Why don’t Republicans have ANY understanding of what the real-world differences are between Socialism and Communism?
MAGA, and I am MAGA, does not traffic in promises; it focuses on results. That’s what “Make” ** “Great” means: merit. Marxists broadly, and socialists specifically, do not know merit. They know DEI (tribalism).
Socialism and Communism PROMISE different results. But, for the purposes of rational analysis, MAGA does not traffic in promises. Always results. Critically, and ultimately, they deliver the same result: societal death. Here’s why: neither can exist without capitalism, which is the wealth producer. Capitalism is the system of problem-solving. Civilization cannot exist without it.
Without it, the result is always the same. It is a guarantee.

Moreover, it’s a historical “promise.” Machiavelli observed it circa 1517. Genesis related the cause through the story of Adam and Eve. I could list a hundred similar examples. This is why the authors of the Bible could predict the future.

It’s my focus. I needed to understand why.
