The funny thing is, what Americans call communism is in fact what Europeans call social democracy - i.e. capitalism with a variable amount of social-oriented restraints on it that simply make sense and work for the benefit of everybody, including the rich. And to a large extent, social democracy works fairly well in Europe. And I know that cuz I moved there, and I would never go back to Stupidland.
What most Americans call Communism and Socialism is meaningless because our leadership have been using those terms for ages to just mean “something bad”, and there’s a huge chunk of people who will simply never know any better.
Ask 4 different americans and all four will have different answers, all with negative associations. Unless you meet me, in which case i begin foaming at the mouth.
Turns out a putting decent safety-net at the bottom does more to help society than just praying for trickle-down economics to come into play any day now
There’s no praying involved: trickle-down economics has been tried for half a century and has been thoroughly proven to be a scam by the rich to steal from the poor.
No you are wrong, when I am become a billionaire I won’t be able to exploit the workers if they have a good safety net. Hence I am against it.

You mean talking to you about communism is an epilepsy trigger for you?
More frustration in our current system
I used to say I was libertarian Socialist. Which was just short hand for I liked arguing about what I believed on the internet

Yeah they’re not “trying” it, it’s working just as intended.
