never mind it isn't...

They aren't communism, they are merely citizens as a collective group using the national wealth they helped create for their needs in infirmity and in older age

I agree 100%, of course. But it's we as citizens working as a collective group that they want to outlaw and kill. The whole concept is evil to them. They would probably lose most of the magas if they started actually calling for the killing of social democracy or democratic socialism... magas really aren't smart enough to know the difference between the two of them and communism vs capitalism. For Johnson, "Communism" is a boogie man that his maga people think they know and can fight behind. He's trying to rally his own collective group while trying to stamp out ours, basically. Doesn't have to make any sense!
