bro.. the definition of communism is very specific. Has to do with gov't controlling the free market.. prices etc. and the public ownership of property, and business'.
literally trumps money he put toward farmers to compensate for his tariffs
and the controlling of pricing on medications is closer to communism than rioting.
please clarify what you are trying to say.



Collectivism is central to communism. Not sure how I can help you if you have a learning disability and have some super narrow wooden understanding of what communism is and what that entails. Green new deal, higher taxes, higher regulation are all taking a step towards collectivism.

...

Free market capitalism and absolute communism are two ends of a spectrum. Neither exist in purity. The thing is, those things being implemented are significant steps towards the communism end of the spectrum. Just because some exist to a certain extent in a capitalistic society doesn't mean that they are capitalistic notions.

Being united on a nonstarter plan isn't a way to negotiate a compromise. Republicans were 'united' when McConnell was the grim reaper blocking everything Obama wanted to do, it was obstructionism not dealmaking.
If all the Democrats lined up for a coronavirus relief bill that instituted the Green New Deal, defunded all the police and made estrodial injections mandatory for young boys, it wouldn't be the GOP senate's fault when the bill dies

At the end of the day it takes two to not-tango.


Unfortunately, the GOP caucus is divided on whether or not there should BE a bill. Once the GOP is united with their terms, you can begin negotiations.

The legislature has failed. The executive should continue to usurp authority. Terrible precedent, but you get what you deserve.


Unacceptable. If the legislature fails, it's not the job of the courts or the presidency to bail them out. They must face the music.

please re write the definition for us all, and explain how the public ownership of business' and the government setting prices is happening the US right now.
I don't have a "narrow" view of it. You keep trying to make a narrative out of using the term. Communism

This is the perfect textbook example of a slippery slope fallacy.

These things are collectivist, collectivism leads to communism, communism is bad, therefore we shouldn't do these things.

i remember a time when republicans acted like it was the end of the world when a president ruled through EOs, and these particular ones represent bigger power grabs than anything obama could even have imagined. not that it's surprising, but it never fails to amuse me how little actual principle right wingers have...
