I don't think the difference between it and fascism is historically significant. It's authoritarian dictatorship with some grand collectivist design. The result being pain and suffering for the powerless masses. It's lunacy to shift that blame to political opponents in our country... a political trick for leftist consumption. Why the leftists/liberals fall for this shit is the issue... who would really want socialism given its history? Nobody with a clear head... that's for sure.
Who's defending Communism? Fuck communism. It's a failed system that gets horrible, nightmarish results. Who's denying any of that? Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, all horrible creators of mass death. I know lots of Democrats and I don't know a single one who wants Communism.
You also seem to equate Democrats with Socialists. Now, I know a few Dems who lean toward socialism, but socialism and Communism aren't the same thing by a long shot. And most I know aren't wanting any extreme version of socialism. But, in any case, not all Dems are socialist, either. That's why Bernie didn't win. I'm not big on socialism. Really, I'm mostly a centrist. I'm fine with smaller government (as long as it's
effective), I'm good with the death penalty (in fact, I'd like to expand it to cover rapists and child abusers), I'm in favor of gun control but I have firearms and will buy more. I think Bernie had nice ideas but was full of shit about how they could be implemented.
You seem to think everybody who's not on your side is Josef Stalin. And this is only
one of the many areas where you're just as dumb-as-hammered-shit, and why you get the bad reaction you get. It's part of the reason I gave up on trying to be nice to you even though you swear you're a good-natured guy and we both have great cats and all that. Even though you're tiresomely stupid and having you around is like putting up with a loud child at the table while adults are talking, I tried to play along with you for a while to be polite. Then you wore me out with all this "comrade" shit, making it clear you
wanted things to be at an adversarial level. I'm an accommodating bastard -- you make clear to me how you want to be treated, and I'll damn sure treat you that way. The Nazi-apologist junk was the last straw, I have zero tolerance for that shit, so I just gave up on treating you with any respect. You're determined to be a asshole, so, fine, I'll help you. And, it's better that way -- I get less disappointed and I don't have to bust my ass trying to find good in someone who, honestly, doesn't have much.
But, yeah, Republicans aren't disliked because everyone else is a "Communist." People don't like you for a lot of reasons. Here's just a few:
- when white supremacists show up with swastika flags and machine guns, running over people, you give them a pass and complain instead about the people resisting them. And THEN you get mad if people think you're racist. What else are people supposed to think, given your behavior? Spotting Nazis as the bad guys is not difficult! Just fucking
once I'd like to see ya'll say, "Yeah, it's wrong to terrorize non-white races that way, and we're going to stand with you to put an end to it." But you don't. For some reason, us hating Nazis makes
you defensive. Like Joani up there, saying "they want to paint all white people as Nazis." Why would you even
think some ridiculous horseshit like that unless you're sympathizing, somehow, with the white supremacists more than you do the people they're victimizing? That's just
weird to me. I don't think every Republican is a racist, I know for a fact that many aren't... but
some of ya'll, man, you make it really difficult to cut you slack when you get so defensive about a bunch of fucking goose-steppers and say the people resisting them are the
real bad guys. Nazis terrorized a town with torches, automatic weapons, Hitler-era slogans, and they murdered a woman and hospitalized a bunch of others... and all I've heard from right-wingers since is "Antifa!" And you don't realize how
weird that is, that you see that situation and
that's the enemy you picked. I'm sorry if ya'll feel I'm being ungenerous with your feelings, but really, in this case, fuck you and your feelings.
- I don't really hate you for not understanding what it's like in this country for people who aren't just like you. What I hate you for is knowing that even if you
did understand it,
you wouldn't care. You basically want to be selfish assholes and have everyone view that as "okay." It's
not okay. And nobody's doing you a favor by helping you get away with that.
- ya'll constantly talk about the Jesus shit whenever there's anything you don't like -- gays being with who they like or women making their own decisions or people wanting to learn science or whatever -- but when it comes to actually acting like Jesus... ya'll not only
don't do it, you sneer at those who do. "Social Justice Warriors." You hate 'em. If Jesus came back you'd call him a hippie faggot and cheer for Ann Coulter while she mocked him. You're all about "freedom" until somebody uses it for something that makes you feel icky, and then it's back to full-on authoritarianism. I don't believe in your religion, but I'm not the one who wrecked it -- you did.
- your policies
do not work and its absolutely provable by looking at the states who elect the most conservatives... and you won't acknowledge it because you don't care. You're brainwashed and you
want to be brainwashed. You don't want to make things better... you just want to "piss off the libtards." And that's it.
- and, yeah, you think everybody who's not with you is a "Commie." That simple-mindedness gets tiresome. It never occurs to you that there are a whole lot of reasons for not picking your side. Honestly, every year there's less and less room in your party for anybody but far-right idiots. I'm not a Democrat because I love Democrats. I don't. I'm a Democrat because I only have two real choices, and one of 'em is a complete non-starter. You guys ran
Trump. If you don't see how
embarrassing that is, not just for your party, but this country, then you're never gonna get it. The Democratic party isn't just "the left" at this point -- it's also the only option for centrists. And that's why I'm in it. I'm not a Democrat because I love them... I'm a Democrat because I don't want to be one of
you. That would embarrass the shit out of me, being in a party that had Sarah Palin or Donald Trump as viable candidates, that believe FOX News's bullshit was true. You're a
joke at this point. You're self-parody. You're a non-option for anyone who likes to
think.So, talk about "Communists" all you want. All you're doing is displaying your gross misunderstanding of what's actually going on. You're fighting an enemy that doesn't exist, and it's driving you to support things you really shouldn't support.
That's
real dumb, but, you're committed.
