I remember during the 2020 riots a guy I worked with asked me how I felt about gun control, figured I was a fellow chud and began ranting about how the deranged left were burning the city down around us.
Been there. The communism = no guns thing always confused the fuck out of me. Where do they think all the Kalashnikovs came from?
My guess on that has been that it's intrinsically tied to American settler colonialism. There's a kernel inside every chud who believes they're brave frontiersmen who need to defend their homestead. White supremacy stuff basically
and they have such a shallow understanding of the world they only interpret it as "good guys with guns shoot bad people of lesser races." So gun control can only be interpreted as restrictions on white autonomy
I suspect you're right. With some communism is when the government does stuff and the government ultimately seeks to emasculate you so that they can do even more stuff thrown in
Do the reactionaries where you live actually think of communism when they say the "left"?
Anything left of hunting the homeless for sport is communism where I'm from
