The "communist boogeyman" is objective, observable fact. Communism led to the death of over 100M people. Communists operated at a high level in the US government. Communists are burning American cities right now, in 2020. Every single attempt at implementing communism has led to violence and oppression at a massive scale. You may not like it. You may desperately want to deflect. You may employ whataboutism, a term literally coined to describe the behavior of communist mouthpieces, to cast blame elsewhere. But that's just how it is. If "reactionaries" are the only people offering substantive resistance to communism, then we need a hell of a lot more of them.
