Republicans truly do need to study up on their political theory and get their damned charges against Democrats right. We have been called “Marxists, Communists, Socialists, Fascists and Dictators/monarchies. The one thing we have not been called is the one between socialists and fascists, which is a mix of pure capitalism and pure socialism and a democratic republic. At least, that’s what we stand for.

Marjorie Taylor-Greene argued against holding Mark Meadows in contempt (she might be one with a lot to lose) and while doing so, she called the Democrats “communists.” In communism, the government owns the entire means of production. If we are communists then we are arguing that the government should own Facebook, GM, Toys R’ Us, and 7-11, and we all get a salary from the jobs we do, our salary is paid by the government.

Marjorie Taylor-Greene doesn’t know what the fck she’s talking about. The fact is that both parties have some capitalism in them and some socialism. The GOP tends to give to the rich (Who bailed the banks out in 2008?) along with tax credits to the wealthy such that Zuck, Bezos, et. al. don’t pay taxes. That’s GOP socialism.

Democratic socialism is taxing the rich and giving the poor $250 per child, health care for the poor, and SNAP.

Today, Marjorie Taylor-Greene rose to call the Democrats communists only to be met, literally seconds later, to be reminded of the true communists around the world and which part greats them with open arms. Kim of North Korea, MBS of Saudi Arabia (fascist royalty), Putin’s Russia, the countries that the MAGAs have snuggled up with.

It was art. Marjorie had nothing when Jamie was done:

Greene: *calls Democrats communists*
Raskin: We are not communists as the gentle lady from Georgia suggested, that’s just the friends of the former President who you lionize like the dictator of North Korea and Vladimir Putin..so those are your friends, don’t put them on our side pic.twitter.com/GUftYEkV3b
