Sixty years ago, Commie was one of the worst insults you could level at someone, perhaps just behind Nazi in the political insult pecking order. For people who grew up in a post-Iron Curtain world, about third of the population the idea of Commie as an insult just doesn’t really stick. Today use of the term says more about you than the subject of your insult. Communism as defined by Lenin, the practice of communism under Stalin and his successors and communism in Russia or China today is vastly different than the Commies of the 50's.
Communism is communism as far as I'm concerned, and anyone who agrees with any form of communism is as anti-American as it gets.
You would have to be as dumb as a rock to not see that communism in both Russia and China is a far cry from the commie days of the 1950's. The ideology is about the same but the application to governing and society has had made major changes. In China today, private business account for 84% of all enterprises. The Communist Run the goverment just as they always have but when it comes to business and personal freedoms, the government tends to stay out of the lives of the people and business as long they stay out of politics and government.
Lenin would be shocked that Russia, the nation that gave birth to communism can no longer be seen as a communist country. In Stalin's Russia there was only one party, the Communist's Party. The government owned essentially all the land and buildings. Free enterprise was nearly non-existent. Today, United Russia is largest party in Russia not the Communist Party (CPFR). 50 million individuals and business own property. Nearly half of the businesses in Russia is now either completely privately owned or in partnership with the government. The nation has evolved toward a parliamentary democracy.
With its national identity linked to communism for nearly a century, many wonder: Is Russia communist today, even after the fall of the Soviet Union?

That's because Reagan broke up the Soviet Union. Communism is just like any political movement. It changes. Look at what happened to the Democrat party. They went from Democrats to liberals, from liberals to progressive, from progressive to Democrat Socialists today, and they will keep going in that direction until they reach Communism. Once there, they will continue taking more freedoms from Americans and more laws against them until it is the USSR.
You must be blind or something. Don't you see how the other Communists in social media are conspiring to silence conservative talk? They got rid of Trump last week so he could no longer speak. Now they are using words like deprogramming Trump followers just like the book 1984, which actually used the term reprogramming. At Harvard, the commies are insisting that any Trump supporter have their degree removed that graduated from that school. Other commies are telling their fellow Communists that anybody associated with Donald Trump should not be able to work.
If Stalin could see what the Democrats are doing, he'd be jealous. Even he couldn't accomplish what they are doing today.
If Satan approaches you, he will not look like Satan, he will look just like you. He won't reveal who he really is until you sold your soul to him.
