    It's literally the same approach the Nazis had in utilizing the word socialist. I can't find it now, but Hitler even admitted they were never socialist and it was purely for political purposes. That the word "socialist" or in this case "communist" was chose because it would bring over people with leftist sympathies. That in the case of Germany it was a way to ensure the parties success, as socialism was so well established and understood.

      It worked so well that cryptofascists to this day still play the label game to this day, accusing socialists of being nazis by way of "national socialism" word association but then declare they are "classical liberals" or whatever whenever they are confronted with the unpopular labels.

      but reddit-brains will still go "oh come on, it's even in the name" if you try to argue against their horseshoe theory :reddit-logo::brainworms:
