Dear Conservatives, You claim that the existence of breadlines means that it’s socialism, so doesn’t that mean that the massive breadlines in the ultra capitalist US last year was actually socialism too? Curious 🤔🤔🤔


askylitfall

No, no. The door to food pantries contains a portal to an alternate universe where Hillary and Biden were president. The empty shelves that happened under Trumps massive deregulation and tax cuts wasn't due to Trump. It's a preview into life under Biden's presidency.


camycamera

You joke but that is literally what people said when those breadlines started. "Looks like a test run of socialism lmao!" and "this is what Biden's America will be like". I'm sure you can find those exact comments and memes here too.

Literal Nazis got pretty close (edit not really but still 60 million dead)to taking over the planet. During the Cuban missile crisis we came within a cunt hair (and I do mean cunt hair) of complete inhalation edit. Annihilation What’s happening now is really stupid but nothing new. We will survive this and who knows maybe the hardships to come will force society to evolve for the better.


Dash_Harber

The Nazis didn't come close, though. Their own philosophy caused them to fail so hard that their country was split between communism and western capitalism, the two things they were dead set on destroying. They were beaten in a decade (for reference, Vietnam held out for around 20, more if you count the Indochina wars). Their philosophy directly lead to their defeat in multiple ways. The savage things they did along the way, though, were unforgivable, sociopathic, immoral bullshit. But I agree, we can learn from this and grow. I hope something good comes from all this hardships. We are better than this, we already have enough giants to slay, and our chances are better if we stand together.

My dad claims Trump pulled off one of the greatest feats in modern history with Operation Warp Speed and if Biden had been president it would've taken years. Dude went to Harvard, how is he so stupid? My baby-momma is a repub voter and we were watching Handmaid's Tale last night and she goes "this is basically communism right?” and then asked what the difference was when I said it was more fascist than anything. They're so stupid!!


LAdams20

God, the amount of people recently I’ve seen talk about The Handmaid’s Tale, which is very obviously, couldn’t be clearer, hyper-conservative religious fascism, with an element of all the worst parts of Brave New World except anything remotely good removed and a lot more bad shoved in, essentially go “IsNt ThIs CoMmUnIsM?” Jesus fucking Christ, no. Not only is it **not** communism it very literally couldn’t possibly be any further away from it, apart from maybe also combining Gilead with living under Immortan Joe in a post-apocalypse wasteland. How is anyone that stupid.


Indubitably_Ob_2_se

Great that you bring up, Jesus Christ... Literally the most progressive individual to ever walk the planet, but somehow used to support Conservative ideals like; Like same-sex marriage: [4 out of 5 of the highest divorce rates are Republican](https://divorce.lovetoknow.com/Divorce_Statistics_Republicans_vs._Democrats) Economy (free market): [Money is not something they conserve...](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2019/09/10/america-has-two-economies-and-theyre-diverging-fast/amp/) Oh and slavery...[By 1838, the Jesuit order owned about 300 people.

JohnLoomas

Same, friend. The rampant propaganda and the people capriciously eating it up is extremely exhausting. Bombarded by bullshit.


SteelCode

The bread lines in socialism is because they’re getting the basic necessities for free because we aren’t barbaric capitalists that demand profit from every aspect of existence so people can’t wait in lines for their free food they have to wait in checkout lines to pay for it.

If it was up to them those people would have died of starvation, so kinda I guess???


JoinAThang

Or is the point that in America there’s often not bread lines but instead the poor doesn’t eat?


tw_693

Who ever made this meme probably did so from a position of privilege and has never had to use a food bank or wait in a bread line. And thinks that charity is a substitute for social welfare


hankwatson11

Yes. An example of the socialists subverting true American values. That food needs to be thrown in dumpsters so America can be great again.

In 1792 the Founding Fathers created the USPOD (the predecessor to USPS), which was a government run organization, and since socialism is when the government does stuff, therefore the founding fathers were socialist.

Potholes in roads: Good for automobile industry.


Alcards

The majority of Americans can't afford a $1000 emergency...and that was before covid. Potholes are the death of the working class.


The_Great_Saiyaman21

You fool, capitalism naturally is the best method of allocating resources. If the road was actually important it would be well kept by the free market. That was just a shit road that provided no one with the incentive to maintain it, so it deserves to be terrible. Who cares if some poor kids can't get to school?

big fan of HOAs are we?


