Wow, he wants to provide people dignity and a high quality of life. How terrifying.

This so-called "fear mongering" isn't directed to the broad US population, it is targeting the preexisting bias of lowest common denominator target audience of the right.

I'll believe it when I see it. Not to say that I'm not willing to give it a shot, fuck knows what we're doing now isn't fucking working.

We have never found a perfect political/economic system. That’s why it’s so important that we continue to evolve what we have to be better. I feel like this has stalled out in this country and we are seeing the fallout live.

Taxed and have it spent on genocide abroad.

Taxed and spent on you.

It's your choice.

[–] _AutumnMoon_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 5 hours ago

Ah, yes, famously communists love to... open grocery stores?

All of them are fucking awesome! Sign me up!

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 21 points 7 hours ago

+1 for nitter screenshots.

I don’t like contributing to Twitter in any way, but Nitter + screenshot undermines it enough to warm my heart. And informs others they can do the same!

Conservatives posting his Ws all the time. They're his best advertisers.

I don’t care what you call it, I want that. Call it doodoo pickle butting, if it offers that, sign me up for everyone else too.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 19 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Thats the thing, im past the stupid naming and everything. I just want policies that help people and not billionaires. Call it marxism, stalinism, whatever the fuck you want.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's a pathetic attempt to rile the old people who remember the cold war propaganda against communism and socialism. While young people are like "So what?"

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah sadly that doesnt work here in eastern europe because communism and even social democratism(what this actually is) is associated with the ussr which was a truly horrible regime.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Eastern Europeans are some of the most gullible people on earth. Stalin never even claimed that the USSR had achieved communism, yet somehow every grandma in his "state socialist" empire thinks full communism was reached and the state withered away like Marx predicted. They believe lies he never even told.

I understand that's the power of propaganda, but damn... It's been 40 years and most of them never bothered to sit down and learn what a communism is. I can't imagine being that willfully ignorant.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I'm surprised it's not more associated with France since social democracy is what the have going on.

You are a special kind of stupid (and brainwashed) if you think any of those things listed are bad

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 13 points 8 hours ago

And also completely unrelated to Communism.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 45 points 11 hours ago (13 children)

I find it fascinating how nowadays, basic human decency is called "woke" and "communism".

[–] don@lemmy.ca 14 points 9 hours ago

It’s the primary symptom of being infected with the broke mind virus, which effectively all republicans suffer.

[–] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 6 points 9 hours ago

There's plenty of studies showing that conservatism, sadism, and psychopathy correlate.

Welfare is not equal to handing over the means of production to the working class. So what mamdani is doing is not socialist.

[–] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 9 hours ago

You're right, is Social Democracy. But that's where we are, politically these days. The largest socialist organization in then U.S. (the DSA) is ostensibly not socialist in policy. Anything slightly left of RAGING corporate handouts and bombing brown people is COMMUNISM now.
