    The Red Scare never ended, it’s important to directly combat anti-socialist sentiment because you are going to be labeled a Communist even if you call yourself a mild progressive.

      Or rebrand socialism and push it in a more efficient way.

                I really don’t know what’s prompting you to go ballistic like this, you might want to log off for a bit.

                    I really don’t think you’re fine if you’re flying off the handle on random internet users accusing them of being paid by the CPC just for being Marxists. I think you should probably take a step back from the keyboard for a while.

                    It’s funny that you preface your civility on me immediately licking your boot before we can discuss anything. Any such conversation would be worthless to begin with if you can’t come at it on polite terms from the start.

                    Furthermore, this conversation was never about China to begin with, the idea that I was going to pivot to exalting China is just conspiracy theory material.

          No. MAGA Communism and Patriotic Socialists already exist, and have far more in common with the Nazis due to taking a Nationalist stance in an Imperialist country.
