Right-wing Propanda

I saw on Google that Mark Levin's American Marxism is one of the bestselling books of 2021, which is a frightening fact, so I read this piece over at Jacobin. This part blew me away:

There is something particularly American in not wanting to understand the people you set out to destroy. . . . For the early Puritan, the forest was a site of Satanic evil; for the anti-communist, Marxism was a kind of witchcraft, to be burned — or perhaps electrocuted — rather than incorporated or co-opted.
