A victory for communism would be far more dangerous to the United States than a victory for fascism.

almost all of that was built on government subsidies, socialism

Socialism is when the government does stuff, the more it does the more socialist it is, and when it does a whole Lotta stuff, its COMMUNISM

Tankies are evil because they told me to read a book (and it doesn't conform to my worldview!)

Hexbear, well know for being fascists: keeping their trans users safe.

And? Bying 1 152mm artillery shell at 4000$ doesn't automatically mean it is better than the 1000$ one, it just means you got overcharged.

As all the others have said, its about convenience, being able to check just one place for news is nice.

As for feeds. If you feel like your day is too nice, too happy, try https://reliefweb.int/ it itself is an aggregate of news from many humanitarian organizations, which means the stuff that comes in can be a bit grim and miserable.

Where is that Parenti quote...

If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

It was from Blackshirts and Reds.
