Man, communism really never meant anything other than "shit we don't like" in America.

My favorite modern example is 'Marxist corporations'

I regularly think about how many of our sweet old grandparents were among these crowds.

How many of our doting loving grandmother's were hurling racial slurs at the top of their lungs?

How many grandfather's strung up the rope for the lynch mob?

These things ended less than a full generation ago

They couldn't define "communism" then, they can't define "socialism" now. No change.

Oh shit. I didn't even realize. We implemented desegregation and we've been a communist state ever since! Holy fuck!

Did they had a lot of blacks in communist USSR in the 60s?

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I don't know about blacks but they had a lot of reds. /s

It just goes to show how empty and dishonest racist rhetoric really is.

[–] zzzz@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

And anti-communist rhetoric, for that matter.
