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
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.

Why is a comic strip 12 seconds long?
No one wants to read a 15 second comic strip.
It’s a gif where in the last panel the angry bigot shakes a lot.
Look im not gay but if comes with healthcare im willing to try.
Boy do I have news for you, it already is.

That oddly fitting comment below.
If those people knew anything about Communism and Islam they’d realize how utterly stupid that combo is…
Tbf if you ever lived in North Iraq you would see how much left-leaning average religious Kurd is.
If we stopped invading the region for oil and all it would stabilize and then progress over time.
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.
The alternative to communism is starvation when no one can a job because of automation.
in communism, socialism is a middle step. but in socialism, socialism is just socialism. it doesn’t have to be communist
And they have absolutely no idea what either mean.
…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?
What they preach is not the same as what they do. None of them. It’s a psychological thing.
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.
I commend you for having balanced views despite living under “communism”, and being unlike the cuban migrants that see anything slightly left of center and turn into the flashback cupcake dog.
since when was “providing food and shelter to the poor and needy” considered to be exclusively communist?
It certainly isn’t capitalist.
Reagan
Everything wrong with the US is basically just a game of 6 degrees from Ronald Reagan.
Around the time that those in power claiming to be of the faith started calling it communism.
it’s unfortunate that the guy in charge is buddies with the rockets guy. at least he’s still stuck on his spruce moose
“Hop in!”
man daddy
Hell yea
See, that’s the thing.
People just don’t seem to realize how important my opinion is. I did, like, research and stuff!

Poor people riding the bus
How dare they ride a bus.
They should be walking, so it is easier for me to ride them over while laughing. /s

Don’t forget the important details.
Oh, is that where the word bussy comes from.

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.
Yeesh, I don’t miss reddit at all. Those comments could all be bots and it wouldn’t make a difference. Everyone just posts whatever joke they thought was funny 2+ years ago.
That’s what she said! AhAhaHahAhAhaHaHa~
I bet that feels nice
Oh, they can post images in the comments too now.
Took her 12 seconds to process that response.
she really said “:3”
I think these people turn red usually in less than 12 seconds.
It already has more gay and trans people than any other city in the US by numbers. Now they just need some socialism!
I was gonna say, so it’ll be about the same, but socialist? Right on!
