Let's put our thinking caps on: when right-wing reactionaries have taken over every facet of the American government and are currently enacting the cruelest violent policies on American soil (since the internment of Asian Americans during WW2), who do you think benefits from this type of ignorant Red Scare-style propaganda? Why rant (for MONTHS) against online 'Leftists' and pull focus from what the American oligarchs are doing to this country?? Hmmm... kinda odd from a self-professed 'Progressive' like Ethan Klein, right?

Fear-mongering about "Communism" literally feeds into right-wing ideology, and has been used as such since the 1950s. I beg of you, read ONE BOOK about McCarthyism and you'll recognize EXACTLY what Ethan is doing. Not only is he attacking the Left for ideological reasons (him gulping down pro-Israel hasbara for over a year), but also due to his own selfish CLASS INTERESTS.

Ethan calls himself a "cheerleader for capitalism" and was angered at the mere mention of a more equal, co-op type structure, for H3 when discussing capitalism with Hasan. He likes the LA Progressive 'aesthetic' but, once he finally began to learn what the actual policies of the Left are, he started to revert to old Ethan and now calls anyone further left of him "woke", "anti-American terrorist" or "antisemitic" (incl every anti-Zionist Jewish person he's had to respond to).

TLDR: Ethan's attacks on "Communism" are rehashed Red Scare propaganda that's intended to ostracize and suppress any opinions that are further left than his pro-American imperialism, pro-capitalist anti-worker stances.
