We have already seen success with "socialist" policies when they get implemented under a democratic system such as in Norway, for example.

    since when was "providing food and shelter to the poor and needy" considered to be exclusively communist?

  • I feel like they're jealous inside haha

    I just don't understand why they would care so much about what's happening in a blue state far away from them. It's like the very idea of someone else living a peaceful happy life sends them into a rage-fueled, spiteful wrath

    Socialism is a buzzword that has been used in the US to attack anything remotely progressive that's happened in the last century.

    When Social Security and the New Deal programs were introduced, they were called socialism

    When the voting age was lowered to 18, it was called socialism

    When the FMLA was passed, it was called socialism.

    It's literally just a word that Republicans who don't want to support our communities use instead of just flat out admitting that they're anti human

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal#Criticism

    In 1934, Roosevelt defended himself against those critics in a "fireside chat":

    [Some] will try to give you new and strange names for what we are doing. Sometimes they will call it 'Fascism', sometimes 'Communism', sometimes 'Regimentation', sometimes 'Socialism'. But, in so doing, they are trying to make very complex and theoretical something that is really very simple and very practical.... Plausible self-seekers and theoretical die-hards will tell you of the loss of individual liberty. Answer this question out of the facts of your own life. Have you lost any of your rights or liberty or constitutional freedom of action and choice?[279]

    At the same time, there was an actual (failed) attempt at a fascist coup on Roosevelt's watch:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot

    The Business Plot, also called the Wall Street Putsch[1] and the White House Putsch, was a political conspiracy in 1933 in the United States to overthrow the government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and install Smedley Butler as dictator.

    So, yeah. Fascists hate this stuff and will do anything to fight it, from name-calling to revolution.

    Talking seriously, from a "centrist" point of view, worrying about that a "gay trans sociallist hellscape" makes no sense seeing how easy is for the right to get to power no matter how crazy it seems.

    It's funny how they're trying to paint him as a communist revolutionary or something, and in the process, just making him look even cooler.

    If we don't attempt democratic socialism then capitalism will bring absolute poverty to the economy (we're already so close, but people aren't eating leather yet), which will lead to revolt, rebellion, and lots of death. Then a most likely scenario will be Communism, where things will likely look good at first, then quickly fall backwards. Then more revolt, then fractured states. We're about 50 years away from being the Northern States of America, with all kinds of squabbles, different laws, sketchy trade deals, etc. All this will likely end in the worst scenario: Texas is claimed by Mexico and Texans will all be refugees fleeing to other states.

    Dude I think you've been drinking a little too much of the kool-aid, none of those scenarios would actually happen even within 50 years. Absolutely no way zero. If you think Mexico would become a more successful State than any part of the United States then you really are smoking some good shit. And the United States devolving to Communism within 50 years that is not even going to happen not even a little not even anyway no way no how.
