    Look, if the communists actually had their shit together, they would have got rid of capitalism long ago, so each day of existence of capitalism and its consequences are commies’ fault!

      As expected it is always the fault of communist. Humain misery -> communist, capitalism not working -> communist, capitalism working and hurting people -> Communist. Internet down -> Co… No that one is always DNS

    Everything they ever feared about communism is coming true under capitalism.

    What they actually feared was authoritarianism. The consolidation of power. And oh fucking boy does a profit motive consolidate power real quick.

    And those who are crying about “socialism” and “communism” are often the ones that flock to an authoritarian strongman to give them the answers they seek, which are simply lies, when they face a tiny bit of insecurity.

    “Oh no, wage stagnation? Inflation? Gas prices too expesnive? What daddy? It’s the immigrants? It’s the LGBTQ community? You’re right pedo-daddy, it always was.”

    Maybe if you weren’t so weak, grew a spine, and joined with your fellow working class members you’d actually fix something.

        It’s both. They actually feared all of that, we all do. Financial insecurity, because we tied it to our survival, healthcare, shelter, food, etc, is scary. They used racism and bigotry as a simple, incorrect solution to complex problems. Both can be true at the same time.

        I’ve learned that many of these people simply can’t deal with ambiguity or complexity. If they don’t have an answer it breaks their minds. Hence why they’re so bigoted towards the LGBTQ community. If someone doesn’t fit in their predetermined boxes, even if it doesn’t affect their lives, there must be an answer and they must fit them in a box.

        They then hide behind calling it common sense and other things, trying to simplify complex problems with incorrect and bigoted thinking.

          Yeah but the stuff they complain about isn’t what they care about. They hate existing in a context. They crave death. They’re mad at how fucking stupid they are and they’re too stupid to articulate that.

            Yeah, fair enough. Most of it is projection too. They are taught to hate and they hate themselves so much because they can’t love honestly and so they drag everybody else down.

            Conservatives would be some of the kinkiest mfers if they didn’t hate themselves so much.

              Why killing Nazis isn’t an ethical dilemma. Its not that it needs to be done so badly, though it does. Its because you have the closest they can give to their consent.

    Communism never worked. The US government told me so, and they said not to look at all the times they actively tried to destroy it when a country was trying anything other than capitalism.

    Eh, put it on the list of “shit pro-capitalists do or say”, along with “point at capitalism consequence and say that’d be a consequence of communism” or “communism is when toothbrush shared”
