Because while liberals have a vague, uselessly imprecise understanding of what some unimportant words mean, like liberal and socialist, the conservative base holds knowing things in active contempt and the leadership likes to keep them that way.
Their entire echo chamber is paid to say that over and over and over so it just becomes reality to them. I explained to a coworker that basically anyone that even slightly understands Marxism hears the right say that nonsense and it sounds like if I were to say "Donald Trump is a vegan organic farmer."
Hallmark of brainwashing. Bypass critical thinking with vague statements of the outsiders "evil", but keeps followers from actually thinking about what they are saying with those statements.
I looked it up and see, "Marxism is an economic and political theory that examines the flaws inherent in capitalism. It's primarily based on the work of German philosopher and economist Karl Marx. 1. Marxist theories were influential in the development of socialism, which advocates for the shared ownership of the means of production by workers"
... That sounds like it aligns with how I see it. I like to examine the flaws in capitalism and I don't think that we, as a group, are benefitting from once CEO per company making an ass load of money via greed. Am I Marxist or no?
Don't confuse "post-Marxist understanding" with "being a Marxist."
Marx defined and described an ontology that even his opponents use as tools to describe the economy - but it wouldn't make sense to call opponents of Marx as 'Marxists' would it?
Just examining flaws in and of itself isn't socialism, although arguably saying capitalism has no flaws is pro-capitalist.
Instead of checking a dictionary, do you want to ask actual Marixists what they think of the Democratic Party? You can find plenty of them around here. They tend not to have anything nice to say about the Democrats, and would be insulted at the comparison.
I thought the whole point was that the dems are liars and the reps just openly say "how it is". Nothing changed, MAGA did not change their rhetoric. I'd really like to know what goes on in their heads.
This small vocal fraction of MAGA on social media is so insignificant and irrelevant to most of the people who voted for Trump. There’s absolutely no chance my dumbass aunt is aware of any of this.
The full scale of the finding out part will occur in 2028. Yes, the USA is going to be a massive train wreck with Putin's Sock Puppet increasing socialism to cover up his failures. For example, farm subsidies in 2017 were around $7 billion and in 2020, he nailed $23 billion. The abused Payment Protection Plan...$953 billion down the drain. We'll see if the Louisiana bird flu really mutates and busts out of the red run turd hole.
This is the perfect opportunity. MAGAs have been betrayed by their leader, and their leader (Musk) is inviting dozens of scabs from other countries to do what would otherwise be high paying jobs for peanuts.
We can turn the Left Vs. Right Dichotomy into a Rich Vs. Poor one. Much better odds
The people at fox "news" won't do that, they're the rich and paid by other rich people, and the MAGA masses are too brainwashed by them to listen to anyone else
it would be comedic to sit back and watch it all implode, if it weren't for the fact that there are dire crises elsewhere in the world that are flaring and will continue to flare regardless of what looney tunes are going on in America.
Say what you will about 2016-2020. But at least we didn't have "Russia takes off the mask, shows itself to be a regime of genocidal fascists, and starts full scale war" or "Israel Palestine Thunderdome round 6" like last time. to name a few
Its a dangerous time for one of the adults to have left the room . when it comes to world stability.
Amusing that Russia is the one taking off the mask. Feels like the government of Israel is the one who took off the mask and revealed a regime of genocidal fascists. Putin took that mask off years back.
No, he really didnt. Denialists believed right up until Feb 2022 that he was just a chest pounding schemer too afraid to actually plunge his country into actual war. despite sanctions, we still had a relationship, albeit cold , with russia, now we are more or less at war with each other.
