      I remember a poll I saw a few years back where a majority of Americans said something along the lines of “communism and dictatorship are the same thing”, and ever since then the way certain people sling around accusations of communism made a lot more sense to me.

        I mean a lot of “leftists” dont even know what communism is either. Even some self called marxists dont know what marxism is.
