or are they really only just capable of repeating the same tired old buzzwords and talking points?

    They don't have to think or put in any effort, anti-communism is the default opinion in the core. The idea that communists are just as bad as nazis has been drilled into people's minds by everything from big serious pundits to Disney movies. All anti-communists has to do to look like they're right is to go with the flow.

      And this is why the CIA pushed an unbelievable yet nice and round number (100 million) for how many communism "killed". It's so ridiculously high that any action taken against capitalism is justified no matter if millions in Korea, Vietnam, etc are killed... because the gommunists would have killed even more!

          The "Victims of Communism" op counts Nazis killed in WWII and the victims of Covid as "victims of communism". This is ridiculous the moment you scratch the surface.

          And then you have capitalism who gets a free pass every time despite a blood soaked history of colonialism, fascism, warfare and exploitation. PMC's in air conditioned office towers are doing fine, so capitalism can't be a murderous system.
