Communism is just a red herring.

Can somebody tell me who's advocating for communism? I see all this anti-commie stuff lately but...where are the commies?
The red menace is everywhere! Honestly you'll see a post from time to time that semi promote it, but most people are smarter than that.
Weird.
They're not omnipresent or anything, but Marxist-Leninist rhetoric is pretty common on the left to varying degrees.
Sure. I don't think the vast majority are actually communists in theory or practice, though. Some socialized services is one thing...
That's democratic socialism. Even those people seem a little off the deep end, like Bernie Sanders praising bread lines and Fidel Castro.
Eh. You're lacking context for those remarks. He was more opposed to US imperialism and proxy war than pro Castro/bread lines.
(1/2) He was very apologist towards Castro, and emphasized the good way over the bad. And with the bread line thing he's tacitly praising
The US was up to all sorts of atrocious shit via proxy guerrilla groups in central/south America at that point. Death squads for all!
I'm not doubting that. U.S. interventionism has been an utter clusterfuck since Korea at least.
