Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/El Chisme

The Cold War may have technically ended, but the entire world is still blaming the Soviet Union for everything that ever goes wrong, just like back then...
The specter of the USSR continues to haunt capitalism. What possibilities for the defeat of the empire exist can trace a huge portion of their survival and success directly to the Soviets and Leninism.
Lenin only slumbers.
Part of me wants to post that Simpsons clip.
But yeah. I mean, the Manifesto predicted this, it literally talks about the "spectre of communism".
(I'm also reminded of a political cartoon, not sure if it was drawn during the Cold War or was later commentary on the period and continued strategies.)
