Stuff like this is why I say a lot of USians are politically illiterate and don’t mean it as an exaggeration. Though actually, it might be an understatement because you have stuff like this, where it’s not just that they don’t understand, it’s that they’re confidently wrong. Propaganda has flipped the script on them, but underneath, their material conditions often still reflect someone who would benefit from a socialist state. So then you have this wildness, where he can present something that would benefit them and they can even agree with it, as long as he says the alternative is “communism” - the monster under the bed.
It just goes to show how obviously sensible the concepts of communism are, when it’s not being blockaded by a knee-jerk hate response. Hell, using myself as an example, I might have mentioned before how there was a time prior to my reading any theory where I sort of accidentally found my way to something like communism as a thing to believe in; like just on the sensibility of it, not from others telling me. Granted, I did not meander into something as complex as dialectical materialism (I still struggle sometimes to fully wrap my head around that). But it’s like, it makes sense that people would lean in that direction, whether they have the same word for it or not, when the oppressive conditions out of which it developed as theory and practice are still very much a thing. It shows the scientific roots of it; in science, you can have two people independently observe and record more or less the same thing because the thing itself is not different based on who is looking at it. How it is interpreted can be different, but science strives to separate out interpretation from raw empirical traits.
