    Meanwhile I have to hear literally everyone around me call her a communist. And they think she's a communist because of shit like this, because communism is when the government inside trades fucking stocks.

      they literally think that communism is when everyone is poor and the people at the top have everything

      that's what they think it means, it's astonishing

        That's literally what many of us grew up being taught, like straight being told that was simple fact when we were little kids. So yeah, astonishing... I guess. To me it's enraging, but not shocking. Propaganda works, and as has been said many times around here, the US is the most propagandized population in the world.

        Most Americans believe communism means when things are bad or evil and nothing really further than that

          Communism is when

          (1) you are watched all the time

          (2) police officers are militarized

          (3) the prisons are packed

          (4) you are bombarded with propaganda

          (5) the food is bad for you and the production process is disgusting

          (6) everyone is dehumanized by mandatory labor and social alienation

          (7) the government does not care about you and lets wave after wave of disease rock the population

          Edit: forgot one

          (8) all popular political participation is mere theatrics to distract the citizens from the obvious fact that all power lies with the elites
