Yeah, I totally get why she said it, just don’t think it’s a good idea to invite red scare tactics into the 21st century.

Btw your civil reply to my comment truly made my day, hope in humanity slightly raised

I’m happy you do, others might not be so wise

I guess politics is a touchy topic for some.

I don’t know why you are insinuating I’m:

1. Agreeing with the original commenter (OC)
2. Communist

I was just attempting to clear up what OC was getting at, no need to get all worked up over it.

To answer your questions.

1. The USSR never achieved what I understand to be communism
2. I understand it’s uncommon to actually comprehend what political terms mean, heck I struggle quite a bit, but that’s why all who read the definitions must, as politely as possible, spread to others what they learnt. In this case what Harris should have said is a dictator period, at most a capitalist one.

Feel free to point out anything I might have gotten wrong, cheers

I guess what @degen@midwest.social is trying to point at is that worker’s don’t truly control the government and so when the current government seizes the means of production it’s closer to a change of hands between different groups of capitalists than anything envisioned by communists.

I’d also like to say that although the government has “seized” 10% of Intel shares for example it has no control over Intel’s decisions. Those shares only provide dividends.

Hey, when correcting something you’ve said before please strike through the incorrect information to make it clear what is being corrected.
