Its time to start calling trump a communist

[moonshinegnomie]

the fascists liek to throw out teh term communist or socialist or other names to denigrate dems over anything they can.

in june 12th trump signed off on teh merger of US steel with nippon steel of japan. one condition of the merger was giving the US a so called "golden share"
the power of the share will be held solely by trump during his term and then pass to the treasure and commerce dept after his term.
the golden share grants trump the following powers


Changing U.S. Steel’s name, moving its headquarters from Pittsburgh, and relocating the company outside the U.S.
Closing, idling, selling production locations through 2035, and U.S. Steel’s Granite City Works through 2027.
Cutting the base salary of employees through 2030.
Reducing, waiving or a delaying the timeline set out for $10.8 billion in capital investment.
Acquiring any business in the U.S. that competes with U.S. Steel or its suppliers.


government control of a private business??? smells like Communism to me. and the dems should exploit it . take out ads calling him a commie. call his supporters communist sympathizers.

1. No

That is more like Fascism than Communism.

[moonshinegnomie]

2. it may not fit the literal definition

but the right like to throw the word around calling dems that all the time . time to turn the tables.

when they hit low we hit lower.....

8. This more "when they go dumb, we go dumber"

There's no upside I see in this sort of exercise.

[moonshinegnomie]

9. i see a lot of upside

lets face it there aer a lot of morons in this country. and the facists keep spewing their lies which if you tell them enough poeple start to belive

so a campaign to paint trump and his morons as commies if repeated enough will get his cult to at least think about it

[TheProle]

10. I disagree and believe there are better ways to fight

than to build a campaign on the shaky foundation of an erroneous definition.

[PeterIsMyBrother]

15. scary

for you to think of the Dems doing something that would annoy Trump, huh?

[TheProle]

16. I quite enjoy court rulings and procedural issues that undermine his agenda.

And I admire actions taken with intellectual honesty with predictable benefit to politically dismantle him.

But if I had a nickel for every DU poster who thinks their pet meme, clapback or groupthink insult makes Trump “meltdown in any manner that will embarrass him into being less cruel, less stupid or less dangerous, I’d be richer than he claims to be.

Oh, welcome to DU

17. right, that's it

eloquent but transparent

3. Trump frequently uses the Communist clenched fist from the Spanish civil war.

11. Didn't think of that one lol...

also, didn't Republicans adopt the color red once they decided that they were to become radical revolutionaries?

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. Fascist is a much more accurate label.

The “golden share” is not Trump’s personal property, it is under control of whoever is president.

The whole deal stinks.

5. Stalinism. nt

6. Stalinism would have Trump appoint the people running it,

make sure that they produced what he wanted to be produced, from the appropriate raw material sources, sold to the people that he thought needed it for the price the state set.

Of course, he could delegate the authority, to be sure.

I don't like it for all sorts of reasons, but if Stalin limited himself to what Trump did it would still be fairly free market.

I look forward to when the next president--(D), of course--goes through the process of returning control to the corporation and foreswearing that kind of control in the first 6 months of the new 4-year period. (Actually, I'm not holding my breath. More likely it'll be gifted to the steelworkers union. Either way, it's a government taking.)

7. What would you call a merger of Nationalism and Socialism?

Hmm...

[LudwigPastorius]

12. "...government control of a private business???"

That is fascism/corporatism, according to an old, and very dead, fascist.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini

[Jack Valentino]

13. It's TIME to start calling Trump a NAZI, which is more accurate!!!!

Hitler wannabe, with "Mein Kamph" on his bedside table...

[Jack Valentino]

14. Or maybe calling him a "communist-NAZI"---- magats have no problem with

mixing incompatible political labels on people, so they have given us plenty of cover
to do the same!

18. W.E.B. DuBois and Paul Robeson were communists... Trump is no communist.
