Like, I fucking wish they were. As a California (and especially a Bay Area) resident, we wouldn’t have to deal with the bullshitery of living under sky-high costs as tech billionaires and landleeches have the privilege to simply walk all over us. Like, California is as much a part of the Capitalist American country as Mississippi… in fact maybe even more so with the presence of Silicon Valley and all the companies stationed over there. Along with this, a communist California would not allow themselves to become such a car-centric hellhole that it is. Yet, no matter how much the Californian government will suck up to lobbyists and billionaires, they will still be called communists for doing the absolute bare minimum for women’s and LGBT+ rights and for having restrictive gun laws (which was actually implemented by none other than their messiah, Ronald Reagan out of the fear of the Black Panthers).
Like, I want to live inside their fantasy of a communist California. It would do away with so much of the bullshitery that I have to deal with living here.
Spot on. I’ve lived in a lot of US states, and none of them was as unequal and awful as the bay area. Absolute neoliberal hellscape with extreme wealth right next to extreme poverty and crushing rents.
You drive through some areas, and it feels like a snow crash corporate fiefdom, google owns this borough, facebook that one, pharma companies this one.
Howdy neighbor lol.
Also yes fuck this place but also communist California would be so rad. Give all the land back to the local tribes and just vibe in one of the most beautiful places on earth eatin fry bread and shit.
I have a weird freak libertarian coworker that unironically calls it commiefornia because gun control lmao. I hate him so much. He’s also of course a transphobic chud POS.
Commie is when gun control and twinks, the more twinks and gun control there is the more commie it is.
The USSR will make a comeback but this time it’ll be run by twinks. That’s how we win!
Yeah, the California weather and nature are a thing of beauty, same as in the rest of America. It’s a shame that such beautiful lands are being ravaged under the United States government.

For real, I was privileged to grow up right near one of the oldest of the old growth forests in the world and it is quite literally a magical place.
The average American conservative loses their mind even attempting to imagine other countries. California is the furthest left place they can conceive of without it being completely alien to them. All other countries to conservatives are hellish Mad Max wastelands or cartoonish totalitarian 1984 style police states.
Describe what life is like for the average Belgian person and American chuds will regard it as hellish dystopia. They think notoriously right-wing Poland is socialist. I’ve described how the transportation network in Japan works to a conservative and he was quick to describe it all as communism, even though all the rail networks are private. The only life worth living that an American chud can conceive in their peanut brains is a white suburb in Scottsdale, Arizona where you drive a lifted F150. The truck is never used to haul anything. And while you do live in your house, the main use is waiting until you pay off the mortgage so you can rent it or sell it. That’s the entire point of life for these people. How easy is it to become a landlord or a used car lot dealer. Any country that restricts those two things, or has a different sort of market, is indistinguishable from total hell. Freedom is: car, suburb, landlording, white neighborhood, ornamental firearms, and a domestic housewife.
They are working with the “everything I don’t like is Communism” definition of communist.
It is very rare that any US liberal has a real understanding of what communism actually is. The enduring legacy of the red scare has ensured that they know it is “bad”, and that is all they need to know. Accusing a USian of being a communist is the fastest way to guarantee they sprint right as fast as they possibly can; better for them to be labelled a fascist than a communist.
Believe me, I too wish there was anywhere in the US that was any real flavour of socialist.
They don’t know what communism is and they don’t care to know. They’ll powerfully reject even reading the shortest of books to get educated.
