Why is it it that conservatives are so paranoid of communism?

The us won the cold war and I doubt there are any communist left to infiltrate the us.

It would be better if they were more paranoid about authoritarian/fascist ideas creeping into conservative politics.

Its an easy buzzword. No one know exactly what communism means so just throw it around whenever someone disagrees with you.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Because they’re still an internal threat from within

[Adaeva]

Because they don't like socialism and most people are socialists and there very little difference.

It would interfere with their ability to financially cheat and exploit others.

Because they know what happens to countries that implement it.
