Most Americans believe communism means when things are bad or evil and nothing really further than that
Communism is when
(1) you are watched all the time
(2) police officers are militarized
(3) the prisons are packed
(4) you are bombarded with propaganda
(5) the food is bad for you and the production process is disgusting
(6) everyone is dehumanized by mandatory labor and social alienation
(7) the government does not care about you and lets wave after wave of disease rock the population
Edit: forgot one
(8) all popular political participation is mere theatrics to distract the citizens from the obvious fact that all power lies with the elites
