Condemning communism

For most Trumpsters, terms like communist, socialist, fascist, nazis, etc.. are merely pejoratives for people not in their cult. They don't understand the political ideologies involved. It's just pro-wrestling for them.
I think that's what's happening here. They just use the word because they think it will put people on the defensive.

How can a person use a word so frequently without even understanding its definition?

The arrogant ignorance of Trumpism isn't funny any more. It's now dangerous.

It always has been.
 
This just gets worse.

Yes, it does. The shear ignorance and gullibility of the left is truly mind boggling, but predictable. This is what happens when people are spoiled and unappreciative.

Right, we don't understand. My wife's college educated parent's, one of whom graduated top of his engineering class, don't understand the intricacies of Communism despite growing up under Communist rule and living there through their early working years. Only you lefties who have discussed the topic in depth over $5 lattes in college have a true understanding of how Communism works and how a country gets there.

In my experience, most of you don't. Trumpism is populism -- ie "politics for dummies". He attracts stupid, deplorable people because he tells them they're just as worthy as everyone else. But they're not.
 
It was as close to it as any large country has come. Much less so today, of course, but brutal totalitarianism is pretty damn similar.

Not at all in any way.
Communism is a cooperative, collective, and communal was of natural tribal and family living.

China and Russia started off as a Marxist revolution, which is not really communist at all, and Marxism is supposed to go through steps where once the aristocracy is defeated, returns to a democratic republic.
None of that happened in Russia or China, and instead all the communists, socialists, and anarchist were killed off, and a feudal system of state capitalism was established.

Yep that's me. Stupid, yet ironically successful and squarely in the crosshairs of the lefts "hate the rich" mantra. Maybe you lefties need to take a look in the mirror and ask yourself why virtually every non-successful person and zit-faced teenager just happens to agree with your ideology.
 
Can you pick a couple of these items that the Democrats do NOT support? Do you support these ideas?
You probably don't realize this, but your "list" is comically one-sided and hyperbolic. That tells me that the odds of having an interesting conversation on this are very low.

Since I have disagreements with both parties on virtually every issue, it would not be difficult for me to find differences with any Democratic program you bring up. But I'm not into asymmetrical conservations with people like you. They bore me.

Think whatever you'd like. I don't care. Sorry.
 
Communism
A way of organizing a society in which the government owns the things that are used to make and transport products (such as land, oil, factories, ships, etc.) and there is no privately owned property.

No, communism has no effect on personal property, but only on the means of production.
That does not mean all land, but just commercial land.
That means factories and commercial transport, but not personal transport like cars.
 
Do you really think any populace that ended up being Communist ever saw it coming? It can't be made so obvious that the average slo' Joe will see it coming. The MSM has a mind-meld on virtually every Democrat in the country.

Here are the steps. Which ones do you NOT see happening or NOT being pushed by the left in the US?

1. Healthcare – control healthcare and you control the people.

2. Poverty – Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you provide everything for them to live.

3. Debt – Increase the debt level to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes and this will produce more poverty.

4. Gun control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from government. That way you are able to create a police state.

5. Welfare – Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government.

6. Education – Take control of what people read and listen to and take control or what children learn in school.

7. Religion – Remove belief in God from the government and schools because the people need to believe in only the government knowing what is best for the people.

8. Class warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class.

Following these steps there is a swift and decisive move to complete control which the people are unable to thwart.

What you describe likely could work, but is exactly the definition of right wing feudalism.

You don't understand shit if you think the American left is in any way communist. Simple as that. The right has robbed the term of all meaning.

Gotcha. You see yourself as a high-brow and can't stoop so low as to answer simple questions.

Anyone can play that game, but truly smart, thoughtful individuals are able to defend their ideas without much effort. Defending your positions seems to be a real challenge for you, instead you back down when challenged.

I can guarantee you that the overwhelming majority of people that have escaped Communist rule and come to the US oppose the Democratic Party. Only Communist sympathizers would support them.
