And honor, high regard, & much appreciation is in order for this...but you know, we can't keep living in the previously established "order" of opposition.
For one thing, let's be up front about this & acknowledge that some (who knows what %) of our culture's opposers of socialism & communism were themselves racists -- and many more didn't necessarily practice open racism but left its practice "status quo" ... often turning their heads to look the other way as if it wasn't there.
Beyond that, the cults proliferated and/or greatly expanded in the 1960s. Abortion became legalized in '73...
IOW, simply put: Many opposers of socialism & communism haven't always learned how to multi-task & fight many different battles on multiple turfs.
What that means for our culture is that we haven't had much time -- or built-up enough of a generational family legacy like what you're describing in your family -- to expand our multi-front opposition. (For example, the pro-life movement is really less than 40 years old in this country!)
What I've noticed about those who tend to cite socialism/communism is they're even more "single-issue" than what others accuse pro-lifers of being!
Many of them (not all) are either culturally ADD (ADHD) or seem to have trouble grasping...
...there are no basic rights to protect if the pre-born can't even emerge from the womb...
...if we can't stop the overwhelming wholesale mass slaughter, what makes you think the rest of the culture is going to remain untouched? The prophet Hosea said that violence begets violence.
Also, this battle in the womb is simply an exploitation extension of what we've done in our nation's past to blacks & Native Americans...
...and...the negative consequences from the cults can be just as bad eternally (hell is forever) as our socio-political environment's potential overall impact.
We're dealing with multiple wars, fronts, trenches. May I suggest the single-issue anti-socialists learn the basic lesson provided by our exemplar Silent Generation...thereby learning how to multi-task in taking on multiple wars, fronts & trenches?
