Ehem, as the kids say
“Cope and seethe”
It’s funny how they’re trying to paint him as a communist revolutionary or something, and in the process, just making him look even cooler.
Socialism is a buzzword that has been used in the US to attack anything remotely progressive that’s happened in the last century.
When Social Security and the New Deal programs were introduced, they were called socialism
When the voting age was lowered to 18, it was called socialism
When the FMLA was passed, it was called socialism.
It’s literally just a word that Republicans who don’t want to support our communities use instead of just flat out admitting that they’re anti human
Any sources on this? I’d like to share with some relatives.

Let’s not pretend it’s just republicans.
Useful idiots BTFO
If we don’t attempt democratic socialism then capitalism will bring absolute poverty to the economy (we’re already so close, but people aren’t eating leather yet), which will lead to revolt, rebellion, and lots of death. Then a most likely scenario will be Communism, where things will likely look good at first, then quickly fall backwards. Then more revolt, then fractured states. We’re about 50 years away from being the Northern States of America, with all kinds of squabbles, different laws, sketchy trade deals, etc. All this will likely end in the worst scenario: Texas is claimed by Mexico and Texans will all be refugees fleeing to other states.
Dude I think you’ve been drinking a little too much of the kool-aid, none of those scenarios would actually happen even within 50 years. Absolutely no way zero. If you think Mexico would become a more successful State than any part of the United States then you really are smoking some good shit. And the United States devolving to Communism within 50 years that is not even going to happen not even a little not even anyway no way no how.
IKR, it’s gonna happen much sooner. The way things are going right now, it will only take 20-30 years.
Why is a comic strip 12 seconds long?
No one wants to read a 15 second comic strip.
It’s a gif where in the last panel the angry bigot shakes a lot.
Look im not gay but if comes with healthcare im willing to try.
And if they complain some more, tell’m to move to Russia. Putin needs more cis con capi paradises.
See, that’s the thing.
People just don’t seem to realize how important my opinion is. I did, like, research and stuff!
same energy
I feel like they’re jealous inside haha
I just don’t understand why they would care so much about what’s happening in a blue state far away from them. It’s like the very idea of someone else living a peaceful happy life sends them into a rage-fueled, spiteful wrath
That oddly fitting comment below.
man daddy
Hell yea
If those people knew anything about Communism and Islam they’d realize how utterly stupid that combo is…
Tbf if you ever lived in North Iraq you would see how much left-leaning average religious Kurd is.
If we stopped invading the region for oil and all it would stabilize and then progress over time.
These people just interchange socialism and communism like they’re the same thing.
Because they are. The end goal of socialism is a communist society.
The issue is that fools think that’s a bad thing.
The alternative to communism is starvation when no one can a job because of automation.
in communism, socialism is a middle step. but in socialism, socialism is just socialism. it doesn’t have to be communist
And they have absolutely no idea what either mean.
…what? All three Abrahamic religions are extremely explicit and clear about providing food and shelter to the poor and needy. What counterexample did you have in mind?
What they preach is not the same as what they do. None of them. It’s a psychological thing.
There is no equality in those religions. Man and woman wasnt equal and slavery existed in those times…
I think it’s more the fact that communism in it’s real world manifestations is all about control, and they can’t have competing organized religion, unless they pervert into some state converted version.
“communism” IRL is more like vanguardist fascist dictatorships under leftist aesthetics.
I lived in one of these “communist” countries, its actually just a state capitalist hell, practially zero social safety net, zero free busses, zero free childcare, zero free lunch, internal border control, a very “papers please” environment, just more government oppression.
Reason why these failed is bexause of the lack of democracy, the vanguardism has failed it.
Mamdani is not a “communist”, he is a Democratic Socialist, he believes in democracy. We have already seen success with “socialist” policies when they get implemented under a democratic system such as in Norway, for example.
I commend you for having balanced views despite living under “communism”, and being unlike the cuban migrants that see anything slightly left of center and turn into the flashback cupcake dog.
since when was “providing food and shelter to the poor and needy” considered to be exclusively communist?
It certainly isn’t capitalist.
Reagan
Everything wrong with the US is basically just a game of 6 degrees from Ronald Reagan.
Around the time that those in power claiming to be of the faith started calling it communism.
it’s unfortunate that the guy in charge is buddies with the rockets guy. at least he’s still stuck on his spruce moose
“Hop in!”
I think these people turn red usually in less than 12 seconds.
Credit where it’s due though: Karen’s got a pretty sweet flip 'do going on.
Ok I agree with the sentiment but I hate the “observe this meme in which your side is angry and crazy, and mine is portrayed as calm and collected”
It’s pretty accurate when you see how mad useful idiots are that a servant of the ruling class didn’t get elected.
Nothing pisses them off more than their abusers losing a bit of power.
To us, this is just a passing meme
To them, this is debate. They actually get upset over this kind of thing, it makes them feel like they’re losing
In a way, I guess I agree; it’s not the wittiest analysis of the argument. Everyone SHOULD have topics they get angry about. What matters is which ones. Getting angry about feeding children is a sadly truthful analysis of conservatives right now.
Could lead to a funny comic where they compare reasons each was angry about the last NY mayoral election they lost.
But they are objectively angry and crazy. And hate-filled. And Nazis and their enablers.
If they are throwing baby tantrums over everything, they shouldn’t be surprised if they get laughed at, because we’ve tried working with them for long enough, and see what it got us. Better let them see that their shit is making them look unhinged and ridiculous.
You know they’re say the same about you right? Verbatim.
You know that they are completely detached from reality? The world listens too much to the voices of mad men.
I agree entirely
The only thing inaccurate here is that repubs aren’t calling Mamdani a socialist- they’re calling him a communist.
but it’s the truth…
… I need panel 4 on my wall.
Nice work, y’all. You pissed off the cons
Now, let’s get them and Nick Cage in a plane!
