General Discussion

I still disagree that they conflate communism with it. Ask 99% of people on the right to define communism and they can't do it. They have no idea what communism is. Many even equate the Nazis with communists. For the right, communism is simply a catch-all word at this point to describe anything they disagree with. It's why they continually equate communism with socialism and with fascism, etc. as if they are all the same thing. Of course they are all VERY different. To the right, communism has become a simple word to use as a bogeyman to criticize the left (despite them having no idea what the word actually means).
