            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.

          Because they are. The end goal of socialism is a communist society.

        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.

    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

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal#Criticism

        In 1934, Roosevelt defended himself against those critics in a “fireside chat”:

        [Some] will try to give you new and strange names for what we are doing. Sometimes they will call it ‘Fascism’, sometimes ‘Communism’, sometimes ‘Regimentation’, sometimes ‘Socialism’. But, in so doing, they are trying to make very complex and theoretical something that is really very simple and very practical… Plausible self-seekers and theoretical die-hards will tell you of the loss of individual liberty. Answer this question out of the facts of your own life. Have you lost any of your rights or liberty or constitutional freedom of action and choice?[279]

        At the same time, there was an actual (failed) attempt at a fascist coup on Roosevelt’s watch:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot

        The Business Plot, also called the Wall Street Putsch[1] and the White House Putsch, was a political conspiracy in 1933 in the United States to overthrow the government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and install Smedley Butler as dictator.

        So, yeah. Fascists hate this stuff and will do anything to fight it, from name-calling to revolution.
