I won't even ask about the State taking ownership positions in megalomania like NVidia and Amazon.
From 2009 to 2013, the U.S. Treasury was the majority owner of General Motors.

When they themselves tell you who they are, you should believe them. Unless you enjoy looking at the sand you have buried your head in.

Just for historical context, Hitler's Nazis were a fringe group, just like SSS is describing the radical DSAs that are now defeating incumbant established leftist democrats. Neither SSS nor elwood seem to be worried about them or be aware of them, in their TDS tunnel vision. But just like the nazis, these 'democratic socialists' are very much like the 'national socialists' in that they seem to be very much committed and will use any means necessary. The 'Red Rabbits' that Mr. Jenkins refers to could very well evolve into an SS type group.
I'm confused. Are the Democratic Socialists Communists or Nazis? They can't be both.
Yet they are. Mr. Jenkins will tell you exactly what they are if you bother clicking the links I provided and do a little research for yourself. But as long as your head is in the sand, you can remain safely ignorant and post patronizing and stupid comments like the above.
The first article notes that most of the DSA are drawn by a desire for change, not for Communism. I wasn't aware of Mr. Jenkins or his views - thank you for posting that. But did you have to respond to me with such vitriol?

Sorry, but your post has the same patronizing tone that comes from several of the holier than thou, know it all pinheads that inhabit this bored and always have a half baked, prefabricated response to everything and anything I post. Those responses rarely, if ever, address the main point I have made, and are always sure to include an outright or an implied personal insult.

If you listen to Mr. Jenkins, he is the perfect example of the people that the democrat party have been grooming and indoctrinating for decades. They hate America and everything about it, have no concept of the actual history of this country except for the negative aspects and no idea at all of the history of socialism and communism. And now the democrat leadership is wetting their pants that these people are starting to threaten their power in the party. If you don't study history, you're doomed to repeat it.

He''s an example of the fringes that have always been there in American politics. If you look at Twitter, you'll find bunches of right wing, conspiracy theory loonies with their own wacky ideas as well. Of course, you probably think they're all rational great guys because they believe the same as you do. The difference between now and years past is that anyone with a camera and rudimentary computer skills can now broadcast themselves to the world at large.

I don't know what Jenkins' core beliefs are, and I don't care. He is not representative of the Democratic party at large, no matter how much you want to elevate him to make up for your own party's shortcomings. A couple of weeks ago, BiT asked me to come up with a list of Zohran Mamdani's accomplishments in office and I did so. Since then, not a peep from him or anyone else on that subject. Democrats are for things like greater access to healthcare and better affordability. Republicans are for Donald Trump and whatever he happens to believe on some particular day. Flock claims he's no Republican, but he's the biggest Trump idolizer on this Bored.

The DSA has surged in popularity because people hate what Trump has done in office and are frustrated that Jeffries, Schumer, et al are more interested in trying to reach "understandings" than in actually getting things done and taking Trump on. The DSA's primary focus has been taking Trump on and that's what's attracting people to them, not whatever someone with a lot of time on their hands chooses to put on their website in the middle of their mission statement. The people like Jenkins who take the time to write platform statements (which nobody reads) and form do-nothing political committees and toot their own horn on the internet are few and far between. They're not emblematic of a movement, except in the eyes of Republicans desperate for an issue to gain traction with voters. Flock didn't start talking about Communists until his beloved leader Trump did so, and he ignores all of Trump's blatantly autocratic power grabs of the last two years.

Republicans can't run on Trump's record. They can't run on what they intend to do in the next two years. Their only hope is to shout Communist loud enough and often enough to impress votes. They started out by screaming socialist and found that didn't work with voters, so now they're retreated to Communist. Here's a news flash. Most people under the age of 50 have no idea what Communism really is other than as stock villains in movies like Red Dawn. Those who do know realize that the DSA is not communist or willfully choose to ignore that fact in their desperation to find a campaign issue.

