    Fuck Trump and Musk, but seriously, this comic is just shit. Whatever you people call communism in the US has nothing to do with what actual communism was or is. The communism had its elites and whoever claims that people were or are equal under communism is just an ignorant. And, most importantly, communism in Soviet Union was just a brutal regime which silenced the opponents by killing or torturing them.

      The comic is mocking the idea that Republicans call Democrat policies “communist.” If they were, this is what the Communist Revolution would have looked like.

          No, they were robbing and killing everyone who even slightly reminded “the bourgeoisie”, “to build an equal society of workers”. They also sold whatever they could abroad (they sold a fucking Alaska!), and villagers who stopped being serfs less than a century before, became modern slaves who couldn’t leave their kolhoz (farming cooperative).
          Edit: the big sale also involved grain, which led to starvation
