Yh that shit is hilarious. Especially as it speaks volumes about how theoretically fragile their liberal ideology actually is, when their echo-chamber bubble get’s burst and they are confronted with actual critiques that they can’t respond to properly and so right off as being equivalent to far-right ‘populism’. It also reveals tons about their general class background and classist elitism that for them anything that even remotely smacks of ‘appeals to the people’ can be equated as ‘populism’, which also tells you that these liberals are very much stuck in a realm of ideological discourse and virtue signalling where what matters is not the actual meaning and practical implications and real actions of communists, but the sounds of the words and whether those same sounds are made by other people they dislike and can easily demonize because they are already obviously tarnished (i.e. conservatives and fascists).
