    No, I’m just saying there were communists in high offices during McCarthy’s tenure. Where in that did I defend capitalism, or bring it up at all?

      Defending mccarthy in any way is a defence of his actions. Communists existing in high offices is not an excuse to carry out those actions. You cool with republicans mass purging democrats from their positions because they don’t like their political beliefs? Murdering them? Deporting them? Throwing them in prison or worse, blacksites? Because that’s what you’re supporting and enabling with this shit.

      Fucking cringe.
