"If a time traveler from late #Weimar #Germany materialized in #America today, they would instantly recognize the spiteful rhetoric pouring from #DonaldTrump and his lieutenants — language that echoes what #AdolfHitler and the #Nazis deployed a century ago.
“The radical left is actively trying to destroy our children’s future with the disaster known as (dramatic pause) #communism,” according to #Trump. “This isn’t a #socialdemocrat. These are #communists by another name.”
Facing a possible fiasco in the November midterms, Trump and his allies have reached for one of the oldest scare tactics in the book: trying to persuade #Americans that #communists — perfidiously disguised as progressive #Democrats — are plotting to destroy the country.
“This new fixation on the word #communist is an effort to save himself in the mid-terms by creating an emergency. Basically he’s trying to revive the old #redscare tactics of the 1950s..."

Heh. So, after all the #RedScare crappo coming from #MSM about #DemocraticSocialists , you know I had to go to the official party platform for 2026.
"Replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy. Expand the House of Representatives, implement proportional representation and ranked choice voting in all elections, and abolish the Senate."
I don't have a problem with a more #ParliamentaryGovernment and more parties! Bring it on!!!

Heh. Even #USAToday is talking about the #DSA! Caution - Contains #RedScare Propaganda!
#DemocraticSocialists of America propose radical overhaul of US govt
The Democratic Socialists of America want to fight for working-class Americans by offering #FreeHealthcare and abolishing the U.S. Senate [sic]. What else does their #WorkersDeserveMore platform say?
by Emily R. Condon
Updated Aug. 2, 2026,Excerpt: "Although not all self-described #DemocraticSocialists are in the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA is an increasingly influential player on the left. Members include New York Rep. #AlexandriaOcasioCortez, New York City Mayor #ZohranMamdani and Michigan Rep. #RashidaTlaib, all Democrats. Three Democratic nominees for U.S. House of Representative seats – #DarializaAvilaChevalier and #ClaireValdez in New York and #MelatKiros in Colorado – also belong to the group, as do a growing list of state and local officials.
"A third of #Democrats identify as democratic socialists, according to a July 30 CNN poll, but it's possible that quite a few of those are not familiar with some of the DSA's more unusual suggestions for overhauling the U.S. government. A July 28 Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed that 47% of Americans say they don't understand democratic socialist policies.
"While President Donald Trump and his GOP allies slam democratic socialists as
'#communists,' the Democratic Socialists of America is defining its own brand in the new platform."The 120,000-member organization's policy roadmap has three sections:
- Thriving Working-Class Communities
- Working-Class Foreign Policy
- Working-Class Democracy "Read more [or not. I'll be posting the official DSA platform soon...]:

