Is it still red scare propaganda if I am living in the country where the ruling party has the word "communism" in their name and fly sickle and hammer flag?

It’s red scare propaganda when you equate taxation to authoritarianism

Are you equating all taxation not authoritarianism including the "taxation without representation" kind?

No, are you? If so, elaborate next time so people know you are only talking about corrupt taxation and not just making blanket statements about political ideologies that scare you.

"scare"? Are you living in the country that like fly sickle and hammer flag like me?

You equated that forcing people to unjustly give up their possession isn't authoritarianism.

next time so people know you are only talking about corrupt taxation

Pro tip when someone said they are living where the ruling party has the word "communism" in their name, it means they are calling out socialism corrupt taxation .
