Zone1 Is communiusm a US obsession ?

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Communism, fascism, socialism, all just different flavors of the same ice cream.

It's all about centralized control and terror.

Wrong.

Fascism is on the right side of the political spectrum.

Fascism is nothing like Communism or Socialism.

Stalin murdered more than Hitler, so maybe communism is worse then?

I dont see that in the US.

Correct, that's because no one of significance advocates for 'communism'; that anyone does is another ridiculous lie contrived by the right.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

If you protested on Jan 6th you would have.

I cant think of any other country that would have put up with those antics. Maybe you could name one. ?
The reaction to the riot was quite benign.

Are you a commie ?

Touting for new members is a typical Communist habit .

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

Ive lost count of the times that I have been called a commie on this forum.

Im not a communist and never have been. Im probably a socialist but that bears no relation to communism.

I also see dems described as " Commies" but struggle to make the connection\ Im terms of political views the Dem party is hardly even left leaning. In Uk terms it is far to the right of our Labour party and probably closer to the cameron tories, before the brexit nutters took it over.

The GOP is far more to the right than our tory party today. They havee extreme positions on capital punishment,, womens health and guns taht would not fly over here. In fact they would be the kiss of death in the UK.

But the Dems drink at the same trough as the GOP and are definitely not commies. In fact it is difficult to see any credible left wing entity in the US.


Is it a throwback to the Macarthy era ? Reds under the beds and all that ? Or is it just a catch all insult made by people who are not politically literate ?

Its a word I never hear in this country.
Where are you on the political compass ?

The GOP is not a Conservative organization they just have some or pretend to have some of the value. You are a moron if you think some of the crazies in the Democratic party are not leftest. AOC and her group are fringe progressive lunatics.

You are either historically retarded or just plain stupid. The Communist killed mega-millions and the Chinese are still going. Of course any sane person doesn't want that murderous socioeconomic ideology in their country.

AOC is relatively moderate. She is nowhere near being a communist. This post illustrates what the OP was commenting on.

Is it possible that "commie" is the only term of reference that you have ?

 

[Bob Blaylock]

AOC is relatively moderate.

That you see her as any kind of moderate only goes to show just how far off in the left fringes you and your whole degenerate culture is.

You come from a culture where the mainstream is about where the leftist lunatic fringes are of American culture. What you see as normal and proper for British society is not what is seen as normal and proper in any truly civilized society.

What policies is she advocating that equate to communism ?

It's not my job to do your homework for you.

As a Brit, you wouldn't understand anything about American policy anyway, nor is it any of your business.

You are making the claim. I would expect you to back it up.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

You're British. You don't get to tell any American what to do. And there's no reason for any American to care what you expect of us.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

So you have no evidence.
You underline the OP.
Also you need to understand better how discussion boards work.

AOC is a leftwing lunatic that is as dangerous as any Communist because she is a a "socialist" moron who doesn't know a fucking thing about history. Like all useful idiots she is being used by the real Communist to destabilize society so that the elite can gain control.
