I came up with the theory that communists are behind inflation, the riots in the US and Europe, and woke culture, which is illogically worldwide.
The goal is to make people miserable until they demand increased communist government.
With that being said, I like the idea of communism. However, Marx said it would evolve through education in the population. It is not what happened in Russia etc, because you can't force it.
Anyway, I got the sense that communists had invaded the various Western government because of the sameness of all the cultural changes across a wide variety of countries.
I later learned there's a communist philosophy called Cultural Hegemony that is exactly what we are seeing. The idea is to destroy the culture that supports capitalism in order to make people lose faith in it. So, you must ruing cultural stories, icons, and make everyone feel poor.
That is NOT what Marx predicted would happen. I can't stand using lies and manipulation to make the world better, and that is what we are seeing. If that's correct about Democrats, and maybe some Republicans, life will keep getting worse and worse until we have another Holocaust situation instead of equality and freedom, as we would have with actual communism.

Inflation has existed long before Communism ideology.
Woke just means aware of inequality and injustice. Why support them instead of equality and justice for all?

That was a moronic and uneducated reply.
Plays have existed but if you turn stories into propaganda, they become weapons.
Woke is a falsely positive term for spreading irrational propaganda.
Sinister people typically use positivity to mask their sinister intentions. For instance, Nazis were seemingly about multiculturalism. They heavily promoted the fact that European culture is from India, not the mideast. So, they used the swastika as a symbol. That's an Indian "good luck" sign.
Just the same, the US media has been promoting "positive" things like equality for women by also promoting hate toward men. Nazis promoted that Indian culture was "enlightened" while saying jews and their culture is a bunch of lies inflicted on Europeans.
Learn how to think and don't tell people smarter than you, anything.

Merriam-Webster definition:
woke: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).
Racists are against racial and social justice which explains your problem with the concept.
"Nazis were seemingly about multiculturalism."
What nonsense! Nazis believed white Germans were the master race which is the reason they slaughtered millions of Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah Witnesses and blacks. You're clueless about multiculturalism.

Most people on here don't. I'm not sure why I even post on political boards, but on Movie Chat every board has become a political board. This place really sucks.
This country is doomed. The world is doomed. There is no going back from the insanity that has been unleashed upon this world, there is no logic to anything. Good is considered evil and evil is considered good. I'm just going to watch it all burn down. I'm not happy about it, but I have come to accepted it.
I'm not much of an upper am I?

I agree.
My hope is to ride it out and leave before another Holocaust type situation happens.
I was saying to someone at work the other day, just wait until the pendulum swings back again, and there will be trouble.
Human nature has been the same for tens of thousands of years. The media, etc has been trying to change how humans think and behave around very important issues since I was a child in the 70s. I am a "liberal" about things like economics, but not about things like morality and ethics. Traditional morality is something humans crave and to attempt to change that invites a backlash or epic proportions.
That's what happened in Germany before WW2, all of the same issues that annoy many people today were popular then. So, there's another horrible situation coming and it will happen the further away from WW2 we get because history repeats.
I don't involve myself in politics any longer because all of the talk and policies almost never actually amount to anything and society is just a "wave" we all ride until the next crazy things happens.

No, it hasn't. Right-wing extremists and racists have zero right to change a term they didn't create.

Nonsense. Right-wing extremists' MO is to take a term or goal and redefine it with negativity. You're predictable.

No. You’re lying.
