Might be news to you, but the US’s “definition” of communism is about as relevent as the US’s definition of “leftism”…
So, yes, the definition of what “communism”… It’s best to go to the source of the word, and what the talked about it meaning, rather than Joe McCarthy.
Not universal, and something like 36% believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.
But all of them voted to ban abortion, so they can sod off with “Well, it’s not what I believe”…
Something like 15% believe immigration should increase, and 37% believe it should stay the same. Believing immigration should decrease is a minority opinion among Republicans.
And yet, they voted to eliminate all non-white immigration. So, again, they can sod off.
Not sure what you mean by that, Democrats also want to control health care, that’s why the ACA exists (they want everyone enrolled in health insurance, which gives the government more control over health care).
The ACA regulated health insurance, not health care. Reich Wingers want health care choices controlled, while de-regulating corporations.
If you can be more precise, I can look up some statistics.
Look up the percentage that voted for Trump, and that’s your percentage of people who are Reich Wingers and want to have the state tell humans what health care they can get like:
About 41% of Republicans believe religious Republicans have too much control over the GOP, and about 27% of Republicans are unaffiliated with any particular religion, 13% are atheist, and 34% say “nothing in particular” (I guess that means areligious).
What percentage of them voted for Trump?
Because that percentage voted for a Christofascist system of government.
Trumpism is isolationist, which is the opposite of wanting to interfere w/ other countries. There are a lot of anti-Trump Republicans (in 2019, though they’re probably not going to be as vocal this term.
Trump is an isolationist. Unless it’s:
So if you’re looking for anti-interference Republicans, look no further than Trump. There are also plenty of anti-interventionist Republicans in the anti-Trump crowd as well.
Sure… “Anti-interference”, unless it’s a friend of his like Putin, or Assad, etc etc.
So yeah, there’s a bunch of stats for you. I’m also guessing we’ll see those numbers go up quite a bit after Trump’s term is up, because a lot of those answers are likely colored by recent rhetoric.
Those stats are meaningless. The only stat that matters is who they voted for.
I could list specific politicians if that’s what you’re looking for, but I find that much less interesting than statistics.
Sure, find me a Reich Winger who isn’t what I described. I’m sure they will be a lot like “Trump is really anti-interference!”
Its literally the communism described by Marx, which, is, by nature, THE Definition of what communism is: https://web.archive.org/web/20090605001014/http://www.economictheories.org/2009/05/full-communism-ultimate-goal.html
That’s literally the definition of communism.
That is literally what makes up right wing ideology… Prove me wrong. Because, yes, every Reich Winger thinks that some level of control over others is a requirement of society.
Control of women’s bodies.
Control of immigrants.
Control of health care.
Control of religious views.
Control of other countries.
Show me a Reich Winger who doesn’t believe that someone needs to control others, and I’ll walk that back.
Of course, discussing political ideology is “partisan”… Its exactly what we’re talking about.
And no, they’re not just talking points, it’s literally how we describe the various systems of political ideology… Reich Wingers look to construct a society around control and subservience. And, like I said, the question of “who” to obey, and how strictly people are to be controlled are what differentiates the various Reich Wing ideologies.
Reich Wing ideology, the entire thing, relies on subservience and deference to authority. The difference in the various flavors of it are just how much and who.
Nothing in there contradicts what I said here… There’s not fascist about preventing fascism from taking root. You’re making the same mistake made in “On Authority”, and calling revolutions where the people cast off their chains of oppression as “Authoritarian”…
Fascism has a very clear definition. And who decides the malcontents? That’s also easy: Are you trying to harm people? Then you are a malcontent.
You are attempting to obfuscate the discussion here. We all know what fascism is. We also all know its wrong to hurt people.
Communism requires no state, no class, and no money. So, yes, all communist theory calls for the abolishment of the state.
Lenin started the authoritarianism of the USSR by 1923
Lenin started earlier than that… It started almost right after the Black Army aided the Red Army to defeat the White Army… The Red Army turned around, and murdered workers in the Black Army, because “They didn’t do socialism, and went right to implementing full communism”…
Chiapas doesn’t seem to be failing. Going on 30 years now. Rojava isn’t failing either, due to it’s system, but rather being attacked on the regular by imperialist nations like Russia and the US.
Because thats the end result of embiggening the state: The state gets bigger, and the oligarchs just changes faces.
It was something Marx remarked on later, post Paris Commune.
Group efforts to root out fascism or other malcontents is hardly “Orwellian”…
Being a Reich Winger is incompatible with rational or thoughtful discussion.
Reich wing ideology boils down to subservience and deference to authority, not knowledge.
Dunno about liberals, but I don’t like hanging out at nazi bars.
So, it mostly doesn’t mirror US demographics then, as the US, as a whole, skews away from the GOP.
Yes, I get it, “but the ballots”… ballot cast are not a 1:1 for the party lean of the US as a whole.
You can fight the elephant trails, or accept them being there. Your choice.
We do.
It’s mailto or mime for the scheme. There’s even mbox as a scheme.
