It never stopped the anticommunist shit. Communism and socialism are becoming more popular because, to put it in terms even a journalist can understand, people's standard of living is decreasing and their lives are getting worse so they don't see why they should support the status quo if it doesn't work for them. Interest in the far right is growing too, though of course the Washington Post is behind giving them surface to air missiles and small arms.
also it keeps being used as a put down for popular things which obviously is going to create positive associations. The good aspect of just want healthcare libs who identify as socialists is that there are a lot of them and they make the word less scary
Yup. Decade after decade of american pundits rabidly screaming that the slightest concession to the working classes is communism has lead to an awful lot of people wondering whether if all this good stuff is communism then maybe communism is good.
