They couldn’t define “communism” then, they can’t define “socialism” now. No change.
Oh shit. I didn’t even realize. We implemented desegregation and we’ve been a communist state ever since! Holy fuck!
Damn, here I thought I was living in a capitalist dystopia. Truly, the race mixers pulled one over on me. Must be the mixed blood in me making me vulnerable to communist brainwashing.
Other than it’s now these fuck’s kids were dealing with and they’ve diversified the focus their hatred a little.
Pretty sure most communist states are pro-segregation as well.
That comment requires some evidence.
OCTOBER 3, 2018 The Cruelty Is the Point
But it’s not the burned, mutilated bodies that stick with me. It’s the faces of the white men in the crowd. There’s the photo of the lynching of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith in Indiana in 1930, in which a white man can be seen grinning at the camera as he tenderly holds the hand of his wife or girlfriend. There’s the undated photo from Duluth, Minnesota, in which grinning white men stand next to the mutilated, half-naked bodies of two men lashed to a post in the street—one of the white men is straining to get into the picture, his smile cutting from ear to ear. There’s the photo of a crowd of white men huddled behind the smoldering corpse of a man burned to death; one of them is wearing a smart suit, a fedora hat, and a bright smile.
Their names have mostly been lost to time. But these grinning men were someone’s brother, son, husband, father. They were human beings, people who took immense pleasure in the utter cruelty of torturing others to death—and were so proud of doing so that they posed for photographs with their handiwork, jostling to ensure they caught the eye of the lens, so that the world would know they’d been there. Their cruelty made them feel good, it made them feel proud, it made them feel happy. And it made them feel closer to one another.

Man, communism really never meant anything other than “shit we don’t like” in America.
My favorite modern example is ‘Marxist corporations’
I’ve yet to see anything top “Seat belts are Communism”. I hope I live long enough to see the circle complete itself with “Capitalism is Communism”.
It just goes to show how empty and dishonest racist rhetoric really is.
And anti-communist rhetoric, for that matter.
Colorize that and it could pass as a trump rally from just yesterday.
Fucking idiots.
Folks like this really are goal oriented. Give them a goal, and a framework that will help them achieve it, and they will pursue it unquestionably. It must have been images like this that inspired Bukowski.
I regularly think about how many of our sweet old grandparents were among these crowds.
How many of our doting loving grandmother’s were hurling racial slurs at the top of their lungs?
How many grandfather’s strung up the rope for the lynch mob?
These things ended less than a full generation ago
“Race mixing is communism”. Lmao How? Stupid has always been strong in
thrthe US.Did they had a lot of blacks in communist USSR in the 60s?
I don’t know about blacks but they had a lot of reds. /s
I might get flack for this but I don’t get the segregation thing because race is more trivial than AGAB. Usually people use AGAB to talk about health concerns. It seems race is a thing because we make it a problem like these people are doing. Except they do it with more hostility.
