if we rebranded communism as “prosperity economics” and “seizing the means of production” as “supply-side democracy” I think we could make some serious inroads with working-class liberals. words don’t mean anything so why not weaponize that.

Funnily enough, US foreign policy for the last 100 years has generally prefered dictatorships and authoritarian regimes, as they are easier to control than democracies.

(Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan were atypical campaigns).
