"Oh your boss threatening to fire you is 'like communism'"
"I listen to guys who are forced to work on weekends say that it's like communism"
"Is your giant multinational company communist?"
[audience laughs]
"Does your CEO have a portrait of Stalin in his office? Do your kids read Karl Marx in school"
[laughter]
"I mean, really, are we [pause] not living in a capitalist country?"
"People keep pointing out child poverty here and say it's like North Korea. Have you been to the DPRK? Can you really say that the stuff you see daily is going on in the competing social system you know nothing about?"

During the height of the pandemic, I heard a coworker complaining about the mask mandates. She said (to a security guard, no less);
"You know what they're doing? They're trying to take away our human rights! Like they do in Russia! Or wherever it is The Communists are these days."
She was our union steward.
I’m a contractor, but I worked heavily with a Union Steward at my last place (unrelated to union affairs) and she was heavy into Q-anon stuff. Adrenochrome and the whole 9 yards, all day was just constant commentary from her various telegram groups. She retired during the covid layoffs, the whole warehouse breathed a sigh of relief.
