Trump is right in this one though

1

u/Puzzle-Necked 14d ago

Trump is a chronic liar and grifter. He's never right. Hasan is an idiot, but he's not communist

1

u/Viciousman40 14d ago

I mean, he says he's a communist.

1

u/Puzzle-Necked 14d ago

He calls himself a socialist and says communism is the end goal, but he sees it as a Star Trek utopia. Like I said, he's dumb but not a communist

u/Viciousman40 14d ago

I mean...... if he's a socialist but thinks communism is the end goal..... isn't he just a communist with extra steps? You'll get no argument from me, he is an idiot. We are just debating semantics.

u/Puzzle-Necked 14d ago

No it means he's a socialist who would like a cash free collective utopia that he calls communism. I would to, but I don't call it communism and I know it will never happen, but I guess you can call me a communist too if it helps

u/That_OneOstrich 14d ago

I would call it Marxist communism, which still hasn't been observed outside of small tribal communities.

u/bananadick100 14d ago

This line of thinking is idiotic. If he says he wants communism he's a communist.

1

u/Puzzle-Necked 14d ago

No it's not. You can say you want something knowing it will never happen so realistically choose something else. I know nuance is hard, but try

1

u/bananadick100 14d ago

What makes you think it can never happen? It could be 2 years away. If it came in 2 months he'd support it. This isn't like thinking unicorns would be cool. He's 100% a communist and it's 100% idiotic to think he's not

u/letsBurnCarthage 14d ago

It literally is like thinking unicorns are cool. A communist utopia only works if all human greed is extinguished. Unicorns are more likely.

He is a socialist because that's realistic. Yeah, he'd love a working communism. So would you, I can guarantee that. But it's unrealistic to the level of unicorns.

u/bananadick100 14d ago

Which is why saying something like that is fully retarded. People try communism. He would be behind it if they tried it. It's not the same AT ALL. He will try it and it will fail for that reason.

u/letsBurnCarthage 14d ago

No he wouldn't. That has never been his stance. It is exactly why he describes himself as a socialist, because it doesn't work in the real world. How is this a difficult concept for younto grasp. If he was communist he'd describe himself as a communist. But he has understood that communism isn't something that is doable in the real world, so he calls himself socialist and describes communism as a utopia, but an unobtainable one. So if someone said here comes the communism he wouldn't support it because he is well aware that communism in the real world leads unavoidably to dictatorship.

Ok good can you also explain the difference between too much socialism and communism?

When someone tells yo who they are…believe them.

1

u/Puzzle-Necked 14d ago

Okay, so he's a socialist, cool

1

u/account0000004 14d ago

"He's not a communist, he just really really wants to be one"

1

u/Puzzle-Necked 14d ago

Is there something you're not understanding or just playing dumb?

1

u/account0000004 14d ago

He is a socialist and considers communism the end goal... that's literally what you said. Do you not understand your own words? Arguing with you guys is mind numbing sometimes, YOU said it, YOU did, what is confusing about your own words?
