You, sir, are absolutely correct.
I find it alarming that communism no longer seems to be a bad word. And this is among both the right and left.
Do a little research on a cat named Baynard Rustin, and you will see how the communists literally used the Civil Rights Movement as their staging ground to really infiltrate our federal government.
Sadly, when a person states that communism is not dead and that it should be resisted at all costs, he or she is ridiculed. The left has done a great job in redefining itself.
