ffs how fucking idiotic can you be
I’m pretty sure the U.S. government doesn’t throw people in jail for being Communist/Fascist/not in favor of the gov’t, tho.
That’s Pinochet’s job.

If they did.
There would be a lot of women in jail about now.
Take out women and replace it with Democrats and you’re good to go.

@K▲ISER you’d be dead wrong about communists. Nowadays communism isn’t as much of a boogeyman that it was during the Cold War but communists have been massively repressed in the US
jailing included
of course it’s all masked up with nice and dandy excuses of treason and so on but the fact remains
because Democrats are socialist now? lmao
Are you talking about in terms of a violent ANTIFA member getting arrested at Charlottesville or going up to a police officer and saying “Hi, I’m a Communist” and getting arrested for it?
Check the whole labor movement from the 1930s up until the end of the Cold War lmao
Of course it’s inexcusable NOWADAYS to jail someone or persecute them strictly for political views.
People aren’t fed propaganda on the daily and Socialism has become more acceptable. Because when you let people think freely they come up with their conclusions.
Also, it’s statistically more likely for an American Socialist to be a registered Democrat. So... kinda??
If by Socialism you mean Social Democracy then maybe
Actually no you’re a top
I could.. I could not
It’s really just because Democratic rhetoric is inherently more leftist.
I think it’s pretty laughable to call Democrats leftists
I didn’t say it was completely leftist, just moreso than the other large party, the Republicans.
surely more left leaning than republicans
yeah sure
So therefore it’s more likely for people identifying with Socialist or other left-leaning ideologies to side with the Democrats.
Yes to side with them but not to be in the party
And more likely for them to be in the party as well.
I don’t think the Democrats accept radical leftists
I highly doubt it
Oooooh man, you’d be surprised.
like who?
Look at the American media at the moment.
American media is RADICAL leftist?
what are you talking about dude
what the fuck did I walk in on
majik
oh okay
Anyway,
