Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

*State Capitalist Dictatorships
Theres nothing "communist" about those so-called "communist" countries that still have rich people and huge wealth gaps, and gender inequality. Fun fact: most people in power in "communist" China, are men. In fact, all 24 Members of the Chinese Politiburo are men, zero women. Doesn't sound very communist to me.
Every country is just capitalism under a different banner.
You're confusing economic systems with social policy...
Which is ironic considering that's what you're upset about others doing in the rest of your comment.
Yes, but the economic policy too, they don't even have universal healthcare.
Healthcare is a social issue...
But it's incredibly depressing that people believe it's economic policy now.
Allowing for profit healthcare is very much economic policy too.
Also even with it being social its so intertwined with different economic factors that it is in many ways economics itself.
communism was originally a stateless, post economic, social organization structure. the fact of the matter is that all issues you engage with in life have multiple facets to them: social, economic, political, and propaganda. the real questions when applying a critical lens to our current place in time is to examine who benefits, who suffers, and who is played between the two to decide who the real evil is, and in what ways are they tricked into thinking the people with power are on their side.
