Trust me, most people actually not know how socialism or communism work, i tried to ask to many and everyone (except maybe 2 people) do not know what either of them are
Most people have a vague “the government tells you what to do in every aspect of life” sense of communism, and think socialism is like decaffeinated that.
If you come at it without using the words, and the audience is labor, you can usually get them on board. “If your boss doesn’t even go into the office and makes seven figures off your work, and you make five, how does that feel?”
Of course, some people are so conservative they’re happy to stay in their lower tier of the hierarchy.

Yet they are completely oblivious to the fact that this government is telling everyone else what to and not to do in every aspect of their life…while robbing taxpayers blind
I genuinely believe that most of the people who argue against socialism/communism like this have absolutely no idea what they actually are. Anything that isn’t the status quo is immediately labeled socialism (communism if it’s really different) and that means it’s bad.
If they are fuckwits on THAT level and the rest of you can’t manage to stop or outmaneuver them, that doesn’t really reflect well on “the resistance,” such as it is.
It’s not “ignorance.” They know better. They pretend not to.

It’s like the old “every conservative accusation is a confession” thing.
When they say “the communists want to make you work in a factory for 12 hours a day with no pay”, that’s what they want to do.

You’re a better person than me. I would have refused to have any political conversations with a person like that a long time ago.
By all means, keep giving the worst people on the planet the benefit of the doubt
Que?
I’m not giving them the benefit of the doubt. I’m calling them out as uneducated. They’re victims of American propoganda.
You’re getting the people who make the propaganda confused with the people who are targeted by the propaganda

What the fuck are you talking about?
