Yes I was being rhetorical when I said communist handouts ( government bailouts for the rich). The word communism is constantly demonized in the United States while they dismantle the social safety net and strip away the social contract. I know it’s corrupt and a lot of citizens know but we don’t have a political party that isn’t bought and paid for. I understand the second amendment as the final check on power but our government has always illegally targeted any left based militias. Unfortunately the oligarch bootlickers are the people with the majority of the guns and the far right militia groups that the government has always turned a blind eye to. I do hope to see a new FDR before I die but I’m worried it will be tyranny and Russian satellite rule instead. Our propaganda machine is strong and unrelenting. I worry Europe will succumb to this corruption as well.
