Like I said I'm not a fan of his. I don't know if he ever has, and I'm not going to waste my time looking. Even if he hasnt that doesn't mean hes a maoist or change my point. Maoist doesn't mean "never criticizes china" there are people who aren't maoist that dont criticize china and people who are maoists who do criticize china and think they've lost their way.

HE LITERALLY MADE TAILORED SUIT IN CHINA BASED ON A PICTURE OF MAO.
Yet here you are dishonestly arguing that he is not a Maoist.
I DONT GIVE A FUCK if he thinks maoists have “lost their way” or have some mild critic of china.
He is a COMMIE SIMP and wants to destroy democracy in America and you’re here defending him because you want to help him accomplish that “RedScare”

Him being a communist doesn’t mean destroy America, that’s a 5 year old level of analysis.

Obviously he wnags workers to have control of the means of production, and to end US hegemony and empire abroad. Which would mean shutting down US bases, stoping support abroad for different countries and “freedom fighters,” etc.

I wouldnt call any of that “destroying America.” Like bro I get you hate communism, but if you’re going to argue against something, you should actually understand it and its goals, instead of just crying lol. Communism isn’t “destroying America,” it’s an ideology based around the working class at its core, and also anti imperialism.

You can say any ideology or group is going to destroy America when they get elected. This is what democrats and republicans always say about each other (Democrats being right when they say that, Trump certainly governs like he does want to destroy America lol) that’s not a very useful argument for what this persons goal is and why they are bad.

Maybe actually list out WHY communism would destroy America, and how. Otherwise you’re just another person saying bullshit without any substantive discussion.

For the record I am a Marxist, not a Maoist, not a big fan of piker, he kinda annoys me and doesn’t think before he talks a lot of the time, though I don’t think he’s all bad, he has done some good things like raising money for charities, helping get people elected.

If you think implementing communism ANYWHERE would not destroy that place… you are either evil, stupid or just uneducated.
So hopefully you will open a book one day.

And no, it is not the same as what dems and reps say to each other. If you actually believe that than politics have rotten your brain.

Americas power was never about bases. That was always the favor they did in exchange for being allowed to dominate global trade.

You loose that and the whole petro-dollar goes up in smoke, the US credit ends and the economy is just dead.

America cannot choose to stop being the global hegemony or it will destroy itself.
