Communism =/= leftism. It’s an extreme form of socialism.
My biggest problem isn’t even the communist ideals. Have your ideas, that’s fine. I don’t care.
My problem is the amount of people coming into post comments attacking American Imperialism® on posts that aren’t even related to communist ideals or, sometimes, that don’t even mention America. It gets tiring reading how much America sucks when that’s not even the point of the post.
Communism is leftist, and often conservatives and some liberals will call anything left of center “communist” so it’s well within reason for the OC to be wary of your rhetoric.
Also disliking imperalism isn’t only a communist thing, and I have to wonder what kinds of posts you’re looking at that people bring up American imperialism if it’s not relevant. I’m subscribed to a lot of political communities on Lemmy and don’t see the topic of imperialism being brought up that often.
There are many types of communism. Most left leaning ideologies can be described in terms of communism. As Westerners, the further you live from Eastern Europe the more miseducated we tend to be about the subject.
