Let's be honest here: when these "activists" say "communism", all that they mean is "we want to do nothing and have everything". Surprise, surprise - it is called "parasitism"; communism is a completely different thing.

To be fair, 99.999% of those who cries for "democracy" or "capitalism" don't know anything about those things too, which is understandable - they went to the same propaganda shops, err, I mean, US schools as the above "activists".
I think you are far underestimating their power. Those fighting for communism control education, social media, much of big tech, and a growing number of government positions.

FYI - it's Karl Marx. And he did define communism fairly well......in his typical rambling fashion.


It's takes about an hour to charge through this.

Or about three minutes to read and ponder the 10 planks...

Regulating companies is not communism, it's common sense. I have never, ever heard any alleged communist in the United States espouse any of the tenets of communism

What?

Not only have I heard communists and socialists espouse multiple, sometimes most of the ten planks. Most Americans support at least one or two.........usually a stiff and progressive income tax. (we have that) and public schools (we have that).


Significantly regulation of business is the new socialism.


ETA - it may be important to point out that I've taught a number of economics courses - mostly graduate school. Along the way I've been regaled with endless related opinions.

"The only solution is commie revolution"
I say we give it to them and secede.

Let the leftists states devolve into Mozambique and South Africa. Of course, even after such a horrific descent, they still would not understand how it happened and would blame someone else.

Liberals are like a toddler sitting in soiled diapers. They cry, fuss, and throw a tantrum, but have no clue that they are the cause of their discomfort.

Of course they have been demanding socialism for several years now. Now we see what they really want.....an American Bolshevik revolution.

Traitors every last one of them. Anyone who would demand a communist revolution in America does not deserve to breath our free air. They have openly declared that they are enemies of the United States.

There it is. That is exactly the problem. The 'we just want to be left alone to live our lives' crowd has done nothing beyond voting for a suit every 4 years. They've done nothing to stop it, because that requires actual work.

Are you saying they don't have the right to speak their minds about the changes they want? That's patently ridiculous.
