I’m sure you’re just using “communist” rhetorically there, for various USA history reasons that I don’t fully understand.
But it’s important to point out that corruption isn’t the same as “communist handout”.
There was nothing “communal” when the USSR did corruption, and nothing “communal” when the USA does corruption.
It’s all just concentrating power in a few peoples hands with as few limits as possible.
Good luck to you though, if your political forces can’t stop the concentration of power then conflict and likely bloodshed might be the only option. And there’ll be a lot fighting to save the empowered, hoping for some crumbs to trickle down to them. I can’t believe that all the pro-gun rhetoric in the USA - that I’d previoulsy though crazy - begins to make some sense.
Yes I was being rhetorical when I said communist handouts ( government bailouts for the rich). The word communism is constantly demonized in the United States while they dismantle the social safety net and strip away the social contract. I know it’s corrupt and a lot of citizens know but we don’t have a political party that isn’t bought and paid for. I understand the second amendment as the final check on power but our government has always illegally targeted any left based militias. Unfortunately the oligarch bootlickers are the people with the majority of the guns and the far right militia groups that the government has always turned a blind eye to. I do hope to see a new FDR before I die but I’m worried it will be tyranny and Russian satellite rule instead. Our propaganda machine is strong and unrelenting. I worry Europe will succumb to this corruption as well.
