OUT: Media Propaganda That Democrats Aren't Socialists, Just Liberals
IN: New Media Propaganda That Democrats Aren't Communists, Just Socialists

Given that you lied for 70 years about Democrats' strong affinity for creeping socialism, you don't really have much credibility now that you admit they've been socialists all along but defenitely!!! aren't Slowly Boiling Frogs communists, do you?

Axios:
GOP reboots the Red Scare as young Democrats embrace socialism

"Red scare." LOL, we're just making it up, huh, Axios? Where do we get these crazy ideas from?

Just pure gaslighting.

70 years after the Red Scare and 35 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, President Trump and Republicans are trying to re-introduce a national fear of "godless communists" ahead of the critical midterms.
Why it matters: A wave of resounding victories by Democratic Socialists has the GOP trotting out a message that last worked when most of those candidates weren't even born.
It's too soon to know if the message is working -- but Trump and Republican strategists see an opening with voters old enough to remember Soviet-era nuclear drills and spy dramas.
The big picture: Former Trump aide Steve Bannon has argued for years that former Wisconsin Sen. Joe McCarthy was right about communism's widespread infiltration into the U.S. government.

I have little use for Steve Bannon but he's basically right. Yes, the op goes back that far. "These aren't the communists in the State Department you're looking for."

As the communist's left favorite two-step deceit always goes:

CLAIM 1: There are no communists in the State Department

When Claim 1 falls, go to the back-up:

CLAIM 2: Well yes there are communists in the State Department but it's no big deal!

You see this two-step all the time. "Of course Democrats aren't grooming kids to be transgender"/"Of course Democrats are encouraging children to find their true sexual selves, as they should!!!"

On Sunday, Trump called communism "the Greatest Threat to our Country since World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or 9/11!"

Well yes, especially now that the would-be Pan-Communist Empire has fused with the Pan-Islamist Empire.

Once a fringe view, now right-wing voices seem to be calling for a McCarthyism revival.

In other words: It's so strange that now that Democrats are admitting to being communists, people are once again announcing themselves as communist-opponents!

What they're saying: "It's a common electoral strategy for conservatives to attack liberals, progressives, democratic socialists as communists, and imply therefore that they are much more extreme than they actually are," Kathryn Olmsted, a U.C. Davis distinguished professor of history, tells Axios.
But, she adds, "we're definitely reaching a new fever pitch."

Keep in mind the media has denied for 70 years that Democrats were socialists.

Now that the Democrat Socialists have taken over the Democrat Party, they say of course they're socialists, but that's a good thing!

Reality check: Democratic socialism is not communism. New York's Zohran Mamdani and Washington, D.C., mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George both call for expanded government programs, Axios' Josephine Walker writes.
"Any attempt to smear us as 'extremists' falls flat when so many Americans are struggling with the rising cost of housing, homelessness, unaffordable healthcare, and underfunded schools," a DSA spokesperson told Axios in a statement.
Still, Democrats are grappling with what it means for progressives and young Americans embracing labels that once stoked fears of communism.
Between the lines: Red-baiting "has much less resonance for a younger generation, which did not grow up living under the shadow of the Soviet Union," says Ethan Porter, co-director of GW's Institute for Data, Democracy and Politics.
"For many young voters, communism is just not an effective boogeyman."

We know, because they've embraced communism.

What they want is corporations, beholding to the Democrats, to run all those things. The non-threatening word for that form of government is Corporatism. The less nice word is Fascism. That's what the Dems really are.

38 I’m encouraged by this. The media seem worried about these new GOP attacks on out and proud, whip-out-their-red-dicks socialists and commies. That’s why they are trying so hard to downplay the red scare.

I have said here several times that this isn’t a takeover. It’s a rebranding of a Democrap party that’s been secretly socialist for over 50 years. But I’m encouraged that the leftwing media seems scared enough of that rebranding to try to explain it away.

Media wants socialism, for sure, but they’re acting like the country as a whole ain’t ready for it. Like when youre on a date and you pull out your dick too early and you get heismanned. But if you waited a little longer, and romanced the chick a little more, you woulda got lucky.

46 "70 years after the Red Scare..."

That was the Second Red Scare.
The First Red Scare was in the early 1900s when Anarachists, and their Communist brethren, were rioting, bombing, assassinating, and creating havoc on a regular basis, which in part lead to the creation of the FBI.

So technically we're now in the Third Red Scare, and what we've come to realize is that it's the Reds doing all the scaring.

50 Losers are socialists/commies. They don't have toys to throw out of their prams.

They want what hard working people have and have public tantrums with posters created and printed by a capitalist. Then take their body odors, tattoos and pierced noses and blue hair to protest people who worked for a living to reap some rewards before death.

The dead nephew-in-law was like this as well as an atheist. The dinner at my MIL's where we met him he was whining about the above, said he thought the protest against Wall Street was the greatest thing ever and nothing similar (the SIL I love snickered, um summer of '69). Then started whining that people with college degrees should not be managers over him (his dream job of a manager of a call station of Grub Hub came later, his only job we are aware of in shitcago).

My husband, who was sort of high on cough medicine from getting sick on the plane earlier, politely informed him he'd worked hard for everything we have. He's a calm and diplomatic guy who normally would have ignored the eejit spewing at his left.

64 Paradoxically, communist infiltration in the US government has progressed a lot after the fall of the Soviet Union, because it is less easy to make the argument that communists are traitors to their country, spies for a foreign power, etc..
There's still China, but Chinese espionage is widely accepted nowadays. Nobody cares. You are racist if you accuse someone of being a Chinese spy.
Besides, not all US communists are obviously tied to China; however, if there ever is a glasnost in China and their archives open, who knows what we will find. Maybe they finance the majority of US protest movements in some indirect manner. Unlike during the Soviet Union, people don't talk about it, though.

