‘All I Want For Christmas Is Full Communism Now’

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

So said this Buzzfeed contributor. Someone help me out, is Buzzfeed the go-to place for "news" for far-left millenials?

And a small quibble, if you want full communism, then you don't want Christmas (or any religious holiday) at all. Perhaps the title should be: "all I want for my government provided winter holiday is full communism now."

And did you know that being against communism is just a "white nationalist" talking point? You learn something new (and useless) everyday from these libtards.

BuzzFeed Editor: ‘All I Want For Christmas Is Full Communism Now’

A science editor at BuzzFeed UK raised a few eyebrows last week after some curious remarks about Communism.

“All I want for Christmas is full Communism now,” editor Kelly Oakes tweeted — before locking down her account after it was picked by right-wing media and the always ferocious James Woods.

The screenshots tell the story.
A spokesperson for BuzzFeed declined to comment on the matter. Oakes, who does not report to the website’s U.S.-based science desk, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Critics pointed out that Communism as practiced by the Soviet Union, China and North Korea has led to the deaths of over 100 million people, according to the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

It’s not the first time BuzzFeed has gotten into hot water over their editorial staff tweeting their open sympathy toward Communism.

In November, BuzzFeed reporter Blake Montgomery blasted a White House proclamation memorializing victims of Communism and tweeted out his belief that the term “victims of Communism” was just dog whistle and a “white nationalist talking point.”

The tweet was swiftly deleted and Montgomery apologized.
“I didn’t mean in any way to diminish the many real victims of communism, and my tweet was a bad misintrepretation [sic] of the president’s declaration. I’ve deleted it,” he wrote. “I cover white nationalists, and they use that language a lot, which is why I made that very dumb mistake.”

Except she's too ignorant to understand what she asks for. Science editor my ass. More like, f'd her way into a job she is wholly unprepared for.

Yep. Anyone that has lived in America or western Europe for any period of time does not truly want communism. They wouldn't last 5 minutes in that scenario. What they really want is to work 2 days a week at an art gallery, yet have their food, medical and transportation bills taken care of by the government. And oh, no rich white people of course.- Problem is that nothing of good quality is "free"- young idiots do not realize this.

Rich white liberals seems to hate rich white people. But you never see them give all of their own money away. So either they are extremely self loathing, or extreme hypocrites. Probably both.

No, they just recognize that their wealth insulates them from the Utopian ideals that they want for the rest of the world.
