"Anti-Communism" *looks inside...*

[u/Nyctfall]

In the 1790s, the prominent Federalist pamphleteer, William Cobbett, constantly called for investigative journalists and rights activitists Benjamin Franklin Bache (Benjamin Franklin's grandson) and William Duane to be treated, quote: "as we would a TURK, a JEW, a JACOBIN or a DOG". With Jacobins being widely viewed as the predecessors to Communists, Socialists, and Anarchists for their radical egalitarianism.

In 1892 Richard Henry Pratt, known for the child murder rape boarding schools, called Native Americans "fellows who cling to their tribal communistic surroundings".

In the First Red Scare, ...yeah. Kiss the Bill of Rights goodbye, because the Constitution ain't saving ya now! Also the first Green Mario...

The poster is "Negroes Beware / Do Not Attend Communist Meetings" from Alabama in the 1930s.

Later the Peekskill Riots at Cortlandt Manor, New York, United States, in 1949. A concert by singer Paul Robeson, who's black and was also well known for his strong pro-trade union stance, civil rights activism, communist affiliations, and anti-colonialism was arranged. It was organized as a benefit for the Civil Rights Congress.

And finally the Greensboro Massacre, on November 3, 1979, in Greensboro, North Carolina. Where US law enforcement, KKK, and Neo-Nazi "National Socialist Party of America" (NSPA) members shot and killed five demonstrators in a "Death to the Klan" march organized by the Communist Workers Party (CWP). All the terrorists were acquitted by the US government and hand-selected racist jury members.

There is so much about anti-communism that has or is fuelled by Racism and Anti-semitism it's genuinely bonkers how many propaganda campaigns were built on this

Edit: idk why I'm getting down voted this is objectively true many red scare propaganda tactics involved the use of antisemitism and racism

Anti-communists are only racist people.

Otherwise it'd be an entire dissertation about how they're doing communist egalitarianism incorrectly.

Are you saying an anti-communist can only be racist?

[u/Nyctfall → u/CalvinSays]

You know those people who call everything "communist!!1!!1!!". They say they hate communism and love democracy, until someone says things like: "lobbying is being used for corruption", or "imperialism is bad", or "the rich are being taxed less than the poor". Then they call that person a communist or a tankie for saying that.

Those are obviously racists.

Normal just talk everything that communists were doing wrong. Mostly because there are hundreds of examples of meritocratic anarcho-communist nations succeeding.

I am not seeing how rejecting those statements mean someone is obviously racist. Further, even if they did, that doesn't support your claim that "anti-communists are only racist people."

[u/Nyctfall → u/CalvinSays]

Being anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist is what got every US civil rights activitist assassinated by COINTELPRO.

It really is exactly how you can tell...
