Haha, now THAT, I find to be weird.
Personally, words don't offend me that much--and unless you were posting as an anon yourself Tonkatsu, I've never used the word "communism" in communication with you. Generally I pick my own vocabulary, though, so you may read it here again. Hope you can adjust.
I mean you can't expect me to observe a life-time ban because you don't like the word?? Can you??
And btw if you want to start tossing out some old tired buzz words such as McCarthyism, go for it, it's all just stick and stones to me.
What does offend me, more than words ever could, is disingenuous lefties (don't know if you're one of them) who want to pretend---now that their movement is pretty much past history---that they really are just moderate people, trying to be fair or something along innocuous lines like that.
Hell, to hear them tell it now they never wanted to force their collective will on anyone or soak the rich. Why, they don't really hate capitalism or even profit (although not-for profit is so-o-o much more correct!!) to here theme talk these days.
Sound familiar?
