"Explain to me what you think a communist is"

I guarantee they give a wrong answer if they can even figure one out.

To be fair, most people on Lemmy.world can't either. The vast majority of people in the west have not read Marx, or if they have done so, they have only read the Communist Manifesto perhaps once. Communism is so thoroughly demonized in the Imperial Core that only a minor fraction have even read Marx, and only a fraction among them have read more than just the CM.
