In 1945, the US Army put out a training manual intended to help rank and file soldiers spot incipient fascism in the US. One of the telltale signs that one was dealing with a fascist was that they called everyone to their left "a communist." bsky.app/profile/seth...
The third fascistic tactic to watch out for is their tendency to label anyone they disagree with who is to their left "a Communist." Fascists claim that they alone can save their nations from "the communist menace." Anyway, the 2024 GOP platform contains the phrase "Christ-hating communists."

I'll grant that I hadn't had the most cosmopolitan of life experiences before then...but for real, Ted and I traveled in similar-ish circles where just being admiring of Bernie Sanders or Paul Wellstone or Angela Davis felt wildly edgy...the idea that HLS was a hotbed of communism is ludicrous.
