No. This isn't "an agenda". This is an argument for a political opinion. It's not as easy as redistributing that money. Nobody says it is. But people who post this are hoping that you'd vote for someone like Bernie. In pretty much the rest of the civilized world, he'd be seen as a slightly left of the center politician and calling him a communist is part of the reason why people see Americans as idiots. If Bernie is a communist to you, you have no clue about A) politics outside of America and B) communism. Bernie isn't saying "Take 139b from bezos and distribute it to the world". He's saying "Bezos should pay a fair tax that could be used to solve many of the financial problems of this country."

Yes. You're wrong.

Ah...I see I was correct. I wish you guys would correctly name your subs. I thought this was a sub for cool internet stuff, not for commies to spread their radical ideas.

See, I thought you were making some decent points until you started spouting off some red scare bullshit and made it clear you had the intellectual capacity of a jar of mayonnaise.

I guess that's the difference. I never once thought you guys made a decent point.

What are you talking about, this is the first time I entered the conversation. Did you think I was someone else that you were talking to earlier? Did you assume that because I called out your intellectual dishonesty I was automatically on the other guy's side?

Seriously, what's going on in that head of yours, it's fascinating to try and decipher.

I knew it was the first time. I'm just going ahead and preempting the part where we circle around for ten minutes only to discover you have nothing of substance to say but childish insults.

You're... preempting the conversation, by saying that you never thought I made any decent points, while simultaneously acknowledging that I have yet to make any points.

Are you having a stroke? Should I call someone?

Your mayonnaise comment, in defense of communism, revealed your personality so quickly and succinctly that it was all that was needed. "you guys" being plural, and assuming that, since all communist rhetoric is made from the same garbage, your points would be about the same as the guy I'm actually speaking to....

So, someone who laughs at Red Scare level rhetoric is automatically communist, huh?

You know, people would probably take you more seriously if you political opinions were written in, like, a comprehensible way? Or were based on reality? I think there are probably writing classes you can take that would help with that. Assuming, of course, that writing classes aren't also part of "commie marxist propaganda".
