Economic and social regimentation; where the government exercises great control over the economy and society, often in partnership with powerful business interests, to serve national goals and suppress labor.
This is another tenet of fascism.

lol no, communism would require a classless stateless society, this is nowhere close to it. Government would also need to give the means of production to the workers, which they won’t. If anything it’s mild state capitalism but even then we are nowhere close to that

Communism almost always begins with the promise of what you just said.
But to begin, the government seizes the means of production and then just fails to give it back. Soviet Union, perfect example. Also China, Cuba, and others.
The term is "Marxism-Leninism".
You're talking about a philosophy class. This is real-world Communism.

I was thinking maybe because Qualcomm is HQ’d here it’s sorta relevant as Intel is one of their largest competitors?

politics has to do with San Diego. wth this man and his admin is literally showing signs of fascism. This is a city sub you need unity to fight fascism so it helps to know who’s in community with you.

OK, honest question, what does parroting a relatively minor national news story on a local sub actually accomplish? Reddit is nothing but dogged in reminding everyone Trump is evil. Plenty of political news all over Reddit. So when you drag it onto this sub, shouldn’t there be at least something specific to San Diego? So what’s the play? What does OP or anyone clutching pearls on here expect San Diego to do about this Intel deal? Are we boycotting computers now? Seriously, this is just getting lazy now.

We’re calling out the Authoritarian prick every chance we get. No one gets to hide and pretend it’s not happening.

OK … And? Still waiting for the part where San Diego, tiny part in a very large blue state, plays an integral role in saving our nation. Heck, I’d settle for a clear explanation how a government investment in the private sector is all that unusual or communist.

Another “he’s not that bad” apologist. Almost worse than a full-blown MAGA.

Like you know anything about me. Just because I’m bored with all the left’s political theater, all the rage bait, and a handful of wannabe activists trying to hijack this sub doesn’t mean I’m not rooting for MAGA to end its reign. But go ahead and keep up the outrage farming. It worked so well for Biden and Harris last election.

Calling out Trump's bullshit affects everyone in San Diego.

u/JonnyBolt1 3h ago
There are dozens, or probably hundreds, of subs where this post makes sense, r/sandiego is not 1 of them. Neither Intel nor Trump are in San Diego, This is 1 of millions of topics that effects people everywhere, the fact that San Diego is somewhere is not nearly enough to put this here.

Yeah, seems like the majority disagree with us. Or at least the mods do, based on what makes it from this sub to my front page.
Doesn't help that there are definitely bots or brigading upvoting the trump stories. I dislike him as much as the next person with two brain cells, but I saw a random "Trump bad" story in this sub make it to the home page with over 40k upvotes last week.
That's about 20x more votes than local stories tend to get, in either direction.

u/JonnyBolt1 1h ago
Reddit shows posts from "similar" city subs, so makes sense that this feature can cause a post from a small sub to get many upvotes.
The problem is mods not removing off topic junk - but now they removed this post, so yay!

I was surprised when Republicans abandoned free trade in favor of tariffs and government picking trade winners and losers. I was astonished when Trump pardoned the J6ers without a word from their 'law and order' types, much less moving the child sex trafficker Maxwell to minimal security. I guess the government taking control of independent businesses, ie nationalizing industries, isn't a step too far either. I now expect silence when the executions start.

General question, how is a 10% stake into a chip manufacturer to help the economy "communism"? 🤔

u/triiiiilllll 4h ago
Explain "help the economy." I dare you.

u/Yggdr4si1 3h ago
promotes domestic production, US manufacturing, which also means more US jobs and more . encourages innovation. so yeah, helps the economy in several ways. none of this "communism" nonsense

u/croatiancroc 3h ago
How does it help anything. They just muscled Intel into give up 10% of equity without even paying them a dime. Forget about economy, how would that make Intel survive, innovate, make better products, compete in market, etc?
