    I find the conflation of Communism with the military trappings of a past socialist experiment to be problematic, especially given the ongoing appropriation of such visual cues by a reactionary restorationist regime.

      Me too :/ not only that, but it scares people off even more than just the term communism, which in itself is taboo

      Radical love, mutual aid, human solidarity, and nonviolent imagery and ideals are more powerful, since they have the ability to tap into a shared ethical ideal, one that can stretch across political and religious boundaries.
