“America was founded on the principles of capitalism.”
True. One statement, one truth.
“But there are those who think communism is the solution for every problem, from bad weather to old Joe’s dementia.”
Second statement, first lie. There is no significant quantity of people here in America - and who else could you be talking to, really? - who think the US should be a communist country.
“In their book, In Their Own Words, Terry Turchie and Donagh Bracken document that organizations such as the Weather Underground, the Black Panther Party, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and The Democratic Socialists of American have been agitating for communism for decades.”
Third statement, second lie. BLM hasn’t even been AROUND for decades, and I guarantee you that if we were to eliminate racism they would fold up and go home smiling. They have no brief for communism. I knew a girl, back when OWS was a thing, who LOVED the movement - but she didn’t have one word to say about what they wanted or who thought so. I mean, that was why the movement folded, no one knew what they wanted; but they were not communists.
“We’ve even got one senator who spent his honeymoon in the Soviet Union and a whole squad of congresswomen who openly support it now.”
Fourth statement, who knows whether it’s true or not. It’s been a while since the Soviet Union was a thing, and what is it that this supposed “squad” of congresswomen actually are unified on supporting? Who knows. Wikipedia says the “Squad” “has been said to represent ... diversity ... and ... progressive policies” but that ain’t communism. Unverifiable.
“They don’t use the word “communism” very often, but their manifestos and stated goals are 100 percent aligned with that ideology.”
Fifth statement, third lie. “aligned with that ideology” is your key - these are weasel words that mean nothing. Political bearbaiting, nothing else.
“Instead, they use seductive terms like “social justice,” “guaranteed income,” and “equality.””
True. Six statements, three lies: man, you’re getting your news from the WRONG PLACES.
You know, I posted on gas prices recently, and I swear, 50% of the respondents - I didn’t count, I suppose that’s a lie - seemed to think high gas prices prove socialism is bad. I did a little reading and discovered that the price of a gallon of gasoline in Venezuela - surely more socialist than us - is 8 cents. Don’t judge a system by its gas prices, please. I sure don’t.

As a weasel watcher myself,,,,
,., big red flag over that one.
Those groups ARE aligned and ARE communistic.
Straight forward statement of obvious fact , not weasel as you claim.
You are a new breed of weasel I haven’t seen before.
Portraying only 30 % weasel under 70% non weasel camafloge.
I might be wrong, but I doubt it.
Imho.
Founders of BLM have explicitly stated that they are ‘trained Marxists’ and want to “dismantle the organizing principle’ of our society. Before they found themselves so much in the news and on the way to riches, their website clearly stated that they wanted to see the end of the nuclear family, along with a host of other anti-American goals.
