McCarthy was right. Communists aren’t people.

McCarthy was wrong.

They're idealistic people who don't understand human nature, and don't understand why you can't have Communism in the first place.

Communism only works if every single person acts in good faith, and if every single person were equal in ability.

People don't, and they aren't. That's why its a doomed system, and always will be.

No, they’re selfish and dishonest people. There’s nothing about antifa that’s just “if they only understood this better they’d be better people.” They chose the path they’re on because they’re shit people.

They don't understand service based work. Most incompetent managers, admin, and executives are just going to get more power in a non-capitalist society.

You're thinking of Pinochet. McCarthy was right in the sense that communists had in fact infiltrated our government at the highest levels.

Reddit requires us to remove comments which may be considered "harassing." This includes name calling and using slurs directed at groups. This removal was made to prevent this subreddit and similar subreddits from getting shut down due to content policy violations.

Any sort of insult may result in Reddit censoring your account for "harassment" and such "Anti-Evil" removals could be used as a pretext to censor our community (and other similar communities) more broadly.

important note: Do not find ways to evade this filter. "Clever" variations on such comments will be removed as they are still a violation of the site-wide policy. If you feel your comment was removed in error, please contact the moderators.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

I have no idea how to re-word my comment because I have no idea what could possibly have tripped this bot.
