Using "Red Scare" tactics work a lot better when the "Reds" are actively threatening to annihilate your civilization with mutually assured nuclear apocalypse. But now the dastardly Soviet Union no longer exists, and China seems pretty content with watching the US ruin itself from the sidelines. The Boogeyman of Communism only exists in the minds of Boomers. Capitalism is by far the biggest active threat in the lives of most people today.

@malcircuit if you support CCP on pragmatic terms, eventually you will have legitimate criticism of something they do less than optimally. and then they will liquidate you. that is how that system works and why westerners that unironically fluff CCP are rubes. You would be dead in their system.
