I think, perhaps, that you need to find another word to fit what you are describing, to save confusion.

It seems insufficient to label anybody who espouses left-wing, socialist ideas as communist; it is inaccurate and, dare I say, could be considered lazy. Communist is a definite, absolute term that relates to the poltical doctrine of Marl Marx and the Communist Manifesto, published in 1848. This is very precise and hardly describes the people you ascribe it to.

Hope you don't mind me saying.

Socialist and Communist economic ideas are more or less the same. State control of practically everything, ‘equality’ (whatever that is). All sorts of unlikely people were communists, Picasso, Jean-Paul Sartre and Nelson Mandela spring to mind.
I agree that labelling all the left as ‘commies’ is lazy, as is labelling all the right as fascists, racists etc.
I don’t mind you saying at all, why should I?

You are like the second coming of Oscar Wilde.
