> I don't think he was ever a communist.

I don't understand. He was a card-carrying member of the communist party who committed (a lot of) violence on behalf of communism/socialism. If THAT doesn't make someone a communist, then what does?

And if anyone who does things wrong is not a leftist, then of course that must extend to everyone, including of course non-leftists. Do Trump's actions also have zero bearing on the GOP then? Did Hitler unfairly give racists a bad name?

> I don't know much about Maduro or Thunberg and don't see why they're relevant.

Obviously because they're leftist icons, and because communist news defends them despite, especially for Maduro, some rather serious shortcomings.

Oh ... about that Putin, he is a great defender against American imperialism!
