They’re baaack. “They” being communists, or for the academics, Marxists.
Hairsplitting.
Communism is the implementation of the ideology Karl Marx advanced in his 1848 thesis, “The Communist Manifesto.”
The resurgence started with intersectionality, cultural demands, and the redefinition of words like racism, gender, and homeless. Aided by funding from the Chinese Communist Party, and the growth of organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America, the far left added violence and dismantling capitalism. Today, radical leftists pursue the full communist agenda, fused with antisemitism and radical Islam.
Turn up your nose at the Red Menace, but during the 20th century, communists killed more than 90 million of their fellow countrypersons and instigated mass famines, incarceration, and economic hardships. Though the Red Scare of the 1950s has been derided by the intelligencia, decryption of Soviet-era documents obtained in the Venona Project confirms that the substantial majority of those accused of spying for the Soviet Union during this period were indeed guilty. The Soviet Union infiltrated American unions, media, and politics.
More recently, China has taken the lead in penetrating American institutions, co-opting universities and research facilities, and supporting radical left opposition to ICE, data centers, police, fossil fuels, America’s involvement in the Middle East, and other American social and political structures. According to the last U.S. Annual Threat Assessment, China has “increased [its] capabilities to conduct covert influence operations” and will “continue to expand its coercive and subversive malign influence activities to weaken the United States.”
The FBI under both Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump agreed that “The counterintelligence and economic espionage efforts emanating from the government of China and the Chinese Communist Party are a grave threat to the economic well-being and democratic values of the United States. Confronting this threat is the FBI’s top counterintelligence priority.”

Thank you, I was going to say it has never gone away.
Communism is the only concept dems have to promote. Dems believe Mao and Stalin were successful leaders even though they killed millions for nothing but their own egos of power.
Indeed democrat party is still around.
