The gun is a metaphor for, among other things, US backed coups. Sanctions against Cuba are another example.
This is an old meme format where the foreground character shoots the background character, then blames the flaws of the background character on something unrelated to being shot.
It really does, the meme is about how Capitalist countries (namely the US) will sabotage Socialist countries, then use that as proof that “communism doesn’t work”. Such as flattening North Korea in the Korean war, or embargoing Cuba.
If you understand the meme format, it shouldn’t be hard to understand the implication of the meme.
Alright, I can see there’s really no point dealing with you then.
Why doesn’t communism have a gun in the meme? because that’s not the meme. It’s that simple.
I looked at your other interactions in other places on lemmy federation, and I can see this is a pattern with you. You seem to only be open to your own interpretation of a subject, then you seem to try to force people to use your logic in the conversation. That feels ‘bad faith’ to me, so I’m just gonna go ahead and ban you. You don’t seem to actually want to discuss Socialism in good faith.

That doesn’t answer the question.
LOL I know what the meme is.
It answers the question if you’re not stupid
You’re justified, but please don’t call people stupid.
Yeah fair enough then my bad
I disagree.

So capitalist countries harmed other countries and hence in the meme capitalism has a gun. Therefore in the meme, communism should also have a gun.
I asked:
“Why does capitalism have a gun but communism doesn’t?”
That question hasn’t been answered.