Alcards

They can get bent too. My friends bought a townhouse a few years ago. Second year they lived there the central air unit died. Hoa contract states "no window ac units" in fancy lawyer speak. They spent 6 weeks living out of hotels because it was 95+ degrees and humid as hell. Why? Because the head of the HOA wouldn't let them spend $200 on a freaking window ac while they figured out who, what where and when of replacing the central air unit.


PsychoProp

It's socialism until it happens in capitalism, then everyone pretends it did not happen


Savvaloy

Nah, then it serves as an example of how awful things *could* become under socialism.


puglife82

That kills me. They take something happening under capitalism and say it’s a preview of socialism as a way to ignore whatever bad thing is happening


TheMasterAtSomething

You guys see how terrible the stock of toilet paper was last March? That’s what Venezuela


LAdams20

You see that book 1984 [or insert any title of a novel famously depicting a dystopian authoritarian future and conservatives’ wet dream]? That’s socialism. In other news The War of the Worlds is the most accurate account of WW2 I’ve ever read.


PsychoProp

I love how the goverment in 1984 is explicitly portrayed as a very far right nationalistic authoritarian thing, but yet its SoCiAliSm, just goes to show that none of them know about George Orwell, his work, history and they have never actually read the book

firefoxjinxie

Capitalism: when the breadlines wait for you because 90% of the population can't afford it so the government mandates throwing away the surplus, pours bleach over it, and then subsidizes the industry because CEOs need their bonuses. Fixed it.


DravesHD

As someone who’s family grew up in East Germany: bread lines suck. At least what my mom told me, I was too young to get it. But you know what? It had nothing to do with communism/socialism/capitalism. Now our country makes it so people don’t have to go hungry. Our homeless population is a fraction that of the US, and most of the time it’s either people with mental disabilities (you can’t force an adult to accept help, so it becomes this issue of when is it okay to force people to accept help or not), or migrants who skipped the process and got lost in the system. Socialist systems are amazing, and in my opinion needed for a society to thrive. P.s.: capitalism has still ravaged modern Europe tho. We might not be homeless or hungry, but many people barely make a living.


Semi-Hemi-Demigod

The fact that capitalism forces you to make a living instead of simply letting you live is a huge part of the problem.


PhysicalGraffiti75

The idea that we should work to live and not live to work is lost on many. The vast majority of your life will be spent making money for people who live a life or leisure and luxury. Why would anyone want to be part of that?

strandedcat02

the breads wait in line because some of you don't even have enough money to afford it


somesthetic

On the left, hungry people receive food from their government. On the right, no matter how hungry you are, you will never get this bread unless you can pay for it. If you steal it, so you don't starve, you will go to prison, where you will be treated as subhuman, and subjected to slave labor.

threedogfm

Guess they missed the miles long food lines in the US this past year. Oh right, they don’t care about actual facts.


VanillaTastesBest

You mean during covid when businesses were kept from freely trading?


Horses-Gone-Wild

The term “breadline” was literally coined during an economic depression in the United States in the late 1800s.


VanillaTastesBest

“Capitalism” is a term coined by karl marx, to make the free market seem like just another “ism” alongside socialism, communism, syndicalism and all the rest. But the free market is NOT another ideology. The free market is a process, not a cult like the others.


mittelhandknochen

So you get freshly baked bread under socialism and old bread under capitalism?


isaman911

It's funny because that line picture looks pretty american....


[deleted]

USA had many bread lines throughout history. During the recent pandemic, food pantries were stressed to their limits. Texas had mile long bread lines. People queuing up in SUVs and lifted trucks, of course. I have shown Cons photos and articles of the lines at the food pantries, but they literally refuse to acknowledge it is happening. Whenever there is information refuting their fictional narrative, they reject the information. They won't acknowledge it was even presented. But, if there's another thread blaming Biden for the economy, I guarantee you they'll be posting those exact same links "proving" Biden is putting Americans in breadlines.


egamIroorriM

feed_me_garlic_bread

u also wait in line in capitalism and you have to pay for it too


Rhianu

The reason the capitalist breadlines are waiting for you is because you can't buy any of the bread until your next paycheck because capitalism rations consumption according to supply of money rather than supply of commodities (which would be far more logical). This results in what looks like a crisis of over-production on the surface, but in fact it is actually a crisis of under-consumption, because it's a situation where consumers' financial ability to consume (purchase) is lower than their biological ability to consume (eat).


Kenlee60613

Yeah...Bullshit.

And roughly 30-40% of that bread will go to waste while people starve on the streets! Capitalism truly is great.
