      It's not turning people left that I'm interested in, it's diluting the negative feelings people have to the word "communism" that interests me.

      If the right starts using the word communism in a way that is completely divorced from what communism actually is but has the effect of making a bunch of the right no longer so hard to discuss the topic with then there is a positive to take from this.

          I see what you mean now yeah. What I'm getting at is if they succeed in larping this into right wing use. Dark Biden style.

              The other danger with this is that they end up conflating fascism and communism in the eyes of liberals that ends up making it functionally harder to turn left-leaning liberals if they've been burned by hearing about these chucklefucks first.

              The anti-tankie ""anarchists"" who spend all their time punching left aren't helping by going around and telling people that these people are real communists and represent what tankies are. I say that not with sectarianism in mind but because I don't really consider that crowd actually anarchist, not because I have an issue with anarchists.
