If capitalism had a comeback in 2016, then why are we seeing a rise in socialist supremacy supporters in 2018? Capitalism trumped socialism in our last presidential election. Donald Trump won the 2016 election in large part due to the American working class. Hardworking Americans wanted to keep what they earned (capitalism) as opposed to having to give it up, by force, and watch that money be given away to those who didn't earn it at all (socialism). Andy Puzder gave this victory a great name: The Capitalist Comeback.
The election of a president who supported capitalism became an issue of outrage for a small faction of angry socialists who believed in the destruction of private property rights—and destruction of property altogether. They claimed anyone who disagreed with them was a fascist and hence a capitalist (which is a significant logical error on their part, since fascists are in fact socialists, not capitalists). Antifa is what they called themselves, coming from the term anti-fascists. (They should more honestly call themselves Antica—because, in reality, they are just anti-capitalist.) They spent the past two years destroying private property and committing violent acts...….
Which brings me to the term that I have been using to describe Antifa, "socialist supremacists." If "white supremacist" is the correct term to describe someone who believes in his inherent superiority based on his pro-white beliefs, then "socialist supremacist" is the correct term to describe someone who believes in his inherent superiority based on his pro-socialist beliefs. Nazis and Antifa both believe in their inherent superiority.

It amazes me that so many people are so uninformed about socialism.
I don’t want those filthy socialist rats to get their hands on the levers of power.
If they did, and it only affected them, I would be all for it. But we would be forced to suffer the consequences of their black, malicious, stupidity as well.
Capitalism enables you to buy more bullets than socialism...

I’ve always had that attitude.
When it adversely affects them, so what. But when we must suffer the consequences, it is unjust and wrong.
Socialism only spreads the misery equally except for the elites who are not affected that much.
The USSR had it’s Nomenclatura (elite oligarchs). We are now in an Oligarchy.
Blame the media and our higher learning centers of education.
Exactly. What is that old saying, your freedom stops when your fist hits my face?
In a just society, that should be true.
Leftists have no problem with their figurative fists hitting our faces.
“since fascists are in fact socialists”
Hitler was a National Socialist.
The Soviets never used the term “Nazi”, to describe Hitler and Company, always the term “Fascist”, which is actually Mussolini’s government.
To use the term “Nazi” would have been an admission by the Soviets that Hitler was a fellow Socialist.
The rise in socialist supremacy is due to the decline of freedom. It is in decline because the concept of freedom is no longer properly understood. It is no longer understood because he disintegrated mode of thought is dominating the culture. The disintegrated mode of thought is anti-reality and anti-reason.
In addition, the worship of big government is replacing the worship of God. Big government is considered to be omnipotent and omniscient.
When these two modes of thought form an eclectic mixture, the result is the acceptance of destructive delusions like socialism.
Blame the USSR. They planted moles in the universities, media, and entertainment to spread their poisonous ideas in the 1950s. I think that they used flattery to get the useful idiots to accept and parrot their ideas. That is, the rationale for socialism makes no sense, but they told their targets that the ideas are so complex that only super smart people understand them. Thus, the useful idiots learned to parrot those ideas because they believed it made them super smart, even as they were not smart enough to perceive that the ideas are nonsense.
We are now seeing the fruits of the work the Soviets began decades ago.
Assault & battery with intent to commit grave bodily harm or cause death can be legally met with deadly force in most states.
An Antifa swinging a bike lock or chain could end up stopping a bullet if present trends continue.
The Soviets never used the term “Nazi”, to describe Hitler and Company, always the term “Fascist”, which is actually Mussolini’s government.

Good points.
And throughout WW II Stalin and other Soviet leaders never said “We must fight to preserve Communism”. No once.
They always said “We must fight for the Motherland”.
Evil bastards.
Everybody that supports Capitalism should be able to define it and defend it easily.
Capitalism is simply the sum of two things: freedom and property rights.
And socialism is taking from those who earned it and giving to those who definitely did not earn it. The thing largely left out is that those who redistribute take their cut, usually in the 50%-75% range. They become the new elite through theft.
That’s just brilliant. I may have to steal it.
Go ahead Brill Krinton..../S
