maybe this is a hot take, but because i see next to no effective/correct communist organizing in the west (and the masses are even farther off rn) i don’t get the sense that anyone is seen as a significant threat. i mean, the overton window has shifted so much that left liberals are called communists regularly.

sure, we’re all probably on lists somewhere. sure, the west is still at its heart fundamentally anti-communist. sure, things could suddenly get a lot worst if the house of cards comes falling down. but, i think if you’re currently at the point where you think being killed for your beliefs in the short term is realistic i think you’re either extremely desperate (rightfully so, i’m sure) or simply adventurist.

outside of the west could be entirely different for all i know, but i get the sense that many on here (not all, maybe not even a majority, could be an interesting poll) are from the west. i’m speaking from my own experience as a westerner. in any case, i don’t plan on dying anytime soon.
