In English when you use this expression?

Question

for example:

I am down with communism?
I am down with tyrani

Those quotations mean approval or disapproval ....

Answer 1

If you say "I am down with" it means you approve.

If you say only "down with" something, without saying "I am," it means you disapprove, i.e. "Down with tyranny!"

Answer 2

This is not the appropriate phrasing. If these statements are meant to express disapproval, they should expressed as follows:

I am down on communism. I am down on tyranny. . . . or
Down with communism. Down with tyranny.

Answer 3

They mean disapproval... it is like a thumbs down

Answer 4

(1) If you are using modern street slang, if you say you are "down with your Brothers" or "down with hip-hop" means you are cool or okay with them/it, so you like them. You think they are cool.

(2) If you are at a feminist protest and shout "Down with Pants!" "Up with Skirts!" that means you are "against men" and you "support women" instead. But at least you have a sense of humor about whatever you are protesting.

Answer 5

They mean approval.
"I'm down with communism" means that you're ok with communism.

Answer 6
