Do you know anything about Mao Zedong, Joe Stalin, VI Lenin, Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, Ho Chi Minh, the Castros, Pol Pot and the khmer Rouge, the Bolshevik Revolution? Do you know anything? It’s all about domination, all about control. Literally murdering all political dissidents. Please explain to me why you think this is the answer. Go!

      Abhishek Bhuyan that was one of the worst defenses of communism I’ve ever heard. You didn’t even answer the simple question I asked you bc you can’t lol 🤡 How about you go live in a communist country since you love it so much, I bet you won’t.
      You’re equating two things that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. You just wanna murder people who don’t agree with you politically which is not at all the same as the American Revolution and you know that but won’t admit it. But that’s why you people will never come to power in this country bc you’re all bark and no bite. You’re not going to kill anyone or actually physically do anything. You’re just a punk or what’s known as a useful idiot. So you even want to kill blacks who don’t support communism, based on their political ideology? I thought black lives matter? 🤔 do you see the hypocrisy there? I’m totally against communism but I don’t believe communist should be rounded up and executed for their beliefs, no matter how ridiculous. But I have something called *DECENCY* something you and those of your ilk lack. Retire!

      I agree. By that logic, when Angela Davis praised the "glorious name" of Vladimir Lenin in the Soviet Union while accepting the Lenin Peace Prize and we know that Lenin was responsible for the "Red Scare" in which at least 100,000 people were murdered by the state, what "good" was it that those people knew that lead to their murder? Realize please that in this scenario, Lenin represented "the man." And if you think "the man" comes down hard on people in the USA, we can't hold a candle to people like Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Kim Jong Il etc. Where is America's Stalin? Where is America's Hitler? We haven't had them. They come from authoritarian regimes like Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. Slavery in the US was horrific but it pales in comparison to these regimes.

By propounding into the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries they have been oppressed by the whites, we can mold them to the program of the Communist Party. In America we will aim for subtle victory. While inflaming the negro minority against the Whites, we will endeavor to instill in the Whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the negros. We will aid the negroes to rise in prominence in every walk of life, in the professions and in the world of sports and entertainment. With this prestige, the negro will be able to intermarry with the Whites and begin a process which will deliver America to our cause." - Israel Cohen, General Secretary of The World Zionist Organization, from his book "A Racial Program For The 20th Century" (1912), read into the Congressional Record by Congressman Thomas Abernathy, U.S. House of Representatives (Mississippi, 4th District), on June 7, 1957, Volume 103, pg. 8559, third paragraph (left column).

Communism had to be demonized by the U.S. for various reasons, but Ms. Davis was just saying that some of its ideas were relevant to her given the history of racism, poverty, segregation, Jim Crow laws and ingrained white privilege in the U.S. at the time.

    Around 2017-2018 i was just watching an Netflix movie I think called “13TH” directed by “ Eva DuVernay “ about a week or two prior & the one segment of that movie that capture my soul was when I learned about Ms Davis & what’s She’ve accomplished as an black panther ..I remember working in the Esplanade Gardens in Harlem around 147th & Lenox. I was sitting at my post & I heard this soft familiar voice talking on the phone in the lobby .. now initially you don’t think that’s the person because wouldn’t think that person would be in that section of Harlem, or in that building at that time .. soo I was like “naaaaah can’t be “& kept writing in my book log ... then I said to myself “nah that voice is to familiar” .. I look to my left & it was her MS ANGELA DAVIS .. I had to acknowledge her .. I told that women it was an pleasure to actually meet her shook her hand & all .. i was 30 at that time I’m 32 now but I know some things on our black history .. & to actually meet her out of all the the famous ppl we see in New York .. she was the first person .. I’ve EVER APPROACHED!! On an groupie type level .. I will never forget that day ever .. I wish I had my phone to take an pic, but they don’t allow us to have phones .. this lady represented herself in court facing soooo many years .. walked in that courtroom & as an natural black strong queen & left out the same way .. AFRO & all✊🏿✊🏿 & she’s still as beautiful as she was then!!!.. MS. ANGELA DAVIS .. my name is Tabias barnes .. I still work in Harlem as in security but I will never forget you !!! Your soo iconic to the black community...❤️

    It isn't so much that there isn't anything wrong with Communism, but rather that the struggle against it by the US and other Capitalist countries has always been a monetary struggle and a white supremacist rally. The US for instance, spends endless amounts of Capital to ensure the supremacy of Capitalism abroad which Capitalism by it's very design is tied to the exploitation of what is considered "Lesser" races by the Anglosphere. So if you wonder why the allure of Communism is gaining traction as well as Socialism specially by people of color, it's because these two systems are alternatives to the one that has oppressed them for generations.

