@kodiac I said that because you l used "the left" to refer to neoliberal pro-corporate rightwingers or at best centrists.
A typo doesn't qualify as "not knowing the words you use", because it happens *after* one has already chosen, it's merely a transcription error, not the choice of an inappropriate word or term to describe something that is completely different than its definition. When you make a typo it's not because you don't know the word you wanted to write, it's simply a mechanical error.
And no whether you like or not like "communism" has nothing to do with this. Also "communism" retains the same definition independently than one's opinion about it lmao, it's an economic theory/model, not a codeword for anything you don't like.
The OP in fact complains that right wingers call "communism" things that are completely outside itd definition and that's a factual statement you can verify in this statement:
Words can mean different things to different people, some may say communism is good ,some may say it's bad .Two meanings same word

@ArishMell
The point is that the US is already a Socialist Country. The government poured money into Space X before it received any kind of return. IMO if the government puts the same kind of investment in people in the form of education, healthcare and family well-being the Country will benefit.
My post was not about the mechanics of the investment in Space X or whether it has been good or bad. It's just that the fact the government investing tax dollars in a private company makes it Corporate Socialism. Some even call it corporate welfare.
What is the US government hoping in return for investing so much tax-payers' money in Space X?
Is it seeing Musk's company as a contractor cheaper than NASA, or something?

Millard Fillmore. Abraham Lincoln. Ronald Reagan. Barack Obama (says something about Illinois, doesn't it?). Jimmy Carter. Dubya. Hell, even Andrew Jackson, if you're that deep into modern historical revisionism.
A century from now, children will be reading the Little Golden Book titled "The boy who cried 'Trump!'", because your histrionics have become so ludicrous that no one who forms their own opinions takes any criticism of the man seriously (anyone else, I'd call it a false flag, but I don't believe the man is capable of self-criticizing). But yes, it's the fans of Trump who are cultish. Sure.

They have some understanding of drug cartels. And the long term implications of BRICS.

Clearly every American knows that communism is the political enemy of their empire.
Aami1 · 26-30, F
Just a reminder - political groups aren't a single individual with a single brain.
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
@Aami1 Isn't that the point though. The Republican Party of the USA has been somehow morphed into a movement proudly proclaiming NOT to be a traditional political party, defined by a meaningless slogan (MAGA) and owing allegiance to a single personality who lives in a fantasy world and who has surrounded himself with juvenile sycophants.
Aami1 · 26-30, F
@FreddieUK No, the point is not to misuse language (not that you're the arbiter of what -the- point in any given situation is). No matter how much i might disagree with a political group, that in no way makes them a cult, or deserving of unpersoning, or any other such garbage. They are still breathing, thinking, valuable people just like myself and yourself. Ironically, this othering approach you take fits into cult mentality.

Something tells me you don't know what communism is and where the final demise will be once enacted into power.

Not now and never has.

Does MAGA know what communism is? It's really not clear, because MAGA follows whatever Trump says, or whatever they learn from Fox and that's been consistently incorrect.
Taking control of the means of production is a pillar of communism. No progressive candidates are calling for that. At least no one who won.

It's a scam put together by the elites to fool the gullible and make money off their backs. Get a copy of None Dare call it Conspiracy.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@Munumbis Yeah... the elites are working on the evil marxist agenda that includes:
1. Establishing an income tax
2. Establishing a national bank that isn't part of the governement
3. Have this bank be the holder of National debt
4. Run the national debt, and the interest thereon, sky high through wars (or any sort of deficit spending), starting with World War I
... And they quote a 1959 document... which doesn't predate world war 1, but I guess that might be a slip up.

Abraham Larry went on to write some eco-authoritarian fan fiction for conservatives.
And Garry kept writing about how this cabal of elites is just controlling all these world events, that are all conected... while also being an advisor to a millionaire who got his money in the oil trade. Oh and being a speech writer of the "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever"-guy aka George Wallace. ... Because there has to be a little bit of racism in there somewhere right Munubmbis?
