    Communism isn’t Communalism.

    Yes, that’s true.

    Advocating for Communism

    … is legal, under the 1st Amendment.

    attempting to implement Communism at a national level is illegal

    By force, yes. Theoretically, with a broad enough consensus, it could be voted on and enacted.

    All pedantry aside, it’s important to differentiate between theory and practice or ideology and an organization.

      I understand, however my non-pedantic point is that the US legal system works against Communism. The US is a firmly anti-Communist project both within and without.

      Attempting to bring about Communism is impossible legally because it cannot be voted in, unless you believe it’s possible to simply ask a billionaire to not be.