You know, SSS, talking to you is a lot like talking to a wall. You don't read or take in anything that is posted to you.
I don't know what Jenkins' core beliefs are, and I don't care.
They are posted here for all who care to see. I already know that you don't care. I think I've stated that your apathy is the problem.
Flock claims he's no Republican, but he's the biggest Trump idolizer on this Bored.
I don't believe I have referred to or referenced trump in this thread, other that to point out that you bring him up no matter what the subject, which is the truth. Spock even pointed out that this thread was not about trump. But, of course, he is your number one subject no matter the topic. Your be all and end all judgement on another human being is whether they agree with trump on anything. Sad, but I know many people like you.

I believe I made a point in saying that they are a small group, and so were Hitler's nazis. Did you not get that? If so, why do you keep pointing that out? However, they seem to be defeating the party's established candidates at an ever increasing rate, aren't they? Why is that, SSS? Do you think they are going to go away? Here is another relevant viewpoint that you will ignore, but I post it because I know you will view it until you find a sub point that you can argue with and deflect from the main point. So I will give you the main point.
Your party has nothing to run on except for issues that 80% of the population disagrees with and/or are based on false premises and narratives. The only thing you have is trump hatred. And while you concentrate on that, a very committed and well funded fringe group of anti-americans is plotting to take over your party and is making great strides to that end.
Republicans can't run on Trump's record.
That's their misfortune, not for you to opine on. I would worry about what is going on in your party. Because it affects all of us if the DSA is successful in their goal. And you would be complicit in your willful ignorance.

That is the important fact isn't it. for some reason, SSS's buddies,the Democratic Socialists (AKA Communists) keep knocking off mainstream Democrats in solid-blue districts. Whether they are actual members , or just sympathizers and/or endorsed by the DSA. the DSA's influence extends far beyong the "card-carrying membership."

While you and flock are working yourselves in a tizzy going over platform statements and online rants to worry about what DSAs might do if they actually get in power, you're ignoring the most obvious evidence... they are in power in the biggest city in the United States. Not only that but doing very well and in a non-Communist way.

So obsess (or in Flock's case pretend to obsess because it's all that right wingers have left to campaign on) over obscure websites and mimes who like to hear themselves talk and ignore how politics really works in this country as evidenced by what's gone on in New York City the last six months.

You'll note that every time I bring up Mamdani's record, you and flock ignore it and change the subject back to some mime ranting online.

I don't care about Mamdani's short term record. I did not bring him up, and that was in answer to a BiT question. Let him respond to that. I will just say: As Margaret Thatcher famously stated, it will work fine until he runs out of other people's money.

So your response to the actual statements of the people behind the DSA is that it was reported by a website you have never heard of? So I guess you're an expert on what websites can be cited? Another clever way to avoid the main point WHICH I CONVENIENTLY GAVE YOU. They are obviously defeating mainstays in your party, albeit in deep blue areas. Are you going to denounce them, or even recognize that they are a threat that your party has fueled with your left wing indoctrination of our education system for decades?

SSS>>>"We've had one example of actual "Communist" leadership this year and that's Zohran Mamdani in New York. I don't hear anyone criticizing his record these last six months."<<<

There is lots of criticism of Mamdami out there-but when you choose to live in an echo chamber of your own beliefs, you are probably not going to "Hear" it.

Also-since you said that using "Communist" to describe your opponents went out in 1989-maybe we could also stop calling people "Nazis" here as that stopped being a relevant thing in 1945.

I guess the more accurate term is neo-Nazi, like these groups:
The Aryan Freedom Network (AFN) is a membership-based neo-Nazi group headquartered in De Kalb, Texas. AFN is a self-described “White Racialist” and “National Socialist” group with chapters throughout the country. It promotes the idea of white unity and often collaborates with other white supremacist organizations, including Klan groups, hate music bands, racist skinheads and various neo-Nazi organizations.

