The Spectre of Communism Returns!

By Lyra Sieradzka

Darializa Avila Chevalier's now-deleted tweets supporting Communism is the current object of outrage for establishment media.
Lyra Sieradzka argues, however, that what we are seeing is a widespread de-stigmatization of communism itself across American society. The problem with Darializa's tweets are not how far they go--but that they do not go far enough. Communism is the final conclusion and the most terrifying enemy for the bourgeoisie.
But this also means it is the most potent line of attack against a collapsing social order, and one that the Communists, unlike the Democratic Socialists, must claim and struggle around.
