in the US we're suffering from a century of anti-communist (pro-capitalist, pro-industrialist, pro-imperialist) propaganda willfully cultivated by our plutocratic oligarchs and disseminated by our education system.
So communist and socialist are words of contempt, despite what they actually mean.
So I get it.
Oh, I get why it happens, and that it's all a feature of the system not a bug, doesn't make it any less frustrating to see..
