You are creating a synthetic American “left” that is anti-communist

The American left today is as communist-friendly as it’s been since McCarthyism.

How high bar. They aren’t as anti-communist as the arch anti-communist. Real high aspirations here. Plus, the radlibs were not as viscerally “anti-tankie” and anti-China just a couple years ago. Jacobin state department socialists are as deeply embedded into the synthetic American left as ever before.

If you’re going to write off a generational openness towards communism as insufficient, have fun starting your protracted people’s war with your five True Leftist friends. That’s where you’re headed if you shit on anything short of ideal.

How is there any openness to communism displayed here? How does AOC shitting on communism create openness to communism? It does the opposite. It’s a filter, a sheepdog.
