    this is interesting. so sometime between the Communist Party of Great Britain and 2017 the word devolved to mean “nazi puncher”, then returned to its roots as describing authoritarian communists? am i getting that right?/gen

    i have never seen firsthand that nazi punching usage. i have only know it to describe authoritarian communists

      I think maybe you replied to the wrong person? In either case, I have never heard the nazi puncher definition either
