Is Her Father A Communist?


Someone told me her dad was a die hard Marxist.

Anyone know anything about this?

I'm trusting you to provide me with honest Snoples-level links.

reply

Yes. And she is a California socialist

reply

I agree that she is but we should elect her anyways because it’s time for a non white woman to be president.

reply

Smart people like myself don't pander to identity politics

reply

Kamala represents the struggles that African Americans and Women have had to endure for the past 2000 years. Electing her is vital because if we don't then it will only further prove the horrors of systemic racism and sexism.

reply

The horrors would come if she got elected

reply

We survived Putin & Pence from Jan '17 through Jan '21. We will be okay.

reply

You mean Trump and Pence, which gave us no world wars and little inflation unlike today

reply

No, I mean Putin/Pence.

I agree that she is but we should elect her anyways because it’s time for a non white woman to be president.



A white woman should get to be president before a woman of color.

tell us you're an absolute moron without saying you're an absolute moron

reply

Where else would she have learned it from?

reply

Well, she could have grown up watching The Smurfs : P

reply

Strongman Papa proudly donned his red fatigues as any true dear leader would. Not like all those other shrinking violet dictators who only wore drab gray uniforms.

reply

I remember the first time I used google... was when my friend asked me to look up 'The Smurfs'/communism 'essay' online. At the time, I didn't even know how to spell "google".

Good times.

reply

Yes and if elected President of the U.S, America as we once knew it is finished

reply

Looking at her record, she's no communist but she'll help destroy the ideal of the country.

reply

That more likely Trump will do. Anyway, speak you in 4 years again.

reply

The USA cannot survive four years of Dementia Donnie.

*Teflon Don

reply

Don The Con. AKA Dementia Donnie.

reply

But I speak you now. We talk on internet about things.

reply

What about her support of blm? THey are a marxist organization, and she supports them.

reply

You're not playing the game xergan started.

Now re-phrase your question as if a foreign language bot were speaking.

(Although you do get points for improper capitalization.)

reply

LOL, BLM and the Black Panthers being called Marxist organizations is a stretch! If you think any group other than perhaps the Communist Party of the USA is genuinely Marxist, you might not fully understand what Marxism actually entails and are just echoing others. For a clearer understanding, check out this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism

Also, Antifa isn't Marxist; they lean more towards leftist anarchism. While some may fear BLM, those who worry about Antifa being a serious threat are likely losing touch with reality. The impact of Antifa is quite limited and easily containable by the police.

reply

The 400 riots during the Trump years say otherwise, not to mention the dozens killed or the whole communities devestaged.

For the next couple of decades, when blacks whine about "food deserts" or lack of jobs in their communities, remember the "mostly peaceful" riots that drove businesses out of black areas.


And they are marxist. Both of them. YOur denial is your form of support.


reply

Are you saying that riots automatically mean they're Marxist or Communist?

It's true that some BLM protests escalated into riots, which is unfortunate. However, these incidents don't compare to the scale of the riots in the 1960s or after the Rodney King incident in the 1990s. Simplifying these situations by saying they happened 'for nothing' overlooks the underlying issues. If we use such simplifications, we could just as easily apply them to debates around the Second Amendment. How about that?

reply

1. You made a number of points. Do you really think that my comment about 400 riots was directed to the point of marxism, or does it make more sense that it was to the point "easily containable by police"? I think that you pretended to be confused so that you could push a strawman point. A small one. That was shit talk on your part.

2. They are marxist organizations based on their stated demands and the far, far left members and behavior we see from them.

3. Do you denounce marxism and all marxists?

reply

Was said about Clinton, Obama, Biden, now Harris. Never happened. Right wing bullshit scare tactics.

Signed, million man.

reply

No, her father is an econonomist.

Kamala Harris's father, Donald J. Harris, is a Stanford University professor of economics (emeritus) who arrived in the United States from Jamaica in 1961, for graduate study at UC Berkeley, and received a PhD in economics in 1966.

reply

Why does the Economist describe him as "Marxist economist"?

reply

To the Economist everyone to the Left of the extremist Right-wing economists are Marxist. Even so, I don't think you have a clue as to what Marxist economics is.
There's nothing wrong with looking at economics through the lens of class-struggle, it is only fascists who complain about the people recognizing them as fascists.

reply

Why are people so worried about her father being labelled a Marxist?

reply

No idea, ask "people".

reply

You're people, I'm asking you.

Is there a problem if her father is a communist?

reply

Still waiting.

reply

I have no idea, and who cares if he is? Last time I checked humans are not the same as their parents, they are automonous beings!

reply

The question is why is there an attempt to downplay it or ignore it?

Last time I checked, Marxism was not hereditary.

Ask ChatGPT about it and see what you get it. It's clearly loaded a certain way.
