WHERE are they pretending to get this information from? you can't just unquestionably shout unsourced shit with the justification 'idk lol vibes' and expect anyone to listen to you

This is what is taught in schools across America in middle school social studies. This is just the common sense of this shithole, and nobody questions the ideology they swim within

They are completely politically illiterate, none of them knows what any of these words mean. It's like watching children pretending they're grown-ups.

Yeah, the liberal audience already agrees so they won't stop to ask for sources. Communism = authoritarian by default.

In contrast, most communists have had their worldview shaken to the core. This lends itself to healthy skepticism about political/economic beliefs such that new beliefs require more justification. Which doesn't make all our political/economic beliefs correct--we don't all agree, after all--but we will at least point to some historical or theoretical evidence to back up our views.

Time; Hampton Roads Naval Museum.

It's not a useful source declaration but more then I'm used to from liberal media.
