Yeah, the whole "everything I don't like is communism" spiel has definitely hit the streets in the rural south. If you're not a Trump supporting MAGA Republican, you are a communist and/or you support communists. The DSA? They're the most communist Communists to ever commune.

After being called a communist in a discussion about the DSA, which I'm not even a part of by the way, I asked the accuser if they knew the difference between socialism and communism. Their response, NOTHING it's all the same thing.

Government run healthcare is communism. Defunding / abolishing ICE is communism.

But Trump administration's efforts to nationalize private companies/industry like Intel and US Steel? That's definitely not communism, it's totally different when Trump does it.
