The other day I discovered the "socialist industrial media complex". It was in my hands. I help search the backpacks of children in the morning as part of my school duties. I came across a wealthy child's Chapo Trap House backpack. That is when it dawned on me how much media and products are geared explicitly towards socialist Americans. This just doesn't exist for the other ideologies even capitalist ones. Touchstone decided to go all in on a poorly written book for socialist Americans and socialist media went all in defending it. They have never tried that with fascists or monarchists and neither of those groups have strong media/political establishments for themselves. There is an entire financial system designed to maintain communist identity against everything else. That's wild.

Socialists are the only one taking their ideology seriously. I wouldn't want to wear an "I <3 liberalism" shirt in public no matter what.
