I don't consider Communism any more especially opposed to capitalist conservatism than to capitalist progressivism, which supports the tech sector as a totalitarian force and uses welfare to buy off the lumpen and lower proletaria and to keep money circulating. Communism is not "blue team, but more so". And this understanding of Communism is growing, though venues like r/Ultraleft, r/Shitleftoidssay, r/marxism_201, YouTubers like Xexixzy and anarchopac and CuckPhilosophy, etc. There has been a major theoretical movement away from social democracy (muh pink team) and Stalinism and towards actual programmatical Marxism. Still overwhelmingly outnumbered by the Stalinoids and succdems, to be sure, and many of us leftcoms still struggle with bourgeois delusions, but less so.
