Comparing people to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels is actually a great compliment. It's not their fault that Joseph Stalin abused their ideas for his own gain.

Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol-Pot, Castro, Enver Hoxha, Tito.

The ideas of Marx and Engels were fairy tales.

Perhaps they were but their intentions were pure, and you appear to imply the squad women are evil, but then you should depict actually bad people, and not good people whose ideas were merely abused for the worst.
I would also not accuse Jesus Christ himself for the people killed during the crusades, as that would be the same thing.

Marx and Engels wrote fairy tales. I live I. The US and I am more affected by the goons in the picture than you are.

I am actually more affected by your stupidity. It's not that Marx and Engels wrote fairy tales. They wrote a philosophy, that didn't work out due to abuse, and that wouldn't be the first time in history this happens and that the philosophy gets the blame. And these ladies are not "goons". You simply disagree with it, but face it, you live in a democracy, a free nation. And that means these ladies are as much entitled to their opinions as you are, and apparently you are not able to understand this fundamental fact about freedom. If you take pride in living in the U.S., the nation that brags all over the world to be the most free nation in the world, then you should accept the freedom of these ladies and not brand them goons, simply because you don't like their opinion. That is how democracy works. If you take pride in your own freedom, you should accept that it's not right to take away theirs.

First off, we are not a democracy, we are a federal republic. Secondly, I have every right to my own opinion as well, and last of all, of these loons were to get their way our freedom would be toast anyway. They are idiots with power, and they are only three people who are trying to be dictators over America. They support lawbreakers as well. You lose.

"We are not a democracy"
If that is the case then I would cut myself off the internet if I were you, because if that was true, somebody could now be tapping off what you said and take a look if they can arrest your for that.

Being a federal republic says nothing about being a democracy or not. The USSR was also a federal republic, just like the USA, and it was a dictatorship, while the USA is a democracy. If it wasn't then Trump would not have been elected president by the people, since that is a democratic process. You would also not be able to vote for the congress. And when it comes to your local politics, you would be able to vote for that either. The fact that there are presidential elections next year shows you live in a democracy. Elections are one of the core fundamentals of a democracy. And it's democracy that allows you to disagree with these ladies. So I lose while you don't even acknowledge the USA as a democracy?

And speaking in the defense of law breakers is not supporting them, or even against the law. If it was, then lawyers couldn't even do their job without being criminals themselves.

You know nothing, Jon Snow!

Funny, according to those four idiots you demand that I respect, the President supports lawbreakers.

Democracy is mob rule. America is not a democracy.

Look, I am not going to discuss this one with you. You are not an American and you have no right to tell me what I should or shouldn’t say in regards to the four bonetops in the picture. F**k their commie asses and f**k Marx and Engels. I mean every word of that one and if you don’t like it then you can kiss my American ass.

I have every right to tell you what I think I should tell you, and it's clear you don't even know the fundamentals of your own country. Hey I'm not saying democracy is the best system in the world, it has many many flaws, but fact remains that America is ruled by those who have the vote of the people, and that is, what makes it a democracy.... You do know what democracy is?

"Demo" means people in Greek and "kratein" means rule... In other word's "people's rule". "Democracy" is the English version of that word coming from that. And me, living in a democracy too are also entitled to my opinions and to express those... Come on... You're talking nonsense, as a matter of fact, I've been a little bit of research and found this about Miss Liberty in New York: "The Statue of Liberty in New York City, dedicated in 1886, is a symbol of the United States as well as its ideals of freedom, democracy, and justice."

Yes the United States *IS* a democracy and you won't fool me by stating it isn't. And it's not about what I like. Either you are lying or you don't know anything you're talking about. I read articles from U.S. journalists being shocked that Europeans knew more about the U.S. than the U.S. civilians themselves, well, you are currently proving that to me.

I don't have to kiss your American ass. I'll save that for the special person I wanna get old with together. I just wanted to expose you for a moron, and my mission is accomplished...

(An American who takes pride in NOT having democracy... Man, that is the best joke I've heard since I was born).

Let me enlighten you. The House of Representatives is chosen on a district basis. AOC represents a district in NY, Tlaib from a district in Michigan, Pressley from a district in Massachusetts, and Omar in Minnesota. My district elected a conservative Republican to represent us in Congress. My state has two conservative Republicans in the Senate, a conservative Republican Governor, a conservative Republican State House. Those four communist bitches do not represent me. Nationwide even, those four have low favorability ratings. We can argue about the US being a democracy, we will not argue about those clowns. They in no way represent me.
0 ups, 5y
Didn't you think I already KNEW that? I know how the district basis the U.S. works with, especially since the system in the U.K. is often said to be similar to that. The U.S. is an important part of geography lessons here, you know. Not to mention that the political news from the U.S. is in the news here more than any other country, sometimes even more than our own.
But fact remains that the winner of the people's votes decides who goes to the congress to represent the people, hence the name "House of Representatives". All members do represent all U.S. civilians in the end, which includes you. You may not feel represented by them, due to them being members of the Democrat party which you clearly don't support, but in a democracy you are allowed this disagreement. You cannot agree with everybody. My personal opinion about these ladies is irrelevant. My point is that you made some errors in your statements about the communists, and that you denied that what the U.S.A. takes most pride in as a nation to be.

