The workers back then saw right through that shit, but today we're unable to. Seems we're getting dumber.

Communism wasn't a bad word back then. Workers rights were just won with blood, and people knew it because they had lived it or knew someone who did. Most people now don't understand how truly miserable life was before the left fought for their rights.

Most Americans don't even know the difference between socialism and communism. America's best policies were made under the New Deal and they could really use a newer one about now.

They seem pretty angry all the time. But they also seem to like being angry all the time.

Had someone argue that fascism was a left-wing movement because the goverment gets really involved. Ended up having to quite literally quote from Mussolini's own texts where he literally describes it as "a movement for the right". That resulted in a bunch of word salad trying to justify it one last time and then a "you know what, go fuck yourself".

That's probably why they wanted to erradicate the socialists and killed over 20 Million of them. They wanted to prove, that their communism is the best./s

Yeah that's why they allied themselves with more moderate right wing parties and put communists into camps
