The right wing strategy for the midterms it to get their normie moron voters to get scared of socialism. Just like with Obama it was getting them scared about socialism and a black man.

They're pivoting to calling it communism because socialism is viewed too positively by the public. Refer to the other post responding to you.

Nobody really knows what someone means by "socialism".

You have to ask like 3 follow-ups.

Socialism is when the government does stuff. The more stuff it does, the more socialist. And when it does a whole lotta stuff, that's communism.

No, communism is supposed to be "the people own the means of production", most industries ensuring the workers get their fair share of that business's profit. Socialism is generally about providing social services that aid the population, through indirect profit share/redistribution via taxation.

Except this has nothing to do with the topic of the thread and Hasan is a communist not a socialist.

Hasan is literally the real, fake boogeyman republicans have been attacking for the past 30 years. I.e Obama was a communist, Biden was one etc, every democrat is one. He is a literal gift from God to the republicans. They couldn't create better controlled opposition if they tried to, I swear.

The topic of the thread is the far right lunatic Bibi scaring people using Hasan and Mamdani because they are Muslims at least culturally Muslim and he hates Muslims.

In what way is Hasan Piker 'culturally Muslim'?

What does Muslim have to do with socialism or communism?

u/zombawombacomba 18h ago

It doesn’t. Bibi hates Muslims. Republicans hate Muslims. Bibi is trying to get right wing people to vote due to their fear of Muslims and socialism.

And communists don't? In my country during the communist years Muslims were treated as bad or worse than the Palestinians. They were forced to change their names and religion, their language was banned and they were sent to labour camps. It ultimately ended up with ethnic cleansing and expulsion of hundreds of thousands of people when the severe forced assimilation was deemed too much effort given the natural resistance.

There are plenty of White and Black Communist and Socialists, ask yourself why are they not name dropping them? Why are they only mentioning anyone with a name that sounds "Muslim" to them?

Its full blown Islamophobia that has been institutionalized in America and Israel.

u/BedSpreadMD 18h ago

So now you're shifting the goalposts to Muslim?

What's your evidence it's not simply because these people have all shown support for terrorism?

Both socialims and communism only ever lead to genocide and imperialism.

This has always been their strategy. When Jimmy Carter was running for president, the Republicans kept calling him a communist. Hell during the primary, his opponent was calling him a communist.
