    Folks, the bourgeois, they’re no good, more and more people are saying it. All these workers— the biggest, we have the biggest workers— very handsome workers come up to me and say, Comrade Trump there is a specter haunting Europe, and you know what, they’re right. These bourgeois are very nasty people, very very rude, and very unfair to the workers. They are stealing our surplus value and no one is doing anything about it. The proletariat comes up to me every day and says, Comrade Trump will you lead the revolution? And I gotta turn to them and say look, the instruments of capitalism will be used to bring about its destruction, believe me. The means of production, Obama never wanted to seize them. Well guess what? I’m seizing them. Landlords? They’re done for folks. Everyone told me— they said, Comrade Trump you won’t be the vanguard of the revolution and they would laugh, the media laughed the democrats laughed, guess who’s laughing now?

    I’m sorry, I Can’t Hold it

    I’ve read more of Lenin’s writings recently and I’ve developed an even greater appreciation for his mind. The fact that this guy who had such a good knowledge of theory was also leading a revolution? It’s like if you had Michael Jordan on the court but he also possessed Phil Jackson’s knowledge of strategy and tactics and his ability to motivate a team.

    All this to say, to compare Lenin to Trump - even if it’s by some MAGA communist who has no idea what they are doing - is offensive to me on a personal level.

    I brought this up in my American media literacy thread. If you were to just lie about Trumps support for things (healthcare, immigration, queer rights, workers rights), would people switch their allegiance from nation and capital? My suspicion is no, but if some people accidentally became communists because they took your words at face value…

    Really, I think most people understand power and allegiance even if they struggle to verbalise why they support one policy or politician. They know that if you say “Trump said that international workers rights will improve your standard of living”, you’re probably bullshitting them.

    (I’m terrible at rhetoric, can you tell?)
