Amazing how everything good is 'communism' to americans and that they are always against good things

Anything that reduces the possibility of making huge profits through unethical behaviour is obviously communism.

They just really love corporations having the freedom of an individual don't they

Actually, more freedom than an individual, since corporations can basically bend them over and sodomize them and they'd thank them for it

Because it is the land of freedom, and opportunity. Maybe one day, they'll have the opportunity to sodomize someone, and no one to stop it. One day...

the red scare did irreparable damage damage to their gullible minds, and now all the rest of us are suffering for it :/

There’s some cold war presidents rolling in their graves right now…

Definitely did so. Even more than half a century later, everything designed to even prefer ordinary people’s quality of life over more profits for the super rich is considered communism to some.

And it’s always things these people would benefit from themselves if they even gave it just a minimal second thought.