      @@unai49999 telling myself what? the truth? Pick up a book once in a while and LEARN it yourselves. Lenin, Mao both were Marxist communists who went through their countries, murdered MILLIONS each to keep the "oppressors must die" mantra going because that's all they had as a reason for their power. So they had to keep finding new oppressors that are still keeping "the proletariat" in such dire straights so then the next sub human targets were picked for genocide. Then after they murdered all the farmers who new how to actually work farms, no one was left who knew how to so millions died of famines following. In order for communism to be installed, the new govt must first come in with military might and remove all vestiges of the previous govt before they can hand over the commerce rights over to the people, right? Only that part never seems to happen because once these dictators got all the power of both the commerce and military then they'd just start eliminating all the anti government working/academic/professional class citizens saying that obviously it's too soon to turn everything over to the people because there's still too many resistance factions that still need dealt with. Sound familiar? At least in capitalism the power of the military and govt are separate from the commerce control. So when you insist on believing your own revisionist historical accounts don't get all bothered by facts and all because that just ruins your high of rage and hatred toward your perceived enemy. It's called DELUSIONAL reality syndrome because living in it keeps you victims instead of admitting your too scared to take responsibility for your own ignorance.

      A communist society as defined by communists is a moneyless classless stateless society in which the workers own the means of production (the machinery used to produce items). Communists ask for a strong well fair state, the idea is to reach equity for individuals. The idea is that since people do not have to work in harsh conditions to survive, and since everyone has a good education, people will be able to peruse what ever jobs they want simply for the joy of doing it. People do not live under a constant threat of a boom bust cycle resorting in an economic Crises since items aren’t produced for profit, but rather the betterment of humanity.

Capitalism is unsustainable and inefficient deliberately for the sake of the owning class. Nobody on earth has to be homeless or starving. This scarcity is deliberately manufactured and is literally killing our ecosystem. We need to have an economic system in which the workers who produce the value in the economy own the means of their own production. Rather than individuals or corporations who have enough sway to buy elections. I want freedom. Positive freedom to achieve one's goals. Material freedom. Real freedom. I cannot be free in a cinder of a world made only for the ultra-wealthy. Oh and also in the US our Neoliberal Capitalism is built off of the backs of black, brown and indigenous people. It harms everyone in different ways. But it's important to recognize one's own unique privilege. I am a white man. Even though I am privileged there is a reason I fight for this beyond ideological. It simply is the only way for our species to survive in both a material sense and a spiritual one. How's that?

There was only Angela Davis in the whole world and she was suffering. We had our ears stuffed with Angela Davis. Little children in school were told to sign petitions in defense of Angela Davis. Little boys and girls, eight and nine years old, were asked to do this. She was set free, as you know. Although she didn’t have too difficult a time in this country’s jails, she came to recuperate in Soviet resorts. Some Soviet dissidents-but more important, a group of Czech dissidents-addressed an appeal to her: `Comrade Davis, you were in prison. You know how unpleasant it is to sit in prison, especially when you consider yourself innocent. You have such great authority now. Could you help our Czech prisoners? Could you stand up for those people in Czechoslovakia who are being persecuted by the state?’ Angela Davis answered: `They deserve what they get. Let them remain in prison.’

They might call themselves communist to make them sound more friendly in the same way that North Korea claims to be the Democratic People's Republic of Korea while not actually being democratic, but that doesn't make them communist. A communist society is in its essence a classless, stateless society in which all of the wealth and means of production are redistributed according to the people's need. Socialism is an umbrella term for many different ideologies that want to turn society into a communist one, but the means in doing this vary wildly. There is for example Marxism-Leninism which advocates for the use of a vanguard party that is controlled by the workers of the state, while Anarcho-communism wants to achieve communism through the abolition of the state, wage labour and private property. East Germany had a dictatorship that was not classless and there was no redistribution either which makes them not communist. It 'Democracy is indispensable to socialism' after all.

    The problem with communism is technology will eventually take over the worker because demand will always increase. However, capitalism seeks to marginalize the worker by placing as little value on his labor as possible in order to maximize profits. Communism leads to stagnation, but Capitalism leads to abandonment and economic disillusionment. Neither system answers the fundamental question of human dignity.

      Innovation is ongoing. Change is inevitable because of demands of the markets. You start with a tiller then you move to a plow then a tractor in each case the worker must adapt or be replace. Communism removes that incentive so markets are loss to other countries that keep innovating

      now in communism people aren't scared of mechanization of the work place. if they're replaced by machines they won't be fired like in capitalism. they will be given shorter working hours and will have more free time to peruse their passions etc

    The Soviets loved that black folk from the US so much that invited the to stay at the illustrious Gulag Archipelago where they could work to their hearts content. Many were denied entrance back to the US. Many were tried as traitors to the Marxist revolution and were given the gift of bullet to the head. Lovett Fort-Whiteman was sentenced to 5 years of hard labor for being critical of Communist authors and for being a "Trotskyist". Leon Trotsky was who Lenin had hand picked to be his successor, but Stalin had his eyes on the position. Trotsky was eventually huted down and killed. Fort-Whiteman was beaten regularly she he wasn't able to meet his work quotas. Kind of like slaves in the US under the Democrats. Fort-Whiteman's teeth were knocked out and he died of "heart failure"
