People can claim that things like state run healthcare are antithetical to communist ideals, but they're really not.
Okay I never actually said that. Obviously every Communist/Socialist country has public healthcare. So do many countries that are not
Communist/Socialist. It's objectively superior to the alternative* by every metric other than "Rich people make more money".
*The sole exception being Canada of course, who found a way to come up with a worse system. At least under Trudeau.
No one convinced anyone that black is white. The democrats push for communism/socialism...
When? Where do they advocate for socialism? Most of their policies seem to be based around capitalist corruption. They funnel money into for-profit
corporations that pay them to do so. All the Green, ESG, DEI crap is pushed by corporations who directly profit from such policies. It's all
inherently hostile to workers rights and the working class.
How do they plan to achieve an economy based on collective ownership and empower the workers through taking their money and giving it to the rich? How
do they improve conditions for the working class overall by purposefully hiking the cost of living and implementing a bunch of crappy taxes that
disproportionately affect the poor for the benefit of their favoured corporations and their investors? How does dividing people along racial and
gender lines create a united proletariat blind to division that can topple the bourgeoise? Why are their supporters overwhelmingly from the bourgeois
class if they support Socialism/Communism?
This is the opposite of any form of socialism or communism (or even fascism) ever conceived by a human being.
If a Communist Dictatorship were to pop into existence overnight in America the Democrats and their principle supporters in the media, academia and
business would be amongst the first against the firing wall. They are the antithesis to the body of work that can be called Marxism.
