Another great thing about capitalism is it never has to produce propaganda to justify its own existence. That's only something communism and socialism under constant assault from capitalist regimes need to do

I wish us commies made as much propaganda as capitalists do. The far right rant about communist propaganda, but I can't ever find any!

I'm sorry, haven't you watched any movie or TV show or read a book or been on the internet recently? It's communist propaganda, all of it

I suppose, to conservatives, reading probably is a "commie thing" to do...

"You just call everything communism, and hate communism without knowing what it is, because the Red Scare never ended." "Those kids would be very upset if they could read." "Readin's for commies!"

i think the fact that you can say this without irony is a testament to the abject power of the pro-capitalist propaganda that permeates all "western" media

[–] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure this is dripping with irony

poor phrasing on my part, more like the fact that it could be said unironically by people...
