I can't get in to how or why I saw this, but I just read a piece from a 10th grader explaining that in the American Revolutionary War, we fought the British because they were trying to make us communists.

    I liked that video, thanks!

    Dare I ask the reasons given why the British empire was communist? I don't know why I'm hurting myself like this, but it's such a bonkers take that I have to say I'm curious.

      Probably because they were "the bad guys" since functionally to Americans, communism and socialism just means "thing I dont like".
