Most Republicans think Russia is a communist country
And we want these people to have a say in the means of production....
Help! I can feel the liberalism in me reforming!
This is why a cultural revolution period and reducation camps are sometimes not just necessary but in the long run a good thing.
How the hell does that happen? The end of communism in Russia is basic-ass history I knew since I was, like, 10.
I imagine it’s because China is friendly with them, and the US is still enemies with Russia so they just latch onto the last reincarnation of Russia because it’s easier than analyzing what changed
Leaded gasoline, the standstill of Amerikkkan life, and being lied to 24/7 in different directions causes some real brainrot.
I think it got the drone strikes right
I don't think the average American knows what communism means other than associating it with something negative. Saying a country is communist just means it's bad.
Americans interpret political ideologies as personal moral characteristics rather than representing economic distribution systems. Capitalism just means innovative but greedy, socialist means altruistic, and communism just means scary bad things with red flags.
I think part of this is the lack of concrete understanding of what communism means to the average American. It just means "bad place that does bad things." You could probably get a plurality of Americans to say Mexico is communist too if you frame the question right.
