> I grew up getting a lot of "evil commies" messages in US American media and I'm not even in USA

There's more than one reason for that, here is one that might be easy to overlook when someone is critizising USA with good reason:

America is not perfect but as a citizen and compared to the bad old commies it was mostly really good.

I feel my comment is still pretty safe.

You see, there is often a reason I use all those weasel words; otherwise it would be hard to poknt out that something can be far from ideal and something else can still be really much worse.
