Since Halloween is around the corner I was thinking how the Chinese slang for white people "gweilo" just means "ghost person." It's pretty funny.
As a man who you can look at and immediately tell that every last one of my ancestors came from , accurate lmao
Me rn: 
 Under Communism we will do our best to eliminate the differences between how the rich and poor live!
 Under Communism they will do their best to eliminate the differences between how the rich and poor live!
Remember when mike pence said the left wants the poor to be “comfortable” as if that was the worst thing ever
What a ghoul
communism is when capitalism
I had to uproot my life and move countries just to avoid going homeless again, while working full time and not for the minimal wage. Capitalism is murder. Private landlords shouldn't exist. Social and private inhabited by owner housing should be the only options for permanent housing. Fuck landleeches.
Private landlords shouldn't exist
landlords aren't even good for capitalism they suck money from the system and are a source of investment that doesn't add to the productive forces. Liberals have been so obsessed with fighting communists that they forgot that landlords were the first enemy liberalism had to fight and that the liberal framework doesn't work in a rentier economy
Chuds think :the-democrat: 🟰 :hammer-sickle:
Democrats are slightly less likely to bulldoze a homeless encampment, so they are more visible in states and cities run by democrats.
Therefore, to the yankee chud, Communism is when you notice homeless people. Nevermind that democrats are fully in favor of capitalism or that the United States has, for over half a century, only ever embraced "market solutions" to the housing shortage.
Democrats are slightly less likely to bulldoze a homeless encampment,
 only slightly
I think this is them saying under communism I would have to live like that.
They cant think outside the status quo and believe in hierarchy.
I think hes saying that communism is nothing more than an inversion of hierarchy and that I would be at the bottom. Our current system correctly identifies the ubermench and puts him in his place. Communism means that people like me live in tents.
Communism is when bad things happen to people. Capitalism is when good things happen to people. Except people means white or man or cishet or able bodied or some combination.
Really the perfect avatar for the boomer humor 'gommunism no housing' guy
Fred Flintstone was like the casting mold for the boomers that grew up watching him. 
There was a family friend I spent a lot of time with growing up who may have actually been Fred Flintstone, he looked the part well enough anyway.
He became a cop 
"Third week of FredFlinstone-maxxing I'm now a cop"
It isn't perfect but I would rather live in a tent society an not pay rent than whatever the fuck I am doing now.
there isn't a plan this is just the result of an aggregate of short sighted and selfish decisions as a consequece of an economic system that incentivises short sighted and selfish decisions
