It bears mentioning that there are a few things in Communism, at least in the type we are all familiar with, not Marx's version that modern Trump supporters have a striking resemblance to.
So while using examples in the last century, especially that of communist China, here are ethe comparisons I have noticed.
The first and the most obvious is of course Authoritarianism, communists take the power and concentrate it with Government figures to distribute to the good as they deem fit with special emphasis on their Leader.
Next they give strong emphasis on having a single Party system, it is important to note that modern Conservatives LOATH other ideas and seem to be doing their very best to destroy our mostly two party system.
Three, concentration of wealth, while Marx advocated wealth distribution the Communist models which have prevailed have given wealth to the prefered Elite, specifically Communist Party Members themselves. Those people have lived quite well while the common man is for the most part largely forgotten.
Four, the Ideology that the common man should work hard for what he has. This kind of speaks for itself.
Five, the pool of money goes to the top, while this is also a major concept of Facism, the wealth distribution ends up being huge wealth inequality.
Six Heavy subsidies from the common man for the "Party" and it's interests. If we take the current model in China we see big business heavily subsidised.
Seven, now this is where It really hits home, the active disdain for those they deem unworthy in society.
If we look back to the most famous Mao, we can see where he sent people into the fields to fend for themselves resulting in the genocide of Millions. This of course is strong ideology in the modern Conservative Ideology who seemingly would delight in knowing people either survived or perilled with the strongest Emerging.
Party run Media: This is also a given as the Conservatives trip all over themselves for a specific news source straight from their Political Party's mouth, Fox of course being the prefered outlet for the RNC propaganda in AMerica but of course it bears mentioning that Trump has his own Propaganda network as well.
Isolation: Communists are well known for their Isolationist policies with the famed "Iron Curtain' as coined by Churchill being the most famous.
The people do not directly elect their party leader. As with Communism the Right seems to love the Idea of "Representatives" electing their leader.
Disdain for Rights" This is one that is absolutely astounding living in a country where as all people are supposed to have rights, yet it is beyond apparent that only a few are deserving of a fair trial (Republican Party members) for instance the common man seems not to enjoy those rights. It also is noticeable that they would prefer the Police/Military were the judge jury and executioner.
Support for Mandatory Military Service is also a major theme, which makes sense considering the Military is set up in a communist fashion where as the Government even chooses your job for you after taking a test, which also explains why the bulk of the Military vote Conservative.
Pissed? Good, sit down read and learn
