It's been 10 years, and I have still yet to hear any two people define "woke" the same.

It’s been 10 years and I have still yet to ear anyone on the far left defining what is a woman without using the very word “woman”.

Meaning: if you think the majority of people will be coerced to normalize this all insanity being pushed by a bunch of mindless Marxists living under the prosperity of capitalism, you will be sorely disappointed.

The USA just elected 2 communists for mayors (they don’t even hide it anymore) but here people are trying to tell us the real issue with present society is fascism.

I’ve seen how that game plays out: and it’s not pretty.

  • > The USA just elected 2 communists for mayors (they don’t even hide it anymore) but here people are trying to tell us the real issue with present society is fascism.

    Italy had elected dozens of communist and socialist leaders, including mayors, in the 1940s. History does indeed blame the fascists for cooperating with the Nazis, not the minority parties.

    If you think the historians framed the wrong guy, that's news to me. Show me some evidence that fascism is a smaller threat to America, I love a good argument.

    • You've misinterpreted my point. But, I'll start by addressing your statement that fascism is so much worse than communism: It's not, all numbers from the 20th century show us that communism is even worse than fascism... and that's a very though target to beat.

      But about my point. My point is not preferring fascism to communism: any kind of collectivism is equally bad and only brings pain and misery to the people.

      My point is that presently, communism is a much bigger threat since you have a lot more communists in positions of power than fascists. Sure, it's fancy to now call fascist to anyone that defends basic common sense measures that were accepted by any Democrat as obvious under Clinton (you know, things like meritocracy, praising hard work, incarcerating violent offenders, keeping borders secure and expecting people to pay for what they earn... all big red fascist flags nowadays), but you don't have single person in any real position of power of public exposure telling you proudly they are fascists.

      But boy, you do have a bunch of them telling you they are "socialists", or "Marxists"... and now, you even have some telling you outright they are communists. Let's get this straight, the amount of propaganda reached such a degree of insanity in the USA, that you now have people, openly admitting they are communists without any repercussions. They are even getting elected for public office.
