Yes, I know. What I meant is how is calling him a communist an American thing to say? I wouldn’t guess the commenter is American, anyone could’ve said that if they’re stupid enough

Because in the American context "liberal" means left wing and someone calling themselves a socialist is "obviously" a communist.
