You don’t have to be a communist to be seen as a threat to capital. You don’t have to be a communist to be targeted by capital in terms of smear campaigns and violence. You’re being pedantic over my phrasing so you could insert a childish jab at me for some reason.
I was initially responding to the point that commies shouldn’t criticise him publicly because he’s “one of our own”. But he’s explicitly not. If he was running as an independent or in a legitimate worker’s party I’d have much more sympathy for him. Running as a democrat will be the death of any radicalism he might individually possess.
Hold on now, I didn’t say anyone shouldn’t criticize him publicly. The point was that we should be aware that others are watching and that it can be used against us. So already you’re reading into things that aren’t there and instead of asking me, just assuming I have a way more lib opinion than I really do.
JFK wasn’t a radical either but they sure as shit treated him like one.
Ok? I don’t really see how that’s relevant? Was JFK about to unleash communism on America before his head exploded?
JFK prevented a full scale amerikkkan invasion of Cuba before his head exploded
