Right, but who's communism? Certainly not Stalin's. Perhaps Eugene V. Debs' [1]? Speaking of persons who were imprisoned and indirectly, but not really, killed for their anti-war stance. (Back in the USSA [2] tells an alternate history of USA as communistic after 1917, perhaps too reliant on the actual history and general intertextuality).

- mrguyorama 3y agoFor the entirety of the 20th century, ALL communism was conflated with Stalin's "Communism" for political purposes. Plenty of people advocating for socialism would have been executed in the USSR because to Stalin, "Communism" meant a Stalin based monarchy with a good propaganda arm.
