It's rich that the fascist authoritarian and wannabe dictator accuses Democrats of being "communist".

He obviously does not know the difference between a democratic socialist and a "communist". Most of the governments in Europe are democratic socialists and they nowhere resemble the "communists" we knew under Stalin or Mao.

But, he is good at name-calling. But he is awful at telling the truth.

It's just a hate word to them.
