          Okay, so I general when you say, “Every accusation is a confession” it means that when a certain type of person accuses others of doing something that they are doing it themselves.

          So, in the past Republicans would endlessly decry how evil homosexuality is, but they would get discovered having all kinds of gay sex.

          Similarly, when the Republicans talked about Democrats being pedophiles, and then the Epstein files showed that it was actually mostly Republicans raping children.

          So when the Republicans say, “the Democrats are Communists” and then your response is, “every accusation is a confession”, people will naturally think that you mean that the Republicans are confessing to being communists.

        Yes, but only if you’re rich enough. Corporations and billionaires are the people, AKA proletarians. Everyone who works for a living is a corporate asset, AKA the means of production.

        MAGA ensures that the proletariat maintains a death-grip on the means of production. And enforces a regulatory climate that prevents the means of production from creating expensive bottlenecks such as achieving autonomy or declaring ownership of oneself.

    What if Americans want to be communists isn’t this the land of the free?

    That’s fine, they know their base doesn’t actually know what communism is, so it’s completely disingenuous and rage-baiting to say something so obviously false.

    First amendment says I can be or do whatever I want, just like Mike Johnson is allowed to be a giant raging Pedophile
