      How on earth am I being racist or a colonizer for being a communist and pointing out that using mental illness as an insult is ableism?

      Discussions about political philosophy and ideology aren’t limited to an individual’s personal experiences and traumas associated with an implementation of that ideology.

      If every discussion about capitalism became about specific US atrocities it would also cease to be a philosophical discussion about capitalist ideology.

      Go ahead and relate your personal experiences to the specific tenets and ideas of communism to make your point.

      Otherwise any discussion about politics in Western liberal nations can also be sabotaged by pointing to an unhoused person.