Now it may be hard to imagine for a country where you only have two federal parties that really matter, and that they consider each other as enemies, with a lot of polarization coming with that, but in the end, politics is not that black-white and everything needs to be taken with moderation. In the end the Democrats need the Republicans and vice versa, and you will have to accept that these ladies too came to the congress by the means of democratic rules, just like the Republican representatives. In a democracy you will have to accept the votes of others as much as you have to accept your own. That can be hard, that can be frustrating, that can anger you. All fine. But in the end you'll have to know what these ladies stand for, and what their ideals truly are before you can really criticize them, and when you compare them to the communists, you do also need to know what drove the communists, and what drove Marx and Engels (who would definitely have disapproved of what Stalin stood for, trust me). But like it or not, you do live in a democracy... The U.S. has always been proud of that, and denying it just because it brought forth the squad, that's not how things work. And they criticized Trump and you hate that, but criticizing the administration is the work of the congress, which includes the president himself.

Those four idiots don’t rule me. They are four members of congress with one vote a piece. We are not a democracy and what I say goes. I have every right to criticize those four communist idiots and I am going to continue to work to defeat them.
0 ups, 5y
You didn't criticize them... You merely tried to insult them, and perhaps I need to teach you the fundamentals of communism before you deem those guys "idiots". As it's all more nuanced.... And "what I say goes" is something that would mark you a tyrant.... And don't you realize that by keeping to repeat to me a FOREIGNER that the U.S. is not a democracy you are insulting your own nation? Really if I'd screenshot this and send it to the white house, I think Trump (whom you appear to like) will be VERY VERY ANGRY with you. The U.S. even takes pride in being one of the oldest modern democracies in the world, so you denying that insulting that what is the core fundamental of what the U.S. takes pride in for being a free nation. And those four idiots do represent you too in a way. They were chosen by the people, which includes you (that is what democracy does).

The fact that you don't even know what "democracy" is, and the core fundamentals of the U.S. makes me even wonder if you are qualified to speak of these ladies and the communists, as what you know about them is most likely even less. But really a proud American insulting his own nation.... I've seen many many things since I am on the internet. but this really beats all I've ever seen!

No, they represent their districts. They are boneheaded idiots who in no way represent me. These same idiots tried to shut me down when I criticized their Obama, so I don’t give a damn. They are also breaking the rules by pushing open borders and crap on us. AOC even claimed herself to be the boss. No, these four women are not the boss. There are two components of congress. There is more to our government than these four women and when four women try to dictate and be the boss to everyone else that is not a democracy as you deem. Whatever news you get in the U.K. is irrelevant. They don’t tell the whole story. You folks still refuse to accept that America chose to become independent from you. Your queen no longer rules us. Your parliament no longer rules us. Worry about Britain. We will worry about the US. Butt out.

I don't live in the U.K.... I don't live to far from it though. :P (I didn't even say I was from there, so don't make any assumptions. Now I get why you have such poor understanding of your own system).
And when you critics about Obama are of the same level, well... yeah..

Now let's get a few things straight about the U.S. and what Washington had in mind. A UNION.... *UNITED* States... Not all states acting for themselves. The House of Representatives is sworn to represent the U.S. as a UNION and not the state they came from as an independent state. Yes, I know that the U.S. is not really a country by itself, but rather a union of 50 independent states (hence the name United STATES) which have a high level of sovereignty, able to act as nations on their own, with the District Columbia, as the 'neutral zone' to prevent conflicts of interest between the Federation and the States. And I do know that each state send their own representatives and senators... I'm a fantasy novel writer, and I did study the U.S. and the E.U. to base one of the realms on in which my stories take place, so I went pretty far in sorting that all out.

You may wonder if the district system the U.S. works with is the best system and completely in line with democratic values. I too think it's not. Then again I live in the Netherlands myself where the votes of the entire country determine the members of the 2nd chamber which is the Dutch version of the House of Representatives, and that too has its downsides, trust me. The perfect democracy cannot exist, but some people told me Hillary Clinton had more votes than Trump, but that the electorate system rule Trump out as the winner, so don't whine, as we can them already rule out Trump is the true president. The U.S. system is far from perfect when it comes to democracy, but yet it *is* a democracy. If you had the Dutch system where seats are really only based on the number of votes and not on states or districts, these ladies might also have made their way into the congress. Face it, in a democracy you cannot always get what you want. That is how democracy works. It's for a reason why we call it "the dictatorship of the majority". Still the alternative is an totality dictatorship. Is that what you live in or what you want the U.S. to be? I doubt it.
