Scientists say 14 billion years there was no space, no time, absolutely nothing.

Then in an instant from a single point the universe came into existence and is still growing in acceleration.

Looks like the only ones getting f*cked by the release of all the Epstein files are the Democrats.

The “Epstein, Epstein, Epstein” hoax is getting hilarious now.

Democrats were going to release the “23,000 documents” in drips and drabs, each with redactions and breathless speculations and smears.

Republicans said fuck that and released them all. 😂😂😂

The Democrats tried to blame Trump for the government shutdown

But now they’re livid at Schumer because Democrats finally voted to reopen the government.

It’s so sad. I’m crying. 😭

So, you’re telling me all it took to end the government shutdown was a few Democrat votes?

Who knew? 🤷‍♂️

The GDR was explicitly a Marxist-Leninist socialist state claiming to be on the path to Communism.
"Critique of the Gotha Programme" (1875): Marx describes the "lower" and "higher" phases of communist society.

Lenin formalized the terminology in "State and Revolution" (1917):

Socialism = lower phase = dictatorship of the proletariat
Communism = higher phase = stateless, classless society

Whether you like it or not, GDR was unambiguously socialist, not communist, and represented socialism as the transition to communism.

Democrats are the only ones denying funding opening the government by refusing to vote for a clean CR, while every Republican has. Whether you like it or not.
The GDR called itself socialist, but was communist. It's like a president calling himself 'big hearted' then refusing to release money for food for 42 million people from a contingency fund set up for that purpose.

All those Nordic countries are Capitalist countries with large social safety nets. Not a Socialist economy to be seen there. They were headed to Socialism up until the 70s when they started running out of money, then came to their senses.

Nordic countries not Socialist, they are capitalist countries with large welfare states, funding welfare by taxing 55% their GDP.
That was not socialism. Look to Sweden, Finland and Denmark for examples of successful Socialism.
November 8, 2025 at 4:43 PM
No, this is East Germany (officially the German Democratic Republic, or GDR, 1949–1990) was was socialist—specifically, a Marxist-Leninist socialist state under the rule of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED).

Marx. Mamdani’s spiritual hero.
So post about socialism. This is a meme about communism incorrectly labeled.
It’s time to start posting memes about socialism.

The pigs become worse than the humans.

And that would be the Socialist Pigs--not Capitalist Pigs.

The former forces you, while the latter gives you a choice.
