Of course not. the Democrats aren't communists. Actual communism doesn't exist anywhere on the planet, and never really has.
They're fascists. And the convergence of corporate America with federal power is pretty much the definition of fascism. We're witnessing national socialism and governmental/corporate convergence take place right before our eyes. China - which is actually a fascist country, and communist in name only - is the model. To the man on the street, of course, it makes no difference whether you live in a communist totalitarian state or a fascist totalitarian state. Same result for him either way. |

In many ways, yes. Welfare, section 8, Medicaid, food assistance, free money, SSI, etc.

We have an illegitimate "installed" puppet president. Fake elections and essentially state run media & big tech that coordinate propaganda, censorship and de-platforming.
The USA is now a commie wet dream. Most people haven't figured it out yet. |

More accurately, we are in the beginning stages of socialism.
Marxist ideology has socialism as the stage between capitalism and communism. When we get to communism, things will be really bad. That is where the government and people collective own everything. There is no personal property anymore. |

Read the tenants of communism. In the 60's congress held hearings about the 45 goals of communism. Read it and then you decide.

Some of you guys are out of your damn minds.
This? This is a fucking paradise from the Bible in comparison to what a communist hellscape looks and feels like. You have seen nothing yet. There will be no doubt in your mind if and when we get there - but you won't be able to ask anyone for confirmation without a good chance that you will be killed for it. Right now we're more free - still - than my wildest dreams growing up. Man the fuck up. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We are an Oligarchy, with bread and circus to keep the populace happy.  Attached FileExactly. The rich run the show behind the scenes and pay for the political campaigns of their puppets so you are right, we have a Oligarchy, that's what is really going on. Trump was the exception because he was able to pay for his own campaign during the GOP primaries and owed nothing to anybody, and that's one of the main reasons that the bought and paid for "establishment" hated his guts along with the all of the various entities that the Oligarchy also own [the media / entertainment / social media etc.]. |

Maybe I should of called it a "budding communist nation." But when you no longer have trusted and legitimate elections, an installed president and state run media, I'd say we are already communist in key ways. Its only been 72 hours. Lots more commie shit coming and its coming quick.
Picture a fire hose wide open. |

Economic Political Theory 101.
You have two cows. Both licensed by the state. In a Socialist country the state provides sacks of grain bales of hay and takes all the milk. In a National Socialist Country you buy your hay and grain and the state takes all your milk. In a Communist country the state shoots you and takes your cows. In a free market capitalist country you sell one cow and buy a bull. |

No. Bourgeios still exist. No class war yet to purge them. Ditto with backwards non-proletariat peoples (Marx hated Scots, Bretons and the Basque).
