Retweeting a video that says "white power" is something racists do, though, so you might need a better example.

Using that analogy, putting a wealth cap on people is something communists do, so therefore they are communists.

> a white supremacist is not someone who advocates for bringing jobs back home, or enforcing immigration law. But people still feel free to call Trump racist because of those policies.

And his multiple criminal/civil findings of guilt for discrimination against black people and minorities in his real estate businesses?

I'm going to take a guess that _that_ may be why people call racist, not because he "advocates for bringing jobs back home" (while happily continuing to move / keep his own production in China and Asia).

Although I disagree (yes the view that his immigration policy is fundamentally rooted in fear of brown people is common) I'm not trying to make it about Trump, or to argue pro or against him per se.

I'm trying to say that the person I responded to is basically strawmaning. No one says that giving affordable housing is necessarily communist. But instead the particular solutions are.

Conservatives want affordable housing too--they just think that other solutions are better.

It's a common argumentative fallacy. If you don't support my solution, you must be against the problem.

If it's fair game to say that Trump's immigration policy has ulterior motives (basically he doesn't want brown people in the country) I think it's fair (maybe not true, but fair game) to say that people who want to tax wealth are communist or communist leaning.

Who wanted a $10M wealth cap? How would that even work? How widespread was that belief in any popular sub?

I think it was fairly popular. I saw people arguing for it (you don't need more than $20 million dollars, so it should go to the public)

This is actually a popular view in wider reddit.

Of course this is all anecdotal. Of course I can't give you any numbers, just gut feeling I got there.
