I think shes just like your normal non propagandized proletariat. Shes spent her whole life working and is basically a blank slate politically. She hasnt been radicalized to be anti communist because shes too busy working to watch the news. I think theres a lot of people like that out there. She doesnt know what communism is or who Lenin is so she isnt gonna have some knee jerk reaction to it.
The thing is, the Red Scare was so pervasive that a lot of people with basically her amount of actual understanding do have a knee jerk reaction to “communism”.
I love your mother, she’s incredible.
