Lemme guess: "socialism is when the government does stuff. And the more stuff it does, the more socialist it is. And when the government does a real lotta stuff, that's communism"
Ergo Trump is a communist. Case and point
‘Case in point’ ffs
Case AND point. I said good day!
Good day to you, sir!
I love Victorian passive-aggressions, so I withdraw my original objection.
Well he's a corporate socialist (wanting a system for the benefit for corporations) similar to Xi Jinping (who Trump admires). But fascists call themselves whatever will get them power, so I guess Trump calls himself a Republican and Xi calls himself a Communist. So use what they label themselves or choose your own labels.
Communism is when authoritarians impose socialism for weirdo ideological reasons. Libertarianism is when people want capitalism control every sector of the economy, also for ideological reasons.
Both are stupid.
"Weirdo ideological reasons" such as belief in equality of opportunities, belief in universal free education, healthcare and pensions, belief in worker rights or belief in the right to housing and of employment. Those weird to you?
Belief in at dictatorship of the proletariat and "the state will wither away" and all of the nonsense around how capitalism and imperialism corrupted science, etc.
The biggest famines in history weren't caused by natural disasters, they were caused by weirdo ideology.
