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.

Since Marx wrote his theories around the time of the Mexican War, Democracies have learned to change their culture through non violence, protest and legislation. If violence is the last resort, non violence would be preferred to revolution.

The problem is that non-violence is of limited use against autocratic regimes. They just ignore their people generally. If violent revolution is to be cost effective or necessary, it will occur there.

You just have to work on how to control the thugs once the best thugs have risen to the top.

The problems are also not becoming greater. Things were much worse in the Gilded Age. Capitol was more the common denominator, the correct lens to view all other problems. Today? Not so much.

So I think your version of red should take the pink label.
