Democrats and Communists

[Pete F.]

So now not only are they Socialists but they are also Communists.
I believe that Republicans are effectively bringing us down the road to Communism and a totalitarian state, where the means of production and politics are controlled by the oligarchy.
Wealth and political power have been concentrated over the past 50 years in fewer people, who reduce the ability of the lower classes to organize and increase the power of corporations to the point where some are close to being monopolies.

IMHO Trump has befriended three dictators/tyrants and given all three passes on behavior everyone in America should see as criminal, yet to Donald it's just the way he would like to roll anyway. He believes Putin when he claims they didn't interfere in the election, he believes the Saudi leader when he says he knew nothing about the brutal killing of one of our citizens and now he believes Kim when he says he knew nothing about the beatings of Otto. Trump is a power hungry bully and he only wishes he had the power those three have to do as they see fit.

Now it appears he is overriding US intelligence officials and getting family members, who are CLEARLY influenced by foreign governments due to family financial ties, sorry I'm more afraid of the loose cannon running the country.

"now he believes Kim when he says he knew nothing about the beatings of Otto"

I was very disappointed to hear Trump say that, it's absurd.

"Trump is a power hungry bully"

Yes he is.


"he only wishes he had the power those three have to do as they see fit"

Come on, he still calls on Jim Acosta at briefings, knowing what Acosta is going to do. Not what a dictator does.

It's more than absurd, it shows how disconnected he is from any sense of empathy for anyone but himself.

in this circumstance, i agree. in other situations, he displays lots of
empathy, but they won’t talk about that where you get your
news. is it the Daily Worker? Or Pravda?


he donated his jet
to help a gravy sick little jewish boy, an interesting act for an anti semite.

All Trump haters believe that. It's ridiculous.


"where the means of production and politics are controlled by the oligarchy"

I believe both sides have leaders who are interested in consolidating disproportionate power and wealth in the hands of a few. I can't imagine any logic that would make anyone think that's a uniquely Republican problem. Liberals want to be in charge of distributing wealth, energy consumption, healthcare, that's not totalitarian?...Long past time to drain the swamp, limit the power of special interests, and institute term limits. Short term limits.

"increase the power of corporations to the point where some are close to being monopolies"

We disagree on many things, but this is exactly correct. Spot on. Neither party has much interest in addressing this.
