I'm not sure I've seen any evidence of it existing though, is it just a Boogeyman, or so something that happened a while back? An in joke of some sort?

Looking at your account, you're on a instance that is defederated with the worst offenders

Make a lemmy.ml account and pop into any thread that talks about Ukraine and you won't be confused anymore lol

Personally, I don't mind one bit that they're communist, but their trollish behavior and their tendency to act like China and Russia (and I've even seen a few for North Korea) are bastions of individual liberty, prosperity, and justice with no faults makes them exactly as annoying as the super nationalist western folks who act the same about the US or Europe (depending usually purely on where they're from).

Basically it's not a communist problem, it's a troll problem where the trolls all happen to be communist