#DemocraticSocialism Is the Compromise Position
Given our scale of #inequality, the #egalitarian reforms of democratic socialism are only the start of what we should strive for.
Kyle Schmidlin, Jul 31, 2026
Excerpt: "Reforming the #SecondGildedAge
"Whether or not one agrees with such ideas, it’s a discussion that free people are within their rights to have. Though we often treat #capitalism as a national religion, there’s nothing sacred about it. Even the US Constitution is surprisingly agnostic on questions of economic organization. It’s not encoded in our DNA—in fact, we are much more naturally inclined toward cooperation than competition. Humans have a virtually infinite number of ways we can arrange society, and we are in desperate need of rethinking ours.
"Because for the last few decades, the American economy has grown ever more off-balance, to the point where many analysts now say we’re in a second #GildedAge. We recently minted the world’s first trillionaire, while about half of us would be wiped out by any major illness, accident, or job loss. Workers have lost power, essentials like housing and healthcare are increasingly out of reach, and practically all the gains of our productivity have been accumulated at the very top, with #corporations posting record profits. #Billionaires are multiplying their wealth faster than ever, building anti-revolution doomsday bunkers, and plotting to rule their own fiefdoms as #CEOKings.
"We live in a society that’s obsessed with law and order for things like #shoplifting or overstaying a visa, but largely looks the other way on #CorporateCrimes like #pollution, #WageTheft, and #fraud—not to mention #WarCrimes and #genocide. The president is a convicted felon who wants you to ignore his decades-long friendship with a child sex trafficker and instead fear and hate the immigrant next door.
"In such a system, elites should feel relieved that people are only demanding, say, a few public options for groceries, rather than revolting. The wealthy surely all took note of the public reaction to #LuigiMangione, who is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of New York City. Mangione became a cultural icon who was openly celebrated in many circles, making clear the rage simmering within America’s dispossessed.
"There’s a reason the progressive California Rep. #RoKhanna refers to a tax on wealth as an #AntiRevolution tax, or an attempt to save capitalism from itself. Progressive Democrats like Khanna often mediate between capitalist centers of power and the party’s left-wing base, who largely feel fed up with the party’s incremental approach of making small tweaks here and there. Democratic socialism, as practiced in today’s America, is still essentially incrementalism, but they’re much bigger increments.
"Such a model works well in places like #Finland, #Iceland, and #Denmark. These countries have high taxes, but they get far more out of them than we do. As a result they are consistently ranked as the happiest countries on Earth, with excellent numbers for education, homelessness, poverty, healthcare, life expectancy, and infant mortality—all areas in which the US, with its profit-first approach to every problem, is lagging behind.
"#HighTaxes and a mixed economy also once worked well in the #UnitedStates. We dug ourselves out of the #GreatDepression with the #NewDeal. Government programs brought electricity to rural areas and established safety nets and Social Security. Our middle class boomed after World War II, when taxes were the highest they’ve ever been.
"#Republicans and #BigBusiness called that #socialism, too. They even conspired to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Now, faced with another socialist menace, they’re playing just as dirty."

RE: https://universeodon.com/@SrRochardBunson/117016484306805202
In case no one ever told you, capitalism & slavery are inevitably intertwined. We can't fully end one while the other exists.
Another thing that should be more widely known; anti-communist Red Scares have always been cover & justification for fascism

The #USArmy warned us about a #RedScare 3.0 in 1945. For fuck's sake.

@jwcph I probably would've been surpised a few years ago, but not after learning about the #CIA #OperationGladio & related organizations.
Anti-communism has always been a shield for #fascism

"There has never been a socialist government, or a socialist nation, anywhere on earth.
Not the Soviet Union, not socialist Cuba, not China, not Venezuela. What we've had over and over again, is state capitalism with socialist rhetoric."

“Execrable Drivel: The US State Department’s Cuba Report”
by Binoy Kampmark in Savage Minds on Substack
@us_news
@cuba
@pardox121
@beforeileave
@renewedresistance“Given the execrable contents of this untutored report, it is impossible to believe that Cuba is a country increasingly on its knees, its sovereignty and independence more threatened than ever. The ongoing oil blockade, power shortages, lethal disruptions to the health system, sanitation issues and the depleting effects of Hurricane Melissa, have made the survival of the regime shaky. The cloddish semi-literates behind the document, however, want us to forget that Cuba is impoverished. ‘Its material weakness was never the measure of its danger. Its power was always ideological, subversive, and parasitic.’ What power! What potency!”

Thomas Pauken II pled guilty today, was acting as an agent of China. Daddy = Thomas Pauken, a #Reagan #administration #Senate-confirmed Agency Director, later ran the TX Workforce Commission, and TX Chair of the GOP!
>Time for a THIRD Red Scare! Any of these GOP in bed w/ China or Russia, let's humiliate them *legitimately*, as opposed to the first two Red Scares.

Stupid blue MAGAts can't stop posting shit about Russia and China.
These idiots are so indoctrinated that they refuse to see the domestic fascism at home and the depth of rot in their political, educational and economical systems by the oligarchs and the evangelical Christian zionists.
These idiots are preparing their country for the planned conflict with China and Russia.
