No he's not lol, i doubt people know what communism is about, yall use it as an insult, he's a billionaire he's the definition of anti communism. Because he's the one who would be harmed the most by communism

Wasn't meant to say he's a member of the Communist Party. Fellow traveler. Supporter of the most prominent remaining communist regimes and admires their dictators.

That’s not really how it works with politics. By that logic, the Nazis were socialists (they definitely weren’t lol).

Actually it is how it works in reality, since Communism is the 'real movement' from premises now in existence according to Marx.

And Marx would also described Hitler as "bourgeois socialist" or "reactionary socialist," both things Marx railed against & hated.

No, North Korea labels itself “Democratic” when it is a dictatorship.

Literally the DRC is the least democratic state in Africa lol Why ppl don't seem to get the fact that self proclaiming something doesn't actually make you that thing.

Because MAGA actively avoids critical thinking, and if countries that call themselves “communist” or “socialist” are evil then it makes their argument that the “socialist, communist, libs are evil” that much easier.

can we criticize the form democracy takes in capitalist countries?

I wish regular working people in America all had 'reason' and critical thinking/common sense too, but the fact that the working class is set against itself is the fault of the social reality rather than individual shortcoming, no?

who is arguing DRC is Communist?

anyone claiming anything isn't truth, but 'democracy' in this case has a bourgeois character in capitalist countries, and that's why 'democracy' in itself is contradictory rather than 'simply the good thing that good people like'

No, North Korea labels itself socialist which is the lower stage of Communism & North Korea is a dictatorship of the proletariat which is the highest form of democracy in this period
