Interesting. I just found it ironic that the literal boot of Communism was being called something else. Its gotta suck when the "people's" boot is the one on your face. We have the same problem in democratic states. "We the people" steal from ourselves. I have literally had people tell me. How can we steal from ourselves. And this is the mental programming that holds it all together.
just ironic how the words like "fascist" and "nazi" are thrown around these days. Most leftists have no idea what they're even talking about.
One of the funniest video I ever saw was a guy on a college campus, literally shouting out quotes from Mein Kampf (as a prank), to the cheer and applause of surrounding college students (who thought he was being serious)

Indeed. But as I posted yesterday. This is not new. Back in the 1990s people like Rush Limbaugh were called these names. So was George W. Bush. Now its Trump and Musk.
I do think it is losing its power though as a boogie man. Just as Alexander the Great is not really known as a demon today. Time has a way of diminishing the effectiveness of boogie men.
The thing that actually concerns me is how clueless people are about socialism and what we would lose if we give up on freedom. I can see a big swing to the left after Trump. A populist left that is basically pro-socialism.

Mamdani for NY Governor will be a bellwether on this subject.

Yeah, he is. I think many misunderstand what is going on. There is an openness to socialism because its never been properly killed as an idea. So its not scaring people. That's not why he's winning. Its because the establishment democrats are not representing their people. Same reason Trump rose to power on the right. The Republican establishment really despised their voters.
