They possibly could, but they wouldn't

And eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, sure, but a world full of blind people would no longer fight wars and terrorize each other, animals, and nature.

Empathy is an evolved trait. The unevolved cannot understand it. They need several generations to evolve in order to have the capacity to even start understanding.

Why? It won't be me. It'll be a Liberal president who does it. And I'm going to laugh, so hard the whole time.

Nah, civil war is a loss for everyone. We'll just wait it out and take power back in 4 years.

Not gonna happen. They'll try, but it won't work. They're just massively bloating Federal executive power, and they're going to regret it so badly when a Leftist gets elected.

I'm sure Xi and his party are trying to resign too 😆

And requiring all business to be a co-op does not equal communism for the whole of society. It means socialized labor and earnings, but people still have private property and income variety and democracy. It would also mean goodbye to corporations.

The problem with DOTP is communism never gets past the suppression of the bourgeois phase, because to accomplish it you must centralize power, and during that phase those in power are afraid to ever not be in power again, and thus it becomes totalitarian.

That's communal living, not communism. Communism requires a centralized government to enforce it. Social Capitalism is a mix

If you're against authoritarianism or totalitarianism you're against communism. Communism just centralizes power to a handful of proletariats who over time become the new bourgeoisi, but with total power and control. No bueno.

Yeah, communism has failed in practice everywhere it was attempted and has resulted in totalitarianism. It was a nice idea on paper, but like many things that are nice on paper, they just don't work when applied to real human beings.

If they can't earn money, and they can't find housing, they have to leave. No one is going to risk a 1st Degree felony to employ or house an illegal immigrant.
comment in response to

The right way to do it would be to make it a 1st degree Felony to house or employ an illegal immigrant. Then they couldn't stay and could leave on their own terms, and it wouldn't just apply to Mexican and S. Americans. Then we could abolish the ICE Gestapo.

Rise and Fall of the 2rd Reich is the go-to, but it is a tome

Hitler was some beerhall nobody with a small militia and a knack for rabble rousing. Communists were gaining seats and power, so the right wing elite started funding, backing, and forming the NSDAP to crush them. Hitler went rogue with racism and militarism eventually and died for it.

100%. Hitler was a stooge used by the German elites to squash communism, but he eventually went rogue and they disappeared into history.

You also have to wear those pee pants for a long time. Just so you know. It's not like they change you.

Ah yes, Trumpian fascism. It claims not to be fascism, so it's not seen as fascism by morons, even though it really is fascism without any question whatsoever.

Freedom of the Press was written to enable Journalists to freely report unbiased, nonpartisan, and uncensored fact-related news. It was literally meant to make sure press DIDN'T become propaganda mouthpieces.

I'd love to see vets create an organization that goes and stands between protestors and police during day protests.

Yup. Taxpayers always pay the bill.

Yep, and TikTok is even worse. They throttle anything against Trump, mute anything against Trump, and they don't even tell you you're muted. And they unquestionably share information with the Trump administration.

I feel like every good punk band had one or more songs about kicking Nazi and Fascist ass

MAGA is going to cost taxpayers Billions and Billions and Billions of dollars in lawsuits for wrongful arrests, wrongful deportations, and wrongful injuries. And it will happen long after Trump is gone, and they'll blame Democrats.
comment in response to
post
90% of MAGA are the same type of people who ate paint chips and licked frozen lamp posts in the 60s-80s. They are the reason countries need government, because they are too stupid to understand anything more complex than fixing a doorknob or making a grilled cheese.

Marx was so wrong about so much that I'm not sure anything he said is worth quoting except for his observations on the behavior of capitalism and the rich.

It's also the title of a Frank Zappa song from 1966

The problem is "Freedom of the Press" is interpreted as freedom to print/report anything, rather than what the Founders meant, which was freedom to report facts without being controlled or influenced by government interests. As a result, our press is mostly spin, propaganda, psyops, and lobbying.

If you took select pieces of media from major media and social sites today and showed them to someone in 1985, they'd almost certainly think it came from the National Enquirer.
