      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.

    My general response is to ask them to define communism and socialism, highlighting the differences between the two. The results will surprise you \s

    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.

      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…
