      The overton window is pushed so far right in the imperial fascist core that someone who wants to drop 5 less bombs on gaza is a diehard communist.

        Reactionaries have literally assassinated/tried to assassinate elected officials and their families because they thought they were commie spies lmao.

        Pelosi is such a fucking coward. Someone tried to kill your spouse on behalf of your political opponent and your response was to maintain decorum? Anyone with a spine would have gone scorched earth if that happened to them. If someone made a swipe at Melania Trump, Teflon Don would have personally carried out that person's execution (even if he doesn't actually give a shit about her and they're only together because divorce is too expensive).

          If the past 8 years have proven nothing else, it's that the only thing Democrats consider sacred is decorum

          the melt-brained old people who still think that Russia is communist, more than THREE DECADES AFTER the illegal dissolution of the Soviet Union, those people send me into a rage. like, you spent a decade celebrating the end of history how can you not remember this?!?

            My mom is this way. She thinks Putin and Russia are still communist.

            It's so frustrating because Putin was OUR guy. We put him there to act as a United States puppet. IIRC Gary Kasparov had more popularity than Putin back in the mid 90s. But since Kasparov believed in the communist party, he didn't get any support from the west. Despite (you know) being a total fucking lib. Fast forward to today and you have NATO falling over themselves for Navalny.

            And I don't even remember the Berlin wall coming down, despite being alive for it (I was just a toddler). How these fucking boomers that were like 40 at the time don't remember anything is concerning.

            Throwback to when Russia first invaded and my friend's dad said something about "Soviet tanks" and I reflectively said "I fucking wish they were Soviet tanks" and got a weird look from the two of them

              In fairness to the brainworms I imagine a lot of the tanks and weapons being used on both sides were from the soviet era.

      It’s particularly funny when liberals get mad at communists for this mislabel. They say fascism was a reaction to communism, which it partially is, but refuse to acknowledge what communism was a reaction to and fixing those issues in the first place.

      They wouldn’t recognize an actual communist and agree with all of their positions as long as you didn’t call it communism.

        They control the media though, can't win the class war by changing the language because just as much as they can make people afraid of the word communism (for fucks sake it means etymologically to live in communion together) they can make people afraid of any word. Don't let the right change our language.

        Disagree on that, becoming a Communist requires untangling the Bootstrap narrative and the myth of meritocracy. One can logically be led to Communism, but without debunking the ideological aspects of liberalism the conclusion doesn't connect.

      I don't think the average American would even be able to quantify an actual communist politician. The political metric of the average person in response to politicians is idiosyncratic and largely determined by stuff on TV.

      Americans don't care about policy or if it actually gets implemented. They care about what the TV shows and they get mad if they see a black person. That's it. A communist would only register to them as a Democrat or a Republican depending on which one they hate the most.

      I've been a self identified communist for over 20 years and the usual response is either confusion, vague curiosity, or they identify me as liberal and/or conservative based on which Facebook memes they just saw.
