ORIGINAL: BoscoX Anyone feel like acting surprised? BuzzFeed Editor: ‘All I Want For Christmas Is Full Communism Now’ [image]https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Screen-Shot-2017-12-18-at-9.26.16-AM.png[/image] A science editor at BuzzFeed UK raised a few eyebrows last week after some curious remarks about Communism. “All I want for Christmas is full Communism now,” editor Kelly Oakes tweeted — before locking down her account after it was picked by right-wing media and the always ferocious James Woods. ... A spokesperson for BuzzFeed declined to comment on the matter. Oakes, who does not report to the website’s U.S.-based science desk, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Critics pointed out that Communism as practiced by the Soviet Union, China and North Korea has led to the deaths of over 100 million people, according to the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. In November, BuzzFeed reporter Blake Montgomery blasted a White House proclamation memorializing victims of Communism and tweeted out his belief that the term “victims of Communism” was just dog whistle and a “white nationalist talking point.” The tweet was swiftly deleted and Montgomery apologized. MORE People are fed up, they want CHANGE. BIG changes, not little changes. I don't think Communism is the answer, but many people would consider it over the current system. Many are sick and tired and fed up with, greedy, soulless corporate bastards and unbridled capitalism.
