    Quite ironic from people constantly accusing their political adversaries to be communists…

      Errr… am I mistaken? This is the first time I’m hearing about nationalizing SpaceX and it’s from Jacobin…

      Does Jacobin make a habit of calling people communists? Pretty sure they advocate for socialist positions usually…

        Jacobin is a late 18th early 19th political spectrum. It is not relevant to this situation.

          Friend, the magazine this article is from is named Jacobin, after that political movement.

          It is a US-based magazine, and it’s not very popular, so it’s understandable that you haven’t heard of it. But it does pay to read the article before commenting.

      Well that’s not really the case. Conservatives will accuse progressive of being communists, and claim any social services are examples of communism. But it’s mostly those progressives here on Lemmy suggesting communist ideas.

      So it’s not really ironic, just unsurprising I guess.
