i cannot believe how many decades a single word has had a chokehold on this country with zero sense of political nuance

Yup. Decades of Cold War propaganda, an incompetent news media, and a binary, two-party duopoly that positions itself as “the right” versus “the left” have all worked together on this one.

The Russian Revolution freaked the capitalists out and they’ve done everything they could for nearly a century to demonize the concept of solidarity

And I still continually find people on the internet calling Russia communist. It’s enough to make a communist scream.

Nah, it never ended. It just became multipolar and (usually) less obvious.

Ok, sure. But the whole red scare was specifically about the bipolar part with focus on the Soviet Union

Nuance doesn’t even enter the conversation when it comes to communism. Republicans tell lies based on their voters inability to understand the basic definition of communism.

If communism/socialism mean the less fortunate get help, Jesus Chris is a communist then.

Yes but they don’t like that version of Jesus. Or when you point out things they don’t like from the Bible

They’ve been screaming about socialism and communism for over 20 years now. The next wave of voters has become numb to this bullshit talking point.

It’s kind of how in the past they were screaming that gays are going to kill marriages for 20 years, then people finally saw through their bullshit so now they are attacking trans people.

Republican talking points are always fear mongering and lies. My entire life they have NEVER provided a solution to anything. It’s constant hysteria and then reactionary bullshit like the patriot act and Iraq war that has made things infinitely worse.

Republicans want to seem tough, but they are some of the most scared, biggest bitches you’ll ever meet. They are literarily afraid of bathrooms…

The problem they have is that communism was a real enemy of the US with examples of autocratic governments worldwide that were well known and scary to people.

However, now that everyone can Google “what is communism” and “what is socialism” only the most incurious morons fall for the “that’s socialism!” lines of attack. Everyone else simply laughs about it.

It really doesn’t help that Republicans are openly talking about how they want to setup and autocracy/monarchy which is exactly the scary part of former/current communist states. Nor does it help that whenever Republicans are labeling something communist, it’s loved social programs such as libraries, social security, or Medicare.

Even if you’re not a communist, socialist, left leaning American, what the right and capitalism offer isn’t somehow better.
