This really is just /pol/ without dates.

It’s a side effect of the USSR winning World War II, it made communism practically immune to criticism and allowed most commie dictators to get away with their crimes with zero backlash from the international community. If you ask me, society should treat commies the way they treat fascists.

>society should treat commies the way they treat fascists.
Wouldn't this benefit them? They *want* to feel like they're oppressed and fighting the man, not being mainlined and backed by mainstream forces. It's the reason why "banned books" movements don't make any sense, because the things they say are banned obviously aren't, and the actual banned things are nationalistic.

>>17863991
There's no such thing as fascism it's just imperialism. And last I checked nobody likes imperialists

>>17864012
When you say imperialists...?

>>17863985 (OP)
You're allowed to want to destroy the current system in the USA. That's your right. You just have to do it with democratic approval.

If a communist popularizes communism and openly says "if I win we will dismantle the US government and foster a world revolution" and wins the elections that is the most American thing possible.

>>17864016
Fascism was just a cover for imperialism. It was a rekindling of scientific racism which helped cope with the race to Africa

>>17864023
You're implying that the culture of America is organically democratic, when the whole thing was designed to feign democracy. Voting is a way of shutting people up by making them feel like they had a say. It's output without input. The whole thing was designed as an oligarchy from the very beginning.

>>17864028
If you're saying imperialism as a general concept- then we could just as quickly say that the USSR and China adopted communism as a means of continuing imperial dreams.

>>17864033
That's exactly what they did but they were a revolutionary group and thus left wing. Revolution is no joke. The German revolution was a joke and definitely a coup by the socialists with the help of the jews

>>17864040
Then isn't everything just imperialism? Liberalism right now is the most imperialistic ideology of all time by that reckoning.

>>17863989
Yes

>>17864047
Yeah in a way everything is imperialism and financial globohomo is just the newest way they figured out how to world power over people

>>17863991
Communism is widely criticized, especially in academia, and communist historicism is basically under attack everywhere. For one example, most scholarship on the French revolution now follows the revisionist interpretation and downplays the class warfare angle which was historically popular.
>society should treat commies the way they treat fascists
They're not really analogous. Communism left a much longer and more varied intellectual tradition in its wake which makes it harder to erase. Fascism lasted, basically, a generation, before it and most of its true believers were extinguished.
It's also worth noting that Western Communists themselves were useful assets against Soviet Communism during the Cold War. A lot of their writing from this time touched on how much of a disaster the USSR was and why Western leftists should avoid making those same mistakes.

Giving them a government job and making them the heads of state in West Germany?

france and italy were essentially CIA'd after WWII so that they wouldn't collapse into feudal communism shitholes with warring factions of mountain brigands

Congratulations! You've just turned anti-communism into a joke and allowed the KGB to nest themselves so deeply into American institutions that pinkos are still repeating their propaganda 30 years after the Soviet Union falls.

>>17863985 (OP)
Yes, you chud!!!!

Not really because he was actually right.

>and allowed the KGB to nest themselves so deeply into American institutions that pinkos are still repeating their propaganda 30 years after the Soviet Union falls.
They would be doing that anyway.

The same wokists would be calling you racist etc., no matter what you do. No matter what anyone does, they will always say their lies. What don't you understand about that? They are so tiresome, they are not even worth acknowledging. Refuse to acknowledge or accept "them", and you'll be in a better place. Their words no longer have any effect, demoralizing or otherwise. Whatever you're doing here falls short of that.

Wdym?

They literally call themselves revolutionaries lol they're not ashamed of it or anything

Maybe it's an american thing where you don't want to offend your oppressors

>>17863985 (OP)
People have gone to lengths to even defame McCarthy as a plausible homosexual too. Not sure where I heard that one but it caused me to raise my eyebrows a bit

Then it would go against everything America is supposed to stand for, or at least used to

Why did McCarthy rape young boys with Roy Cohn?
