Two things people REALLY need to study...
Real communism
What freedom of speech is.

It is apparent nobody understands anymore.

PS. Yes the tech giants are shutting down certain people, #1 are they private companies MUCH like the Christian bakers that don’t want to bake gay wedding cakes? It seems like everyone was all for It’s their business it’s their right except with it comes back to slap them in the face on a larger scale.

#2 Is anything in world preventing conservatives from starting their own social media sites?

Hm....

So what you are saying, is Make Segregation Great Again?

Seriously... people really need to understand what these words mean...

Communism, socialism, Fascism, Nazism

people just throw them around without the actual understand of the TRUE meaning

If you really believe that the US hasn't had an empire you haven't been paying a lot of attention after WW2. How many countries does the US have military bases in? Wiki Link - take a look and see how many countries the US has a presence in. There is an absolutely massive presence all over the world, and with a military apparatus like that, they can reach out and touch someone any time they like. That's just an official list, we all know that there are other sites that they do not disclose.

In fact there are several bases in the UK. Are there any UK bases in the US?

Twitter isn't a govt

"Communist"..the new "racist" overused words!

How many countries apart from The US are governed from Washington ?

Answer, None. That is what having an Empire is all about. And America don't have one.

The US doesn't install US citizens to govern other countries, they overthrow elected officials via the CIA. Officially no countries aside from the US are governed from Washington, unofficially I would like to think that you and I both know the answer to that. There are overt empires and covert empires, the US has a covert empire. Every single country that the US engages with militarily eventually gets caught up in that covert empire in some fashion.

Queen Elizabeth II is Head Of State of 16 countries around the world. How many countries is The President of The US Head Of State ?

Answer, one. That's what having an Empire is all about. American doesn't have an Empire.

I know it's futile to try and convince you, however if you are at least open to the notion of learning more link. If not, I completely understand, and wish you a good day.

If you want to use Wiki,here is a list of all Empires past and present. The US don't appear on it.

en.wikipedia.org...

The wiki you linked was probably written by an American.

However i will be fair. America has " influence " which is not the same as having an Empire.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck? Chances are?... It's a duck.
Anti-Communism used to be taught in America public education. She's old enough to remember her training. That said, it doesn't take a lot of "education" to understand what Twitter is doing.

Nikki's absolutely right!

The better question, for an educated and self thinking individual and not a trained monkey, would be? ...Why does Twiiter and company, even care? What do they have to lose or gain, by allowing "freedom of expression" and belief.

Should Bic stop selling pens to conservative thinkers? So they don't spew thoughts to paper? Stop selling cigarette lighters to Antifa? So they don't burn public trashcans?

Communism, Socialism, Fascism and Democracy all lead, to the same kind of "civilization".
Karl Marx actually thought "democracy" was an "ideal" form of "government". That wasn't because he thought it was an "ideal" form government.
But he understood human nature and people like you. Very easy to manipulate.

Communism can be a "Republic". Every Communist nations "title", has the word "Republic" in it. All a Republic is? Is a "law" or set of "Standards", that a "civilization/nation" lives by,...or is forced (by law) to live by. May as well just have a monarchy. No?

Makes me laugh when "American Democrats or Republicans" use the words, "Democracy" and "Republic", as if the two words mean the same. They do not, and never have.

Last time I looked Twitter was a private company, they have Terms and Conditions just like ATS does. If an individual breaks them - consistently then it's only right they deal with it - just like ATS would. That's not communism, it's a company exercising its rights.

All this whining is getting unseemly now.

Maybe "conservatives" could reframe the situation.

Imagine Twitter is a baker.

Imagine Trump is a gay couple.

Does the baker have the right to refuse service to the gay couple?

You misunderstand what Marx meant by democracy.

He meant direct participatory democracy, everything run by the workers at the bottom of the wealth creation pyramid, with no state. The state "withers away" because it is no longer has a function, it's no longer needed in a true democracy. The same end as free market capitalism and liberterianism.

People are easier to manipulate than you realise.

By law?
Because many of us Americans, have spent a better part of our youth, "training" to "destroy" you SOBs!..

I have a decent workable knowledge and education. "U.S. Army" was my "higher education". .. Meh! It is, what it is!... But I swore an oath to a "Republic", not a "democracy".

So I should "learn first"?.... "Communism"? . Root word? Being, and meaning, "Communal"?
So if I lived in a "civilization" of idiots? I should do a, .. "When in Rome."? ...Kinda Deal?


So when the heathen come into, and occupy my country. .... I should learn "their ways"?.. To promote "understanding" and "democracy" and at the same time? Give them, a "Democratic" vote/say?..

Yeah? I get you. Really, I do!

Keep talking.

Influence enough to have the former master join in on a war that was predicated on nothing but speculation. Call it whatever you want, if it's influence, that's some pretty potent influence isn't it? Things have changed a little since the Obama and Trump administrations, but not very long ago the US could say jump and the UK would be in the air before asking how high.

First, I am not a Communist, but I understand it, I have read about it, and more than just the Wikipedia articles, or what other people say on the internet...

you don't even have a basic understanding of Communism

but keep worshiping a Republic

a reply to: alldaylong

We can hope so, however Biden is an unknown quantity on that. Does he take the track of Obama and to a degree Trump where it's just drone strikes? Or does he get us involved in more wars without a cause that benefits the world, only the interests of the banks and those in charge. If it's the first, I would say you're right. If it's the second, I bet ol' Boris over there would be happy to bend the knee and have that kind of cash coming in since the divorce from the EU.

Last time we where asked we said no.

MPs have rejected possible UK military action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government to deter the use of chemical weapons.

David Cameron said he would respect the defeat of a government motion by 285-272, ruling out joining US-led strikes.

The US said it would "continue to consult" with the UK, "one of our closest allies and friends"

www.bbc.com...

Same as when we where asked to join the war in Vietnam.

The "key"?... In a "representative "democracy"/ Republic"? Is to "appoint" them/those, that can and will, "represent" YOU!

Kinda,...Like, (as if, they'd do, what YOU would do! Not being able to, be there!)... It's not "rocket science".
No King/Queen, gives "titles", to people that would work against them.. But?) Neither do serfs!
The American "Republic" was founded on A "LAW!"..Most of that "law"? Was, "The Bill of Rights"!
Most of it was telling the/A, "Fed. Government" what it "could, and couldn't, do"....The C.O.T.U.S. is a very basic read. It doesn't take a "legal scholarship" to understand it.

Historically speaking?..Pres. Lincoln and Pres. F.D.R. are probably the worst "Presidents", the "U.S. Republic" has ever had! But they are always spoken of,.. As "Saviors of the Republic".... You have to remember, the U.S.A... is less than 300 years old.

Pres. Trump was the last, ...trying to undo, what them two, destroyed.

There's a morbid, yet funny side, to "Democracy"....The "majority"? ...Will always get what they ask for, and what they deserve.
