It's something that really bothers me about communism and socialism being derisive in the US, even in 2024, about 35 years after USSR fell.

The alternative to community-centric society is autocracy, typically devolving into monarchism.

Death to monarchists!

I also noted this was a problem with the Rebel Alliance (who just supports a republic of oligarchs), and was called a centrist for my efforts.

Lemmy has wayyyy to many people who can't understand that America bad ≠ China good.

I was banned from /r/Latestagecapitalism for not agreeing with "China good", tried to explain the opposite: "China bad ≠ America good". They didn't care.
