You guys don't understand what communism is, your head is full of rightwing and US state department propaganda, so I'm here to try to explain it to you.
You'll be surprised to know it's incredibly non-ideological as far as policy is concerned. It's not about any specific set of policies or laws.
Instead, it's about class struggle. It's a movement that holds: >1) That society is defined by class struggle between the rich (borgeois) (oppressors) and the lower classes (proletariat) (oppressed) >2) Whether you call it "national socialism" or "MAGA" or "the GOP" or "the kulaks" or "fascism" or "neoconservatism" or "libertarianism" or even "moderate democrat" in most cases, in the end it's all the same thing. Everything on the rightwing revolves around political movements to attain power for the wealthy and already-powerful And thus >3) All politics must be seen through the lens of this class struggle. And thus >4) Communists seek to provide a political party that exists purely to advocate for the interests of the working class and poor
That's it. I mean that's literally it. It's literally that simple.
It has nothing to do with "you will own nothing and like it" or any of the other false rightwing propaganda
To the contrary, a communist society would actively seek to provide home ownership to as many people as humanly possible, rather than reserving that right simply for the rich as is done under capitalism.
Also of note: This has nothing to do with markets, or free markets, or abolishing markets. Capitalism indeed has nothing to do with "free markets" and other fake libertarian rhetoric you hear around the issue. Capitalism is a set of far right property laws under which the government dictates that the wealthy own property and not the poor. Furthermore, through institutions such as rent, debt, foreclosure and eviction, the government will seize the property of the poor and redistribute it to the rich
This is the fundamental injustice of capitalist society that most communists are seeking to abolish. As advocates for the poor and working class, we simply do not agree with a system of government that uses it's property laws to rob from the poor and give to the rich
>But isn't communism about gays and blacks? No. As communists we hold that identity politics is a means used by the bourgeois to separate the proletariat (again, poor and working class) and get them to vote against their own economic interests (AKA voting for the rightwing)
. If you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them.

Fuck authoritarian governments of any type you weak little slave bitch.

The US doesn't have capitalism. Due to the amount of government spending, our economy is central planning. The US government is 46.179% of the US GDP. Compare this to China in which China's government is 36.980% of their GDP.
We don't have capitalism.
Anthony Flores
I'm not going to embrace any ideology which ignores the reality of race and its consequences.
Well as explained here capitalism simply is property law that stipulates a government procure property for the rich and rob the poor. It has nothing to do with "free markets" or anything involved in "libertarianism". So yes, you have capitalism.
Note also that in order to have property law, which you very much believe in as a "libertarian", you need to pay taxes of some sort at minimum

Whenever I see "(continued)" I know its a reddit tranny nigger. Nice try red, your lies have no place here.
Wyatt Stewart
Well fine but it's not about ignoring the reality of race. It's about understanding how race and identity is used by the bourgeois to divide and thus oppress the proletariat
How many times have you as a rightwinger in your life voted against social programs like universal healthcare that would help you. And you voted against them for the sake of racism and some imaginary drummed up "culture war"
