Just so everyone is aware, the communism being pushed by the DSA, and all historical Marxist variants, is not anti capitalism.
It is pro extreme capitalism.
The world they are trying to usher in is where all the "contradictions" they claim take place without them in dictatorial control, will allegedly be transcended by bringing to the world CLOSER to an extreme caricature of capitalism, where the communists control ALL means of production and they (falsely) claim they will do a better job.
I am not making this up. It is what Marx himself wrote in the Paris manuscripts. He called it raw or crude communism, and he relied on a religious faith in a "dialectic" to magically move the world on its own to the next supposed stage, a promised utopia on the other side. "Just wait a little more, we're not ready yet, yes it's harsh right now, but you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet" is how the communist dictators explained to the masses dying from famine and disease and gulag concentration camp prisons.
Marxism is actually a call for MORE of the private property evils and contradictions and flaws that it claims to have discovered in the world they dont control. The communists want to control all private property for themselves. They falsely speak their control is public, but that's a lie, because anyone in communism who tried to control their own lemonade stand without the approval of the true private property owners, the communists, those people will be aggressed against in some form by the communist dictators. Fines, threats, prison, death.
Marxism is not anti capitalism. It is the world's most vicious caricature of extreme capitalism.
The best way to respond to accusations and criticisms of the communists, is to tell them and anyone listening that they're not actually against what they claim to be against.
They're against others (dissenters, peaceful protestors, non communists, opponents, anyone standing in their way to dominate) controlling means of production.
They're NOT against themselves controlling all of the means of production.
When they accuse you of being greedy, they're talking about their own greed being constrained by decentralized private property where anyone can legally own means of production.
When they accuse the world of wealth being concetrated, they're not against it, they're just against others producing, earning, saving, and accumulating relatively lots of wealth that the communists dont control.
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, DO NOT PERCEIVE THEIR ACCUSATIONS AGAINST YOU OR THE WORLD TO BE LEGITIMATE OBSERVATIONS ONLY, AS IF ONLY EXTERNAL TO THEIR OWN IDEOLOGICAL DRIVES.
Perceive those accusations and criticisms to be an attempt to take control and do what they claim you should not be able to do, but they can.
Think the SPLC pattern. Publicly oppose. Privately promote.
Marxism is a theory that seeks to turn the world into one where one "family" controls everything.
Now about who controls the world's central banks, which are the 5th plank of communism in The Communist Manifestoโฆ.
