But my point would be that the Right Wing will occasionally try to "tar" Democrats as "communists" or "communist sympathizers". Over all, the "Large-C" communist ideology is, as you say, moot as an active ideology in the world. Yet, the ghost of it still remains and sometimes right-wingers try to under-cut contemporary Dems by calling them "communists" or "sympathizers". So, occasionally, we must point out that mainstream dems have always been anti-communist.
