So you support mindlessly targeting and blacklisting people because of a political ideology they may or may not support? That's despicable.

Better safe than sorry

Communism is not a "dangerous" ideology, at least not enough that blacklisting people is worth it. Personally, I have friends who are vocal communists and I don't want them to be persecuted.

ITT: far-right conservatives call out "commies" and describe "the great problem of communism" and everyone else is actually sane.

Another New York intellectual™ defending dangerous communists. Sad!

I'm not defending communism I'm defending people not being persecuted if they're communists. Because whenever we persecute people based on their beliefs,  it goes great, right?

No, for Joseph McCarthy

You know I've been trolling, right? "New York Intellectual" should be the giveaway -- since I'm a Jew myself I'm not exactly likely to use that dog whistle in a serious way...

Whoops XD. Well sometimes arguing with a troll is more fun

Also doesn't change the fact that some people were totally serious.
