    Didn’t realize it had gone so far. I’m guessing most people talking about communism this way are American. Where I’m from, liberalism is more centre-right than left.

      that’s true of liberalism in the US as well, it’s just as far left as our Overton Window goes.

      yeah communism is a dirty word here because of the red scare but the youngins are reading Marx and learning it’s pretty based, some people drink the flavor-aide of the authoritarian regimes that claim to be communist (but aren’t) and that’s how tankies came to be.
