Dude I WISH Democrats were Marxist. Why do they always make Democrats seem better than they are.

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.

The fact that they think the modern Democratic Party is Marxist is crazy

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.”

It’s the same category as “woke” like this book:

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.

Damn trannies, ruining women’s sports (that I don’t watch anyway). How would you like it if a female you knew had to use a bathroom with a …. Woman?

That’s why I like electric vehicles: no damn trannies. Gasoline engines are so woke! Wait ……

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.

I’m starting to like those ideas… don’t threaten me with a good time. (Can’t be worse than the global oligarchy we currently have).

I believe a limit on capital may better serve the citizens, or maybe a markup maximum? Maybe not having 30% APR as an allowable finance charge.

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.

The down votes indicate that. I’m not really understanding so I’m ready to just accept the hate and move on. 🤷

Oh sorry did the consequences of your vote come sooner than you thought?

The democrats could literally have the exact same platform as the GOP and these brainlets would still think they were “commies trying to destroy muh free rights and guns”. Whats funny is that the Dems arent even too far off from that.

I honestly believe someone could run as a Republican on the whole “it was better back then” train utilizing most of the Republican official platforms from the 1960-1970s. It’s pretty damned close to the basics the Dems have been talking about and not accomplishing because of obstructionism.

It’s clear with modern Rs you don’t even need to explain anything, just say you’re going back to the good old days when the US was powerful, etc. and hijack the current bullshit machine. Then push through the actual platform of the time, with receipts. Force them to face the fact their party has been hijacked.

Shit the democrats could run the exact same platform that the GOP is accusing them of and their voter turnout would explode! If Biden was as based as the GOP wants you tell you he is I would have had no problem voting for him again. The deep state cabal sounds like some cool folks that can get shit done.

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.
