    Apparently there is an old US law that says communists aren’t owed human rights. It was challenged in a lower court as unconstitutional but it never went to a higher court so it’s still on the books. Be prepared to be treated as less than human.

      This sounds scary in a way, but I don’t think USian communists have ever been treated particularly humanely. There may be some legal gray area they exist in during some of its history, but like, the historical Black Panther Party’s breakfast program for kids was treated as a threat (smeared in the media, one of their kitchens destroyed by cops), so the US is pretty fucked up in that way already.

    counterpoint: murder Ukrainians

    That’s a Western sport:

    • murder Ukrainian Jews
    • murder Ukrainian revolutionaries
    • groomed generations of Ukrainian Nazis and their apologists to be cannon fodder for Western aggression against Russia
