Nothing that Harris offered was remotely similar to "disguised communism"- if we actually ended up with anything like small-c communism(not the large-C dictatorial Stalinist/Maoist type, which is what failed) we wouldn't be becoming a nation ls "a handful of haves and millions of have nots", a regression Elon Musk's call for "hardship" can only make worse.

Increased economic inequality and greater tax cuts for the rich have never helped the millions of have nots, and they never will now. And there is no such thing as "woke ideology"- just the truth that we ARE a country built on structural racism and Black people- and the large chunk of Latino/a/e/x people who seem to be willing themselves not to believe it at the moment- are in a situation where the system is gamed against them and none of them deserve to be accused not "trying hard enough".

And remember, essentially half the country voted against your rage agenda, and that half the country won't give up or go away.

Overall, it's race AND class, and anybody who wants to change things has to find a way to create a program that addresses the effects of both.
