Krasnov Fears Zohran Mamdani

[gab13by13]

Why? Krasnov fears him because he is a left wing populist, an old fashioned Democrat.

High ranking Democrats who refuse to endorse Mamdani are doing exactly what Krasnov wants.

Donald Fucking Trump has been acting more like a Socialist, more like a communist than any Democrat. I would love to debate which one is the real Socialist.

1. How is Trump acting like a Socialist?

Or even a Communist

wut?

5. Didn't Krasnov tell Big retail stores to eat the added costs from the tariffs?

In other words Krasnov is trying to set the price of goods.

How many industries is Krasnov bailing out? When his tariffs caused farmers to go under, Krasnov simply reimburses with taxpayer dollars.

How many other industries is Krasnov supporting with bail outs, he has given millions of taxpayer dollars to prop up the coal industry.

Since when has the US government taken a 10% stake in a company which gives Krasnov the power to have a say in who is the CEO, etc, and then the government will share in the companies profits.

Taking from the poor and transferring their wealth to the rich is Socialism.

7. "Taking from the poor and transferring their wealth to the rich is Socialism."

It most certainly is not.

Trump is a statist (statism: concentration of economic controls and planning in the hands of a highly centralized government often extending to government ownership of industry)

He is also an aspiring fascist: (fascism: a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition)

2. Oh com'on !

Donald Trump acting more like a socialist, more like a communist ... The man that is cutting trillions to virtual every program, service and cause that he can think of ... Can you hear yourself?

6. That loss of wealth is being transferred to his cronies, call it crony capitalism if Socialism is too harsh.

[TheProle]

8. It's not "too harsh," it's simply wrong.

It sounds like something you're trying to shoehorn into your exhausting attempts to make "Krasnov" a thing.

9. Just found out he is having the government buy a

10% share of Lithium Americas, it's stock immediately went through the roof, just like he formerly bought a 10% stake if Intel.

Krasnov has gutted millions of dollars meant for state and local law enforcement with the plan to transfer that money to create militarized police.

What name would you give those 2 examples?

[stopdiggin]

13. The problem lies in tossing around words ... That don't at all describe ...

it detracts (in fact almost scuttles) - any point that you were trying to make.

[everyonematters]

3. He thinks he can make the population fear the Democrats by bringing attention to Mamdani.

Both of the major parties have trouble getting their approval above 40%

[gab13by13]

10. Maybe so, but it doesn't refute my statement

that Krasnov fears Mamdani. A populist from the left is scary to Magats.

[leftstreet]

11. That's the thing you're right about

They want their populists to come from the right, not the left

But as far as the economic moves Trump's making (taking stakes, diverting to corps), that's not Socialism, that's Fascism. Centralized "control" but with private ownership

12. Krasnov isn't the only asshole who fears him.

Plenty of others also fear him.
