The credibility of this source is pretty questionable. Victims of Communism is little more than a right wing think tank with strong ties to the Heritage Foundation. To me, much of this report reads as tired McCarthyist propaganda. The quote at the end in particular is revealing insofar as it shows the clear conservative ideological bent of VoC.
Some of their statistics are also pretty strange:
>
Over one-third of Americans (39%) are likely to support a member of the Democratic Socialist party for office with greater support among younger generations (51% of Gen Z and 44% of Millennials). 16% of Gen Z and Millennials are likely to support a member of the Communist party for office.
What "Democratic Socialist party" are they talking about? I don't think I've ever seen an American politician run affiliated with such a party if it even exists.
> Nearly two-thirds (64%) of Americans say they are unaware that the Chinese Communist Party is responsible for more deaths than Nazi Germany.
Neglects to mention that those killed by the CCP were not killed on the basis of race, ethnicity or religious belief, but because they were landlords. I think most reasonable people would want to distinguish between that — as awful as it is — and the genocide committed by Nazi Germany.
> Over half of Gen Z (51%) think that America is a racist nation with a long history of discrimination.
Whether this is true or not, what does this have to do with communism?