“The Aryan Freedom Network is unapologetic committed to the interests, ideas, security and cultural values of the White Race. We are determined to protect our Race from going into extinction.” — From the Aryan Freedom Network’s website, January 2025

“We must show the world who we are. That we are warriors. Aryan men and women coming together as one to fight for our freedom. To take back our land.” — Dalton Henry Stout, aka “Brother Henry,” at a “Dixie Unity Rally” in Alabama, May 4, 2024

“Race mixing, cripples God’s original design, the plan God had for every race. He gave each race distinct characteristics, which makes them different from all others. ‘Race mixing,’ is an attempt to destroy God’s plan for the races. It violates the inherent “blueprint” for the genes of each human body these genes become mixed up, producing abnormal or irregular patterns.”
Image
Blood Tribe is a white supremacist group with chapters in multiple states whose members stage brash, theatrical demonstrations using explicit Nazi imagery. Wearing their trademark black-and-red outfits and waving swastika flags, members of Blood Tribe have staged rallies in Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Tennessee, South Dakota and Pennsylvania since the group’s founding in 2022.

“Is the spirit of the swastika inside of you, and you’re just not doing it yet? Now, the answer could be ‘no.’ If the answer is ‘no,’ then we’re not on the same team, n—–. You should be upset I’m flying the swastika. I’m not you. You’re not me. We are different.” — Chris “The Hammer” Pohlhaus, in an audio message published on Telegram, March 12, 2023

Here are my demands…1) Admit America was on the side of evil during WW2. 2) Cut out every single race mixer from your life even immediate family members. Burn those bridges. 3) Cut out every single non white/LGBT+ and jew out of your life. Burn those bridges. 4) Say hail Hitler every single day at least once. 5) Fearlessly raise the swastika over your head in pride.” — Chris “The Hammer” Pohlhaus, in a post on Telegram, April 30, 2023

“If you are affiliated with anyone that isn’t actively fighting for separation, you are affiliating with the eventual mongrelization of this country and of our beautiful, holy, sacred blood, forged by thousands of years by our ancestors.” — Chris “The Hammer” Pohlhaus, in a March 15, 2025, livestream
Image
The Base is a white supremacist neo-Nazi accelerationist terrorist group founded in 2018. The Base is also part of the broader neo-fascist skullmask movement among white supremacists, such as Atomwaffen Division and Feuerkrieg, advocating for the formation of white ethnostates through the overthrow of existing governments using terrorism.

The Base’s ideology centers around militant white nationalist accelerationism. Accelerationism is a range of revolutionary left- and right-wing ideologies that advocate for the rapid acceleration of economic and technological growth as part of a broader process of social change that will ultimately destabilize existing social systems to create radical transformations. Far-right accelerationism calls for its adherents to commit acts of racial violence and terrorism, including attacks on critical infrastructure, to exploit racial divisions and hasten the collapse of Western society, allowing for the formation of white ethnostates run by white supremacists.

To my knowledge, none of these assholes has garnered enough votes to be elected dogcatcher or ever will. Much less win major primaries beating out incumbent congresspeople or been elected mayor of the largest city in the US. I will not waste time denouncing them. That is a GIVEN. The closest one of these types got to real power was one who ran as a democrat in Maine, And your party continued to endorse him even after multiple sexual offence accusations and other major issues up and until the polls showed he couldn't win. And truly, how do you know these entities weren't made up and/or funded by the SPLC? I'm surprised you didn't trot out David Duke again.

Once again SSS, you try and change the subject and ignore the main point I presented to you. (which I graciously spelled out for you).

You still haven't written one word to denounce the communists that are taking over your party. Or is it that you approve? Do you want the US to become a communist country? That is not me saying it. That is the stated goal of many, if not all, the leaders of the DSA who are winning the democrat primaries.

I am gobsmacked. Come on SSS.
He spent a lot of time researching that post. More time than anyone else has given even a thought to any of those groups.
Simply put-It is (or should be) self-evident to anyone that there are FAR more communists and communist sympathizers currently in the country than there are nazi and nazi sympathizers.

Even if SSS scrapes up a few minor examples of the latter from the odd corners of the internet.

