American anti-communist propaganda at it's finest

Whenever I talk to a left leaning American about anything political, the first thing they do is shout that I'm a "communist" and say I should go live in a "communist" country for a month and I'll beg to come back to America.<br><br>Even though I'm a simple social democrat from Europe, and not a fucking communist<br><br>And then I'll ask them why they're so scared of communism, and then they don't respond because they know that they have literally no clue what they're talking about
