The Vampyre's Den

Which one develops the working class the most?

Which one has the better literacy and education rates?

No civil liberties? No human rights? Lol okay, bud. Big scawwy communism is too scawy to even read about. Lol

You can operate a democracy with a socialist or communist party taking the helm occasionally. ❤️ It can be done. And, the US is actually primed for such a scenario 🦅🇺🇸😎

Here are some examples:

Chile (1970–1973): Under the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende, the nation pursued a transition to socialism while maintaining a robust multi-party system and democratic institutions, until it was overthrown in a military coup.

Democratic Republic of Georgia (1918–1921): Ruled by the Menshevik Social Democrats, this early republic emphasized democratic elements of socialism and supported political pluralism and a free press.

Nepal (2006–Present): Functioning as a multi-party parliamentary republic, Nepal has been governed by several democratic communist parties (such as the CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist Centre) operating under "People's Multiparty Democracy".

Cyprus (2008–2013): Under President Demetris Christofias of the Progressive Party of Working People (AKEL), Cyprus had a democratically elected communist head of state within a multi-party European Union framework.

India officially defines the country as a "Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic". It operates a vibrant multiparty democracy with regular elections and an evolving mixed economy under a parliamentary system.

Sri Lanka official constitutional name is the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. It utilizes a multiparty democracy that guarantees universal suffrage and incorporates socialist principles into its guiding directive principles of state policy.

Tanzania transitioned from a single-party socialist system in 1992 but continues to be governed by a constitution that defines it as a socialist and democratic state, operating under a modern multiparty framework.

Is that what you call the Soviet conquest of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Albania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and East Germany?

No civil liberties? No human rights? Lol okay, bud. Big scawwy communism is too scawy to even read about.

Every single communist state is and has been a one-party dictatorship. Prove me wrong: show me examples. And the ones you're listing don't count, because...

Nepal (2006–Present): Functioning as a multi-party parliamentary republic, Nepal has been governed by several democratic communist parties (such as the CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist Centre) operating under "People's Multiparty Democracy".

This is not a communist state, it is a multi-party parliamentary republic as you said, with a capitalist economy. Those political parties were also fabulously corrupt, were two of the three main targets of the student revolution(alongside the Nepali Congress) and were demolished in the subsequent eleciton that saw the rise of the liberal centrist RSP to power.

Cyprus had a democratically elected communist head of state within a multi-party European Union framework.

Multi-party democracy with a capitalist economy. Not a communist state.

India officially defines the country as a "Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic".

India is no more socialistic than America is. Because, as you said, it is a multi-party democracy, although you left out its capitalist economy.

Sri Lanka official constitutional name is the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka.

A name that means nothing, since in reality it is, say it with me now, a multi-party liberal democracy with a capitalist economy.

Tanzania transitioned from a single-party socialist system in 1992 but continues to be governed by a constitution that defines it as a socialist and democratic state, operating under a modern multiparty framework.

It also murdered hundreds of protestors, because it's a dominant-party dictatorship masquerading as a democracy like two dozen other African nations.

How many capitalist dictatorships have there been? Lol

You can have communist and socialist parties in a multiparty system. That's what I'm saying. Idk why you think I'm advocating for a one party autocracy? Get to convincing people capitalism is going to generate more and affordable housing and various other improvements we haven't seen yet, soon! Lol then let the socialist and communist parties pitch their plan.

Something something freedom of choice lol

That's what communism is. If those parties you mentioned were truly dedicated to implementing communism, they'd have dismantled the entire democratic system like Hugo Chavez and Daniel Ortega. They didn't because they either knew they couldn't get away with it or were abandoning the majority of Marxist dogma by giving up on the idea of the dictatorship of the Party, excuse me of the proletariat, in favor of continuing to operate within the liberal democratic capitalist system their ideology claims can never solve anything and must be destroyed.

all the negative things you said about all these communist parties operating states has absolutely been committed in a coup (or otherwise) implementation of a capitalist dictatorship, of which, there have been many.

Like I said, I think the US is primed to have representation from socialist and communist parties and not fall into one party autocracy.

What I want is a communist to sell the idea of free space ships for everyone and then Republicans come out and say "okay we'll think about doing public transit" Currently we have a racheting effect to the right. Where the Democrats do nothing, Republicans inch right, on repeat lol

“replace [Group I Hate] with [Group I Like] and suddenly the statement i previously agreed with sounds really uncomfortable to me!”

And even if it was that doesn’t prove there’s an actual significant threat.

“replace [Group I Hate] with [Group I Like] and suddenly the statement i previously agreed with sounds really uncomfortable to me!”

Users on social media are sharing a photograph of demonstrators holding a banner that has been altered to include the message “ANTIFA against bikers”. The banner in the original photograph reads, “Free all ANTIFA prisoners”.

Different iterations of the claim are visible here , here , here , here .

The most popular iteration of the claim features an alleged screenshot of a post from an Antifa Facebook page that reads “Racist bikers watch out we are coming to Sturgis”, most likely referring to the annual Motorcycle Rally held in the city of Sturgis, South Dakota (here , here ). The post also mentions various motorcycle clubs including Hells Angels, Pagan MC and Outlaw MC ( here ).

Early iterations of the original image visible here and here show the banner actually reads, “Free all ANTIFA prisoners.”

The original photograph features Antifa demonstrators in Denmark on May 1, 2015 during the International Workers Day celebration in Copenhagen’s Fælledparken park. Additional footage of the scene is visible here (photos 62 and 70) and here .

VERDICT

False. The banner in this photo has been altered to include the message against bikers.
