The Soviet Union is long gone. Communist should no longer be a derisive and should sound like a 20th century cliché in 2025.
I wonder (can't confirm) if the evergreen state of communist or socialist as derision is due to the far right propaganda industrial complex still pushing (hard) that anything that isn't capitalism is a moral wrong.
you expect people that are emotionally stuck in the 1950s to recognize the USSR is gone?
Any time I see or hear someone using "communist" as an insult, I immediately assume they're a right-winger using the word to mean "something I'm afraid of."
My fundie-Christian family members use it as a synonym for "atheist" because that's what they're afraid of.
Also there's plenty of completely car-brained infrastructure in Eastern Europe, built by communist regimes. Budapest is absolutely atrocious.
