You are confusing economic positioning and political positioning. Look at the Nolan or Eysenck model. The problem is that communists always come to power with "good" slogans and they promise the crowd what it wants (even if they don't believe it themselves), but after they consolidate their power, their rule turns into a dictatorship.
You're looking at 12 years out of 16 of democrat rule right now.
Does America look like anything communist to you?
Exactly yes. I don't know how old you are, but if you are old enough (and have a good memory), you should see the trend. The US is turning from a meritocracy and a free country into a dump where everyone is concerned with "equality of outcome" (which is fucking inconsistent with meritocracy), hatred of the rich, attempts to limit freedom of speech and gun ownership.
Let's make an experiment here and make a topic about corporations in the US you will see that instantly everyone who was calling the Democrats socialist and communist suddenly makes a 180 degree turn and says that corporations own everything in the US, we are all slaves, rich get richer and so on, that socialism is needed! Grin
Wanna bet on it?
Don't you think that imaginary fantasies cannot be an argument?
Look at the history of Russia, when communists came to power, in some issues they were the most progressive in the world at that time - getting rid of religious oppression, removing sexual taboos, progressive attitude to the racial issue, etc.
What alternative history did you read?
When communists came to power (via a civil war) they nationalized everything, introduced the war communism economy movement, collectivization that ended with the famine of 1921, the genocide of Kulaks, and so on.
If you're thinking of the Declaration of Rights that was a joke, probably Lenin and Stalin were laughing their ass out while writing that, the first thing Lenin did was expropriate all churches and declare
that religion is opium and destructive to society. Racial stuff, let's not even go there!
LMAO
The Holodomor and the destruction of the kulaks (normal peasants) was the beginning of the 30s. After the civil war, the communists, while maintaining political power, introduced the NEP - "new economic policy" (essentially old capitalism).
What don't you understand about the words "freedom from religious oppression"?
If you don't understand, then read the criminal code that was in place under the tsar who was overthrown by the communists and under which people were slaves of the church.
As for the racial issue - will you deny that in the USSR it was solved 50-60 years earlier than in the USA? Officially segregation in the USA was banned only in 1964, hahaha, I hate communists but here they were much more progressive.
Friend, I'm from Russia, so I just find it funny when you write about history that you don't know.
As for corporations, they are anti-market by nature: they have won the competition and now want to secure their victory. They advocate regulation, licensing, quotas, and other things that raise the threshold for entering the market. Therefore, corporations try to merge with the state machine (against people). These are the basics.
You still haven't explained how an economy run by corporations is a communist one!
But let's go one further, if those corporations are bad as you say, why aren't you supporting democrats taxing them more and you're supporting Trump who wants tax cuts for them? It's a bit hard for me to understand why you want to take the side of the ones who are agsint the people, this in your own words!
You asked a question, I gave you an answer.
And speaking of communism, why are corporations endorsing Kamala if she wants to turn the US a commie state?
The fact that you don’t understand the answer is a problem of understanding.
You yourself write that it is difficult for you to understand why corporations support additional taxes (which further increases the price of entry into the market and cements their position of dominance). I have already written about this, just reread it.
