A New Red Scare Is Coming

[pecksniff]

17-minute video. Take warning.

There will, of course, be a lot of worthless asstards on this board who will cheer on this tendency.

If we shed ourselves of a few commies, where's the harm?

 

[YDB95]

Coming, as in not already here? When is the last time a single day went by without you hearing the usual suspects call Biden a communist?

 

[adrina]

Fear and rage - it's their thing.

The projection is strong with this one.

It's not like we had an adequate supply to begin with.

 

[Sean Renaud]

ITs coming? Its been here for years and years. Did you not live through the Obama years?

 

[CornusKousa]

One is far too many.

No different than when you see a rat or roach. You take preventive measures right away. You don't want to let it get out of hand.

Predictable.

America needs a real left more than it needs anything else right now. And no, the Dems don't qualify.

The 20th century already showed us that we don't need the kind of left you want.

If you clicked on the video, which I'm sure you haven't, you will have noted it draws relevant comparisons to the 1950s Red Scare -- a time when the McCarthyites were always issuing dire warnings about Communist infiltration in universities, labor unions, civic organizations . . . But, in fact, nothing of the kind was happening at all. Soviet archives show the USSR was funding the marginal and irrelevant CPUSA and maybe once in a great while got some intel from it, but that is as deep as their fingers ever reached here.

Their kind was wrong then -- always, about everything -- so why should we believe your kind now?

The kind of left I want is social democracy, which demonstrably works a whole lot better than what we've got here now.

 

[CornusKousa]

No, it never has and it still doesn't.

Yes they do, that's what is degrading our right wing nation.

The kind of left I want is social democracy, which demonstrably works a whole lot better than what we've got here now.

Then you're going to have to build it from the ground up not the top down.

This is the USA, not N. Korea... once you figure that out, you might get it, if you move out of Florida to a blue state.

 

[pecksniff]

. . . our right wing nation.

Didn't we discuss this yesterday? You favor the nordic model?

it's fucking 2021, people. who gives a shit about communism? it never worked, it never will. it's almost as irrelevant as capitalism. can we just move along?

It didn't work, but some people won't let that skid mark in the history of humanity stay in the history books. They keep making the "that wasn't real..." crap. At least people with common sense admit fascism was a bad experiment. We tried it in the 30s and accepted it that was a bad idea.

Because socialism remains relevant and too many people see anything and everything of the kind as a variant on Stalinism.

 

[pecksniff]

Yes, and don't give me any bullshit about how it only works there because their culture is better suited.

Thus say the idiots who still believe in such egregiously failed experiments from the Reagan era as supply-side economics, across the board deregulation, economic libertarianism, decentralist New Federalism, the Laffer curve . . . It'll work this time, we just haven't tried the real thing yet! A rising tide will lift all boats!

Our Nation suffered from 2017 through 2020 an arrogant, egotistical dictator want to be. He did everything he could get away with to prepare our Nation for a dictatorship. He followed Reagan's failed economic plan, cut taxes big time for the rich while giving the middle and lower class a very small tax cut that would be eaten up by inflation. He held our Nation hostage if Congress did not approve money for his wall that he promised our Nation Mexico would pay for. He did this three years out of four. Very few of his cabinet appointments were ever Senate approved so that he could install a new person with involving the Senate. He was trying our government as he treated his companies where he could as he pleased when he pleased. Had he been re-elected he would hand over our Nation to Putin so he could build a hotel in Moscow.

We can just move along when the left stops pushing for it!!

Get your hand out of other peoples pockets.... you fucking losers.

Keep em' rolling.... you know it's true!!

Because socialism remains relevant and too many people see anything and everything of the kind as a variant on Stalinism.

You still want the government to take from the haves just to take from the haves because "it's not FAIR!!" .

Same old shit... always leads to the same place.

Awwwww.... comrade tigersman is sad we had a neo-liberal POTUS instead of socialist.

Tigersman, must be trying to make up for fighting on the wrong side during the Vietnam conflict.

Fox, Trump, Steve Bannon, Hannity, Ingrahm etc .. are talking about a "left" that does not exist. So you are afraid of a bogyman that your masters ae telling you to fear.

Try paying attention to what is really happening out there in the real world.
