Did I miss the time that Marc Elrich proposed state control of industrial production? Or maybe you never received any actual education regarding the specific characteristics of a communist state and that explains your confusion? |
Clear because you plainly listed the diverse areas of the region when there are plenty of very liberal CC or Bethesda residents as well. The only difference between those specific areas are economic and racial. |
yeah but to be fair, folks living in cc and bethesda don't have to worry about these issues. they are well "protected". so, just raising the issue makes PP a racist? and somehow makes pp a hater of black and brown people?? |
You did miss the part where Elrich invited socialists in from Venezuela for advice. |
That wasn’t the crux of the pp argument. They want all of the listed areas to be under a seperate government so that they don’t have to deal with them. I bet that pp lives in western MoCo too. So under that logic the pp is happy to live alongside white liberals but the brown and poor white people in east county can go away. |
No actually Venezuela never sent anyone to MoCo to give advice. Nice try. All you have is innuendo? Do communists usually keep quiet about their beliefs? He is secretly trying to take over MoCo businesses? BTW inviting a diplomat to visit the county still doesn’t make anyone a communist. Advocating for communist policy is what makes someone a communist. Show me the legislation. |
You really believe your own stupidity, don’t you? |
Stupidity? You’re the one making claims that you can’t back up. The word “communism” has an actual meaning and you can’t demonstrate a single communist policy that Elrich has enacted. You’re just spreading disinformation. |
Keep on trying to spin, clown: https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content...AR2007101102217.html |
I’m the poster who moved from Hyattsville a few posts above this- I can only speak about my experience there, but the most radically progressive people that I encountered were white people, usually with a dozen yard signs advertising their politics |
Elrich has county-alized the means of production! |
Agree with all of this. For the record, it has nothing to do with race (for me, at least - it might for some). I live in Silver Spring, and we have undocumented immigrants living here from all over the world. Not just South/Central America. It has dramatically affected our schools and our communities. I support legal immigration, but I do not support unlimited, unrestricted illegal immigration. There is a big difference, despite what our progressive politicians like to tell us. |
Funny how that link still doesn’t speak to a single communist policy proposal by Elrich. The article is from 2007 and explains how no such meeting ever took place. “Elrich said that local nonprofit groups interested in meeting with Bernardo Alvarez, Venezuela's ambassador in Washington, would still do so, although not with the help of the county. "It needs to take place under a different umbrella so there's no confusion that Montgomery County is taking a position on the Venezuelan government," he said.” And then that quote clearly shows the same Elrich that you accuse of wanting to turn MoCo “communist” is taking extra care to NOT associate the MoCo government with the Venezuelan government. If a 15 year article with no policy proposals and no actual meetings with communists is all you’ve got then it’s probably safe to say that there is no valid evidence of Elrich being a communist. |
Oh really? Care to back that up? Of course not! |
I was joking... |
