That doesn’t even sound like something most right-wingers believe.

This is sort of a negative liberty vs positive liberty situation in some ways.

But anyway, in the left image: The state collected taxes to build subsidies for oil & automobile companies. Later, the state can’t afford to maintain and expand the subsidies to meet demand with taxation alone, so the quality of service degrades significantly - in part due to other outstanding liabilities like a neocolonial empire in support of other capital interests - but mostly because of the sprawl. It therefore has to assume large deficits to finance the maintenance alone, which is unsustainable in the global liberal market where money is real. Nothing is left over to pay for any long term initiatives to improve anything else.

In the right image, the state collected taxes and built (at least in this particular street) sustainable infrastructure that isn’t subjected to the stresses of automobile traffic.

There’s nothing free market about either one, it’s just a difference in priorities for how public money was utilized… To subsidize particular industries (whether the individuals involved in planning/building had any awareness of that or not) or to be sustainable.

Less satirical imo is bullet trains are communist while bikes are individualist (although both are good)

Cars are just brainworms

Under communism everyone has to share a tandem bike. The supreme leader just sits on the back but never helps peddle.

Atleast no one will die because the audi driver wanted to somehow tailgate you and swerve through traffic at the same time

The funny thing is that communism literally just means ‘failed nation’ to these people; when the American economy collapses, it’ll be because America was communist. Reminds me of a guy who called in to a leftist UK broadcaster telling the guy that socialism was the ideology of failure, when questioned on specifically what socialism was the caller just kept repeating that it’s an ideology and it’s the ideology of failure, because most likely he only knows socialism from whatever weird memes or posts he’s been reading.

Socialism is when I feel negative stimuli

When I get angry, that’s communism
