      Yeah, I’m thinking “isn’t East Germany the non-Nazi part?” Americans are terrified of not being fascists.

    honecker-interesting Stop trying to make the Dems sound cool.

    Love that conservatives still live in the COVID mind palace where during the pandemic the goverment ruled with an iron fist with the Corona-Stasi locking up free thinkers. Instead of the reality of it being a daisy chain of half-assed decisions that just got dropped anyway for the sake of stonks-up.

      Fun facts: If a person were working age when Erich Honecker was General Secretary, there’s a greater than 50% chance that they are already dead. Most Millennials were born after the Berlin Wall was demolished.

    Look everyone, a communist. Get a load of this commie, he’s a regular Earl Browder. Got the stink of Mátyás Rákosi all over him. He’s a loony leftie just like Mengistu Haile Mariam, former chairman of the Worker’s Party of Ethiopia.

    projection

    Utah passed an anti-trans bathroom law and set up a tip line for reporting alleged violators. So did Missouri and Indiana, as well as Virginia with a CRT hotline. They’re just accusing their opponents of doing exactly the shit they’ve already done.

        Kristen Ghodsee’s book actually references case studies from multiple former Eastern European socialist states, including the GDR. There’s a German documentary called “Do Communists Have Better Sex?” that focuses solely on the difference between West and East Germany.

    This is a tired old strategy that’s going to get less convincing as Cold War boomers die off. The Republicans rely too much on the shrinking Evangelicals.

      I genuinely think the shift in public consciousness towards socialism in the last 10-15 years starts with Republicans calling anything better than murdering all non-white people on earth “socialism”
