So what percentage of the electorate is communist?
Somebody votes for these despots.
Would they vote for them, though, if they said “I AM A COMMUNIST”?
No, but they’ll vote for them if they say “wealth redistribution”, “helping the poor”, or “I’ll make sure you’re taken care of by the government”.
Good question, I wouldn’t hazard a guess, but it must be significant, particularly in “minority” ranks.