72 Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole:

Communism: a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.

79 Someone posted about the "Ride of Killgore Trout", so I had to look it up, being unfamiliar. I thought it was a clothing store. It is a clothing store, a Jewish news website confirmed, it has recently expanded in Eton Square. On this website, I saw a sad headline that a 3 year old in was killed by a car in an outdoor barbeque restaurant in Beachwood. Turns out that the driver of the car is Kenneth McFadden's daughter (Mr McFadden tried to say he was driver, no dice per surveillance video). McFadden is the somewhat famous "Mouse McFadden", a Cleveland State basketball player who helped lead a Sweet Sixteen run in '86. The article didn't provide the name of the poor deceased child, so I looked it up. Very sad obituary, this tragedy happened on Father's day. Parents of the child were Jonathan and Simon. Wait, what? There is a fundraising page so they can be pay a surrogate for another child (surrogacy idea apparently in the works prior to tragedy per the page, not sure if the poor child's death was catalyst to get fundraiser started). Anyway, I'm back from this strange trip down the rabbit hole and will now pour myself a drink.

Because mass murder is the whole point of being a socialist. Socialists are just commie cocksuckers who haven't graduated to the commie fantasy of shooting kneeling Kulaks in the back of the neck.

And yes, that includes your nice hippie neighbor who wouldn't hurt a fly.

They. Want. You. Dead.

Just ask them. They have no problem with telling you that they want right-wingers and moderates to die. They'll proudly admit it. Our failing is that we poo-poo their bloody fantasies as just hyperbole, rather than taking them seriously.

91 This ties into the birthright citizenship in a way. The biggest abuser of that protocol are the Chinese. It really is a State Security issue. If the Trump administration was serious (which I think they are), they would research every single corporate espionage case that involves "Chinese Americans" given citizenship through the birthright process...as well as outright espionage cases. They would, also, research politicians on the same premis, like that Mayor out in California that was reporting to the CCP. I think her name was Wong, or Wang. I forget. She and her chief of staff were communicating regularly with the CCP, and her municipal policies reflected that.

So, as Socialism creeps to Communism instead of Nixon's shortsighted belief that Communism would creep to Democracy on Mainland China...we should be treating the whole deal as a National Security issue.

101 The shining star of socialism is the NHS in the UK.

Where you wait months or years for a MRI and/or cancer surgery.

Yeah, I want that.

Due to our wicked capitalistic society we have more MRI's in one state in the USA than all of Canada, who has 420. Which is part of the delay but not all of it.

I got a sinus infection or plague on the plane to Scotland once. After climbing the cobblestone Royal Mile, dragging my suitcase after the train, the hotel let the almost dead woman and family check in early (pre-covid).

I was told NOT to go to the ED (I guess you have to bleed for that). Given a private MD I saw the next day and paid out of pocket ($600) for a complete workup and later a z-pack (which you rarely see now). I discovered at the pharmacy you can buy low dose codeine legally (or could), which was nice for me as I hate head pain plus snot. I lay dying for most of one day and recovered.

The next day we went to Stirling. I was staggering along Spittal Street and took a photo of the sign because I was doing a lot of that. Son was irritated with his slow walking corpse mom until HE got walking pneumonia on the plane back to FL.

This was my only experience with the NHS.

Anyway, China will groom the US citizen from childhood and that individual returns to the US in their 20's to secure positions in those industries the China requires information.

They are also required to act like Senator Joe McCarthy controlled the House Un-American Activities Committee which predated him by at least a decade, and was mostly run by Democrats, except for 2 years of its existence.

And the HUAC-associated "black list" was really bad despite writers and directors getting work through cut-outs, and was main a reaction to commies in Hollywood trying to prevent patriots from getting jobs in the industry.

You must mix up ALL THOSE THINGS!!

Otherwise, something looks bad for Democrats.

158 The media and their leftist masters will be completely sucsessful in this new iteration of republicans siezing. The following is an outline of their basic attack:

The Premise
Left: Republicans are saying that water is wet, therefore they are bad people and you must now vote for us and do everything we say.

The Evidence
Left: See! See! Here's proof that Republicans have said water is wet, they are still saying that water is wet, therefore you must now vote for us and do everything we say.

173 What the average Ameican thinks is "communism" is actually socialism.

Gulags? That's socialism.

Public execution of dissidents? That's socialism.

Forced abortions? That's socialism.

Bread lines, shortages, starvation? That's socialism.

What, then, is "commnism"?

Communism is living day-to-day wearing burlap togas on a collective farm with a bunch of glassy0eyed hippies, where there is n money, n familyunit, no personal possessions, no cvilization, no individuality, the words "I" and "me" banished from the language. That's communism.

Socialism is the stage we must g through to get to communism. Socialism is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Khmer Rouge, Zimbabwe's forced confiscation of all personal possessions, North Korea, Fidel Castro, mass graves and concentration camps. That's socialism.

216 Both Ethel and Julius were sentenced to the death penalty, in part to put pressure on them to confess - and name names.

The thinking by the Judge was that Julius would never allow his wife to be executed, if either had cooperated they could have had their death sentence commuted.

They had kids, none of their friends or family would take them during the incarceration trial period, so they were shuffled off to “social services”.

Maybe they were bluffing, but da Judge called their bluff, and off to ole Sparky they went at Sing Sing.

Judge Kaufman pointed out the damage they did was incalculable. The Korean War was attributed to the fact of atomic espionage on their part, among other things.

I can understand why communism in the 1920s or 1930s gained traction, but there is really no excuse after that. They tied themselves into pretzels after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.
