Back Porch Files: Why They Scream Communism
from Your Neighbor on the Left Podcast · host Your Neighbor on the Left
Trump and the GOP love using “Communism” as a panic button, especially when the real conversation is about health care, rent, wages, unions, public goods, and billionaire power. This episode breaks down what Democratic Socialism actually is, what it is not, why it is not the authoritarian nightmare Trump keeps describing, and how anti-socialist propaganda works by making regular people afraid of policies that might help them while teaching them to revere billionaires who already have far too much control over American life.