The Democratic Socialists had a total membership of about 8,500 in 2016 which grew to over 90,000 by 2020. The membership then shrank to 56,000 in 2024, before growing again to 120,000 today. If you'll notice the dates, they correspond to the two Trump presidencies with shrinkage during Biden's prsidency. Most of the growth in the party, has resulted from a desire to stand up to Trump and a feeling that mainstream Democrats like Schumer and Jeffries weren't doing enough. And by the way, these totals are across the United States, not just in a handful of major cities.

You have a small core of people like the mime in New York with a lot of spare time on their hands who post videos and create website manifestos. The majority of those who have joined are more interested in practical matters like organizing "No Kings" rallies and canvassing for candidates. When people like flock and Spock are asked about Communists, they point to these fringe writings and not to actual platforms of actual candidates. Democratic Socialists who have been elected, as opposed to mimes who post videos, campaign on issues like universal healthcare, raising taxes on billionaires, replacing the Electoral College with a national popular vote and/or abolishing the Senate and expanding the House, cutting defense budgets and reallocating funds for working-class programs and climate measures, free public higher education and expanded childcare and pre-K. Add to that a hearty desire to stand up to Trump and taking advantage of the perceived unwillingness to fight or impotence of establishment Democrats like the ones they are beating in these primaries.

Some of these measures are controversial, many are quite popular, but I wouldn't call any of them Communist. These are the issues that candidates run on and get elected on. Whenever Flock and Spock are asked to point to Communist tendencies, they point to these same handful of homemade videos and statements on obscure websites. The people who get elected to these party offices are the handful who have enough free time and inclination to go to the various conventions. The people who are actually getting things done are the ones who present popular, non-Communist measures to the voters and are willing to stand up to Trump. Republicans are trotting out the Communist meme right now because they have absolutely nothing else to run on. Donald Trump is going to take national network time Thursday to talk to the nation about election fraud in the 2020 election. Not Iran, not affordability or inflation, not ICE violence, not rising healthcare costs and the loss of affordable care for many. Election fraud in 2020. That will make him and Flock happy, but no one else.

While Flock keeps referring to the mime in his basement, I refer to Zohran Mamdani for a simple reason. He's the most visible example of what happens when candidates get elected. It requires practical politics and compromise, something mimes in basements don't have to worry about because they're never going to run for office and anyone who does run for office and mouths the same nonsense will lose.

And there are a lot more neo-Nazi groups out there that don't advertise themselves as publicly as the ones I listed. Many of them are loosely knit networks of small local cells that usually keep a low profile.

SSS>>>"And there are a lot more neo-Nazi groups out there that don't advertise themselves as publicly as the ones I listed. Many of them are loosely knit networks of small local cells that usually keep a low profile."<<<

Now do your internet scrape for communists and communist sympathizers and such and list stuff you find there.

I did a very quick search of "Parades in the US with Hammer and Sickle flags" and a lot came up.

I don't have Facebook but "In Defense of Communism's" Facebook page had stills of multiple Hammer and Sickle flags at the NO Kings protests in NYC a few months ago.

https://www.facebook.com/idcommunism/po ... 1746615110

>>>" Beautiful to see the flag with the hammer and sickle in the heart of the capitalist beast, no matter who raises it. Stills from the massive #NoKings anti-Trump protest in New York City."<<<

And as we all know here-Communism killed far more people in the 20th Century than Naziism did-so there is simply no excuse for flying the Hammer and Sickle. It should be as repulsive to everyone here as the swastika is.

Maybe. I wouldn't know. And I don't know anyone else who does. And I have been actively conservative for half my life. To my knowledge, I have never met one or even seen one of these people. The only people that pay them any attention are people like you. You love them.

Georgia GOP Senate candidate has close ties to White nationalist influencer, his son-in-law

Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins has built a national profile as a combative, Trump-aligned online provocateur — a style that has repeatedly drawn scrutiny over his associations with far-right figures, inflammatory social media posts and accusations of antisemitism, which he has denied. Now, one of the starkest examples of extremism in the Georgia congressman’s orbit appears much closer to home: his son-in-law, David Alan Scheer II, a pro-White nationalist and social media influencer with a track record of sharing antisemitic material and Nazi imagery in comments across the internet. Scheer, who is married to Collins’ daughter, Summer, is featured in family photographs on Collins’ campaign website and social media. He attended Collins’ Senate primary election-night victory party and appears to have helped produce promotional work for Collins’ trucking company. Scheer is registered to vote at a Collins-owned property adjacent to the congressman’s large home in Georgia.

