Like, I fucking wish they were. As a California (and especially a Bay Area) resident, we wouldn’t have to deal with the bullshitery of living under sky-high costs as tech billionaires and landleeches have the privilege to simply walk all over us. Like, California is as much a part of the Capitalist American country as Mississippi… in fact maybe even more so with the presence of Silicon Valley and all the companies stationed over there. Along with this, a communist California would not allow themselves to become such a car-centric hellhole that it is. Yet, no matter how much the Californian government will suck up to lobbyists and billionaires, they will still be called communists for doing the absolute bare minimum for women’s and LGBT+ rights and for having restrictive gun laws (which was actually implemented by none other than their messiah, Ronald Reagan out of the fear of the Black Panthers).
Like, I want to live inside their fantasy of a communist California. It would do away with so much of the bullshitery that I have to deal with living here.
Conservatives demonize California to distract their base from problems within their own state.
California has busses therefore it's communist, deal with it.
Conservatism is getting 99% of the things you want and being outraged over the remaining 1%.

California is communist because the uninhabitable areas are owned by the federal government
No more analysis required
California is communist because all the Reagan Democrats stopped voting for Ronald Reagan after 1988.
Califronia is communist because chuds think anything to the left of them is Soviet policy.
