This feels similar to what Biden tried to do (which failed spectacularly, btw) when he tried to outflank Trump on the border from the right, the summer before the election.
Its not clear understands what she's doing here and is confusing the language of communism with that of authoritarianism. So she's saying Trump isn't capitalist enough? Like who is it she thinks this rhetoric is going to move? Who is this argument designed to work on?
No need to compliment him by calling him a communist. He's a dictator who operates a system built around a cult of personality where he delegates authority to sycophants not based on ability to do the job well, but on shared ideology, capacity to serve within the cult of personality, and his personal liking of them, alongside an economic policy built around society serving capital which serves the cult of personality. English actually has a word for such a system but it's legally questionable to refer to the current regime using it at the moment.
She can't say fascist because fascism is the merger of corporate and state power which is what the US has been building since forever.
TIL Harris doesn't know the difference between communism and facism.
Because calling your enemies commie leftists is definitely not something fascists do.
This seems to be a misquote, unless this is a separate quote they just didn’t bother to put in the article.
My read is she’s saying Trump is a dictator like they had in “communist” countries. I would frame this a bit differently but there certainly are similarities.
What an incredibly stupid thing to say as one of the only public statements since losing an election to a bozo.
What a stupid fucking person
Somebody failed political science class in highschool, apparently.
