i cannot believe how many decades a single word has had a chokehold on this country with zero sense of political nuance
Yup. Decades of Cold War propaganda, an incompetent news media, and a binary, two-party duopoly that positions itself as “the right” versus “the left” have all worked together on this one.
The media aren’t incompetent, they’re complicit
The Russian Revolution freaked the capitalists out and they’ve done everything they could for nearly a century to demonize the concept of solidarity
The cold war has been over for almost as long as it went on…
And I still continually find people on the internet calling Russia communist. It’s enough to make a communist scream.
Nah, it never ended. It just became multipolar and (usually) less obvious.
Ok, sure. But the whole red scare was specifically about the bipolar part with focus on the Soviet Union
Nuance doesn’t even enter the conversation when it comes to communism. Republicans tell lies based on their voters inability to understand the basic definition of communism.
If communism/socialism mean the less fortunate get help, Jesus Chris is a communist then.
An irony that 100% of Christian Nationalists will never appreciate.
He absolutely was
Not positive about JC being a communist, but certainly a socialist.
“We are all brothers” look pretty communist, even anarchist, to me.
Ah so a misogynist /s
Yes but they don’t like that version of Jesus. Or when you point out things they don’t like from the Bible
Jesus was an all American hero!
lol every time they try to fear monger about Harris and Walz they just make them cooler. idiots.
“if she wins everybody gets free healthcare”
“he’s a socialist”
“she wants communism”
well sign me the fuck up then, you dodo.
They’ve been screaming about socialism and communism for over 20 years now. The next wave of voters has become numb to this bullshit talking point.
It’s kind of how in the past they were screaming that gays are going to kill marriages for 20 years, then people finally saw through their bullshit so now they are attacking trans people.
Republican talking points are always fear mongering and lies. My entire life they have NEVER provided a solution to anything. It’s constant hysteria and then reactionary bullshit like the patriot act and Iraq war that has made things infinitely worse.
Republicans want to seem tough, but they are some of the most scared, biggest bitches you’ll ever meet. They are literarily afraid of bathrooms…
20? More like 45-65 years.
The problem they have is that communism was a real enemy of the US with examples of autocratic governments worldwide that were well known and scary to people.
However, now that everyone can Google “what is communism” and “what is socialism” only the most incurious morons fall for the “that’s socialism!” lines of attack. Everyone else simply laughs about it.
It really doesn’t help that Republicans are openly talking about how they want to setup and autocracy/monarchy which is exactly the scary part of former/current communist states. Nor does it help that whenever Republicans are labeling something communist, it’s loved social programs such as libraries, social security, or Medicare.
Even if you’re not a communist, socialist, left leaning American, what the right and capitalism offer isn’t somehow better.
Can’t they hire someone to help them with their memes?
clearly a failure of the free market.
Yeah but they use LinkedIn so it’s just a recursive exercise.

Goddamn musk is such a fucktard.
Every time he posts he makes himself look dumber.
I wish she wanted communism! Then I would be excited instead of just lukewarm about voting for her.
Dems: Hey, we have policies are that going to help other people have more of the same rights you have…
Them: THEY’RE TAKIN’ MUY RIGHTS AWAY!!!
Dems: We’re not taking anyone’s rights away, other people are just…
Them: MARXIST COMMUNIST SOCIALISM!!
Hey, when did you meet my family…?
Dare I even fucking ask what “Autism Capital” is?
Given the rainbow puzzle piece and the name, I’m guessing an ableist right-wing meme account presenting themselves as neurodivergent.
Far right shills trying to be hip with the kids, in other words.
The moment someone on the internet self-diagnosed the right wing caught on.
I don’t know what that means.
It is a common defense on the right to feign autism when called out as it usually terminates or diverts the topic.
Musk sycophants coming to his defense in the comments by quoting “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” 🤦♂️
Those idiots WOULD quote the most based thing Marx ever said to attack communism! 😂🤦
Lol, Elon is such a fucking idiot.
Apparently it’s getting the rich to pay their fair share of taxes.
Was Trump a communist when he gave us those stimulus checks? Would Kamala be a communist if she implemented Universal Basic Income?
Whatever gets their voters out of mommy’s basement
This guy is world’s richest man…
He is not. He is the richest reported man. There are families that do not publicly report their net worth. There are very likely trillionaires out there. Putin, for example.
Saudis.
Doesn’t change the fact that this man child has alot of influence on world politics
Meme from the guy getting government “socialist” incentives.
Cops are NOT welcome in communism. They’ll already have spent time up against the wall if society ever evolves. ACAB, even ‘at least they aren’t the shitgibbon’
Well, it’s never happened that way in real life, but the dream lives on I suppose. Maybe Cuba? I’m not super familiar with the aftermath of their revolution, but Castro stayed a leader until he died, which seems unlikely in a democratic or otherwise non-authoritarian state.
