    You: FUCKING SOCIALIST!

    That’s the result of a disappointingly effective propaganda campaign. An entire generation being told to equate socialism with communism, then using USSR/Russian “communism” as the example of what they should be hating. Entrenching that idea further is being told the complete bullshit falsehood that the successful man is the self-made man, and the self-made man worked hard with no help to get where he is.

    It’s really no surprise that capitalists lack empathy and will dog whistle social welfare as “communism”