On Instagram, Scheer recently shared multiple posts promoting Patriot Front, the White supremacist hate group that descended on Washington, DC, over July 4th weekend. He has amassed more than 1.5 million followers across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Telegram by posting about fitness, masculinity and Christianity. On those same platforms, Scheer has promoted White nationalist ideology, spread antisemitic conspiracy theories, called for Muslims to be deported and shared an antisemitic infographic targeting Jews that he said his wife (Collins’ daughter) made. On a podcast from last November, Scheer warned that White people were being driven toward extinction and said restoring an America populated by people of White European descent would require “clearing our land of other people.”
The posts and comments are the latest example of a far-right figure in Collins’ orbit as he faces off against Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff in a pivotal race.

Scheer has espoused hateful rhetoric against Jews and Muslims. Just weeks ago, after a monthslong social media hiatus, Scheer asked his followers on Telegram, which he has linked to on other platforms, to vote on a poll on whether he should make a video on “why Gen-Z doesn’t hate Hitler.” He later deleted the poll, but CNN saved the post. In a YouTube video posted in November 2025 to his nearly 350,000 subscribers, Scheer invoked the “Jewish Bolsheviks” conspiracy theory, an antisemitic narrative embraced by Nazi Germany that portrayed communism as a Jewish plot and blamed Jews collectively for Soviet atrocities. “Sixty million Christians that were killed by Jewish Bolsheviks in the early 1900s right before World War II,” Scheer said in the video. “They don’t tell us the history about Germany before World War II. All we’re told is, ‘Germany bad, Hitler evil, don’t ask questions, Holocaust, Holocaust, Holocaust, here’s 50 movies every year about the Holocaust and why it’s so bad.’”

Scheer encouraged viewers to “do some digging” into who writes history textbooks while earlier claiming Jews were responsible for “porn,” “killing JFK,” the 9/11 terror attacks and the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Scheer repeated the unproven claim that Jeffrey Epstein worked for Israel’s intelligence service, Mossad, and blackmailed politicians into supporting an “Israel first” agenda. After a commenter on YouTube noted that his post had a note of “anti-Semitism and white nationalism that is disturbing,” Scheer replied, “There’s nothing wrong with White Nationalism.”

Records suggest Scheer lives on a property owned by Collins and appears to have produced promotional videos for Collins’ trucking company. Scheer has been registered to vote since September 2024 at a house adjacent to Collins’ estate, according to voter and property records. He also appears to have narrated promotional videos for Collins’ trucking company; in one YouTube post filmed in front of trucks, he said he was making videos for a “client.” Videos reviewed by CNN show Scheer in July and November 2024 discussing a move to a new home in a new state, around the same time Georgia property records indicate the new Collins-owned house was built.

Funny how SSS is good with the large amount of Hammer and Sickle flags at the mainstream "No Kings" protests a few months ago.

Everybody seems to forget that for 1/3 of WW2 the Hammer and Sickle was paired with the Swastika to dismember the corpse of eastern Europe and they provided massive amounts of resources and training spaces for the Nazis and only ended that affiliation once they were attacked-but for some reason,SSS is OK with all that.

Funny how Spock is good with neo-Nazis helping to run election campaigns for Republican Senate candidates who have a history of their own white nationalist friendly social media posts in the past.

Funny how the only source for this story happens to be CNN. They don't really have much credibility any more. Am I going to vote for Ossoff because CNN says Collins brother in law is a nazi? What do you think?
This story is only designed for consumption by people like you.
They didn't seem to be too concerned about the guy who was ACTUALLY RUNNING FOR THE US SENATE that has a nazi tattoo.
