This is always a pretty funny viewpoint considering “rich liberal college kids” are liberals - not socialist, communist or anarchist.

Which is why the college democrats are vastly larger than local DSA, PSL, or CPUSA college chapters.

It’s a stupid viewpoint from people who are so far divorced from any meaningful relationship with political actors or activists that they rely on third hand accounts from conservative media. Like you.

Are you a Communist sympathizer?

I was working security when I first met someone in the DSA, was working in a warehouse when I spoke to a girl in the IWW and this was in southern Washington. Those are the kinds of people who largely make up these organizations outside of college towns, people have no irl experience, going off what they see online or on cable news.

The campaign poster would have come out between the two World Wars, during the Great Depression, and squarely during the Jim Crow era.
Black people were catching hell, being squeezed by economic forces, and the generation of Black veterans were challenging and agitating against the system. And questioning their place in the American system after having fought in her war, and returning home to second class treatment.
Adds up that they would examine alternatives to the status quo.

If we're going to honestly speak about systems, and American capitalism, we have to speak about Soviet communism as well.. And imperialism and exploitation committed under that system.

Communism in practice becomes undemocratic because there's still a power structure. Communism is really supposed to be a transitional form of government and the ultimate destination should be anarchy (democratic work places, no state, all decisions arrived on by voting and decisions made by elected councils who fall under the same restrictions as everyone else. They have no monopoly on violence.)

Communism historically just ends up as a dictatorship because the central problem(concentration of power in a few hands) isn't eliminated. Power is an EXTREMELY addictive thing and communism (on paper) promises to decentralize that power but in practice all that happens is the work places are just run by state representatives instead of private owners and you have no legal recourse if the manager wants you to do unsafe labor or wants to fire you without cause. To oppose the state representative is to oppose the state so you just end up swapping one dictatorship for another.

Desire to be the equivalent of the white man in the black community

Had a whole thread on that, not going there

This is a great thread. I’m enjoying listening to both arguments.

Here’s a question though, I rarely see it mentioned fully in plain language.

(American) Capitalism CANNOT work without an underclass. From slaves, to dirt cheap eastern labor and everything in between…there always has to be a loser. A huge part of our foreign policy ensures there’s always a loser. Satan couldn’t have come up with that though right?

As more countries globalize and hold their own nuts, you’ll see the cracks appear even more. The world is running out of people to exploit.

It's an excellent question. Problem is people don't like to answer because then they gotta look in the mirror.

You rah rah America like that, you are cosigning tearing other people down to enrich yourself and/or keep what you already have.

Folks don't normally want to be the villain in the story.

I don't like that someone else needs to suffer to keep this shyt up.

Hell, we still suffer ourselves, just in a different soul crushing way.

Humans will always be the problem and the solution at the same damn time.
Who wants power? The people who will most likely misuse it.

Communism let’s take other peoples shyt and give it to the dictators friends and family

Karl Marx was also a devil worshipper. And this is who you choose to name your company after.
