@teledyn@mstdn.ca"The essence of the so-called capitalist world or the communist world, is not an evil volition to subject their people by the power of indoctrination or the power of finance; but simply the natural ambition of any organization to plan all its actions."

@grumpybozo@toad.socialAfter all, they called Joe Biden, the former Senator from CapitalOne and a devout Catholic, a socialist and communist.
One of the differences between the Right and Left in the USA is that the Right is dedicated to the idea of political tribal solidarity and social binaries, while the Left puts an overriding emphasis on its own diversity, that of the Right, and that of society.
It is part of how they manage to maintain themselves in power.

@servelan@newsie.socialJoe Walsh: "Trump’s tactics are in fact communist. Many Republican elected officials do see this but turn the other way. Because the base of the party embraces these communist tactics. Again, so much of this can be attributed to the fact that the right had always had a thing for authoritarianism."
@tml@urbanists.socialI wonder how it shows up in practice that the mayor of Graz is from the communist party since 2021? (Which got most votes in the municipal elections.) The coalition leading the city consists of KPÖ (communists), Greens, and SPÖ (Labour).
@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeDoes anybody else see "VC" in an article and have their brain replace it with "Viet Cong"?
It's so much funnier imagining someone making a funding pitch to a bunch of communist guerrillas in the jungle rather than some stodgy bay area tech bros.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsClaiming that capitalism is good because the "communist" Polish People's Republic was "worse" is like claiming that Christianity is good because pre-Christian Poland was "worse".

@chrislowles@mastodon.socialJust got back home from the show tonight, brought up the Zohran primary win with my friend and his dad just blurted out the Trump socialist communist (because those can be a thing at the same time) claim line like a sleeper agent, mentioned some "anti-white tax" that doesn't exist and honestly the situation just had the same effect of someone randomly bringing up that they have 30 days to live. Maaaan, this might be the end of my social life lmao

"If Mr Lam fails, Vietnam will muddle on as a low-value-added production centre. But if he succeeds, a second doi moi would propel 100m Vietnamese into the developed world, creating another Asian growth engine."
@detondev@social.linux.pizzaheyyyy babe, as a member of the Nucleo Operativo Centrale di Sicurezza, ill always be there for u with my daily karate practice, scuba diving sessions, and appetite for anti-communist political blowback. ill be waiting on u with my- hey! why're u giggling!? the fuck u mean the "dick slot in that looks goofy" it's tactical! ugh i hate women, gotta go back to vaguely smiling and nodding at my normie friend's Aldo Moro theories
@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaI finally got rid of the old bed I’d kept since moving in, so the room feels pretty empty right now.
I’m in the process of reorganizing everything and plan to turn this space into my own anarchist sanctuary.
Soon, I’ll add a bookshelf and more anarchist art to the wall, right next to the communist hammer and sickle symbol.

@servelan@newsie.socialStephen Miller: 'the regime must use communist tactics — enforcing correct words and correct thinking and correct values — in order to fight, wait for it, “communist ideology.”'
@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaWhen the family calls me a tankie, I just drop Rudolf Rocker’s black-and-red flag and remind them: Rocker spent his life critiquing both state capitalism and authoritarian socialism, he literally wrote book's on why real liberation means smashing all forms of state power, not trading one boss for another.
