Every now and then someone will try to inject anti-communism into this anti-fascist subreddit. This comment and especially this comment are good places to start pushing back on that.

    My point is, there are lots of countries where the stars and Stripes don’t represent liberty and democracy as much as they represent coked up death squads, napalming rice farmers, deposing democratically elected governments, propping up fascist dictatorships and, more recently, a fleet of mechanised Predator drones knocking off targets on the presidential kill-list. If you opposite the authoritarianism of the hammer and sickle, then surely you’d also oppose the imperialism and brutality of the stars and Stripes?

    This comment is at around +15. I think there are some reachable people there.
