It's a highly disturbing sign of the times that "this is just communism" no longer works universally as an argument. That it needs to be qualified now, suddendly, even here on a forum for startups -- even though almost everybody over the age of 30 knows it does not work like they know that the sun rises in the morning.

Of course, it's no less alarming that there's also a growing population who is incapable of understanding "that's nazism dude, don't do that".
