Good post, and very good footnote. Making that distinction would be helpful for both the people who overuse that label, and the people who refuse to because of economics alone.

The left is utterly shameless, and it can be traced to Bill Clinton's behavior during the Lewinsky scandal. I remember thinking that he had no choice but to resign--it was the decent and honorable thing to do. Well, it was the decent and honorable thing to do, but Clinton was not a decent and honorable man. The Democrats have abandoned decency with their full-throated celebration of abortion, and their promotion of sodomy to school children.

Communism is at its core collectivism. Covid amplified this odious philosophy: "My mask protects you, your mask protects me." and "None of us are safe until we're all vaccinated." The "we're all in this together" note is being played in a big way to combat the non-existent climate crisis.

It's interesting to note that Our Lady of Fatima warned the world, in 1917, that Russia would spread its errors (communism) unless it was consecrated to Her Immaculate Heart. This was just as the Bolsheviks were beginning their ascension. Lucky guess...

Repetition worked very well "during covid." That could've awakened politicians to the fact that you don't really need to convince people, you only need to make them single-minded.
