My point is, after years of shoving must-fear-the-Commies down the minds of the American (/West) people, the prefixed was dropped because it didn't fit the narrative; because now there was money to be made. Which goes back to my original point. The only ppl who got it wrong were the politicians, and they're idiots anyway. No surprise. Yeah, they're still communist. But you'd never know it.
