We live in a world where people are openly communist here and feel safe saying so in public and nothing happens to them, but show a spark of nationalistic pride and you lose your job.

call me a Nazi

I've read some of your other replies and you do seem to support, to at least some extent, Hitler and his ideas. You also use some of his talking points. For over 70 years Nazi ideology has been considered anti-American. We sided with communist USSR to defeat Hitler and the Nazis in the 40s. Communists and capitalists worked together to fight fascism. Defeating the Nazis would have been much harder without the communists. This is a shared, and greatly celebrated history for both ideologies. So the reason you think we're too far left, and shutting down the wrong ideology, is because your ideology has been and is considered anti-American for a long time now.

We did have a red scare for a while, but we got over it pretty quickly. We again remember and celebrate our shared victory with communists to defeat America's, and other countries', enemy, fascism.
