I’m 40+. Lived in 2 countries, Southern California, Northern California. Visited all the major cities on the West Coast, did a road trip through Nevada, NYC, Miami, Denver, Boulder. I talk politics pretty much with everyone.

I haven’t met a single communist in my life. These delusions people have truly scare me.

Edit: Forgot to mention I’ve also been to Mexico, Jamaica, 2 different states in Brazil, Netherlands, France, England, and Canada. I must repel communists.

How do you know you haven’t met a communist?

  • I talk politics with people and very openly describe myself as a leftist. I think it’s safe to say they would tell me they’re communists.

    • Considering the political climate in the US I would not openly signal I have communist ideals to a stranger, “leftist” or not.

    • The prototypal modern day communist is in their 20s and (along with most/all young people) thinks its impossible for the old to understand anything deeper about political theory than what's within the American overton window. They are talking communism with their college classmates, not you, and they know not to reveal their power level to strangers.
