What Trump is doing has nothing to do with communism. It is raw naked capitalism, whose end game appears to be oligarchy, aligning itself with fascism rather than accept an egalitarian society in which it has to give up any of its advantage.
I mean he nationalized 10% of Intel. That's pretty much textbook communism.
Only entirely uneducated and brainwashed Americans would claim that anything Trump is doing could be called communism. The educated world is a combination of laughing at you/shaking their head.
You really need to educate yourselves. Because at the moment your ignorance is harmful.
Nationalization of private companies? How is that not a communist act? Don't get me wrong, I think he's a fascist first and foremost but he's doing some weirdly collectivist stuff. Which is funny because that is what actually uneducated Americans (not me, and it's pretty funny you consider yourself to be a spokesperson for "the educated world" when you're most likely a barely bilingual teenager) have been screaming about for a long time despite our socialized car culture, military, and corporate welfare program. But you go on and raise your blood pressure about things you don't fully understand and yell on the Internet at people you certainly have little chance of challenging intellectually.
One thing you gotta know about politics, is you have to use "fascism" when your audience is on the left, but for conservatives, "communism" is a much scarier word so you should use that instead. Its basically code-switching in order to get your point across. The average people are too dumb to understand nuances so you have to dumb it down for them to understand.
