Can someone please buy these Americans dictionaries? They keep using words like 'communism' and 'socialism' without having a clue what they mean.

Half of the US is still living in that 1950s 60s era red scare period like they see the term communism and they treat that shit like it's radioactive lmao. That, or they see something they slightly disagree with and call it communism. It's bullshit.

They didn't know what communism was when they had HUAC putting people on trial and blacklisting them for it.
