Can't say I've experienced this. According to American liberals I've talked with, communism is just about synonymous with fascism. No way I could mention that I'm a socialist, that's like an insult towards liberals here. But I also live in Georgia where they ran ads about "radical socialist anti-israel anti-American Fidel Castro supporting communist Raphael Warnock" for the entire election, and that was supposed to scare us, so... maybe there's the reason. Yes the ads were by the Heritage Foundation

For the most part yeah, that's pretty spot on. This is just in comparison to conservative spaces in America, mind you.

But say on the campus of a liberal arts college? Its like an alternative anarchist.
