It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.

EDIT: Specifically, this deranged papist anticommunist tract from 1961.

Love that he says "I own this home" to his wife instead of "we own it" lol
I guess that would be communism
Well spotted. The economic dependence of the patriarchal family is well shown.
It got a trove of fun quips that hit capitalism more than communism. It is all projection.
Of course most parents in capitalism working have trouble seeing their kids, too. With the added benefit of not having enough money for them to go to school properly. However the comic panel is even more fitting for UK boarding schools:

Hopefully they don't mix up the letters and showed the kids the FBI letter pressuring MLK into suicide.
I agree with the FBI though: Learn all you can about communism!
Among the bourgeois in some places, kids go to boarding schools and only come home to see their family on the weekends. When I worked at a Taiwanese cram school, I knew a lot high school kids like this.
One of my grandmas was sent into foster care for a considerable length of time because her mother just couldn't cope with the child raising and apparently you could just do that in the 40s?
woke renter idpol is a distraction! /s
only good cop I've ever heard of (or one close to doing good).
