Welcome to America. Everything is illegal. Everyone is a suspect. You are always being watched. Anything you do or don't do will be used against you in a kangaroo court. You have no rights. You lose. Fuck you very much and have a great day!
Before J Stalin became leader of the Soviet Union, he was a regional Party leader. During that time he had a nickname:. "Comrade File Cabinet". Named so for his habit of collecting files on everyone.
As for climate change, I simply don't care whether or not Chicken Little is right that the sky is falling. Because I'm 100% sure pollution sucks goat balls. There's no need for any hysterical doomsaying to believe that pollution should be very severely curtailed. But hey, I'm sure the various polluting industries are thankful to you for giving environmentalism a bad name.
The dystopia is so much bigger than petty partisan politics. But you're too busy foaming at the mouth over irrelevant pap served up by the semi-official media. Look around you. The socioeconomic problems of the world have little indeed to do with who got elected as figurehead actor-in-chief.
American kangaroo courts are notoriously unconcerned with justice, and our country's Gulag is surpassed only by Stalin's original. Why do other countries continue to allow extradition to the United States?

Nice hysterical propaganda! Did you know capitalism has killed at least 205,000,000?
See the problem is, both these figures have a certain truth to them, even putting aside the inevitable politically inspired exaggerations. Yet both figures also have a major element of hand-wavy bullshittiness.
In both cases the overwhelming majority of the claimed casualties were not killed by gubmint bullets, but by the results of economic policies. Problem is, everyone dies eventually, and most causes of premature death are multifactorial - malnutrition, obesity, disease, etc. So how do you accurately and consistently define "premature death", much less measure it over population over time?
Shrill hysteria like "Ideology X killed N people! Reeeeeee!" does nothing to advance our understanding of politics or economy. Imho it's far more useful to point out that while collectivization of heavy industry has a pretty good record, collectivization of agriculture has a record of disastrous failure.

It's time to get out the antitrust laws. Break up Facebook!
How much did the Chinese pay you to post this pro-authoritarian twaddle?
Meet the new boss - same as the old boss.
And so with small fanfare and a queer simulacrum of hope began mankind's autogenocide.
'Cuz tweeting is far more valuable than actually making software.

Something to ponder....
What's the chance the payouts will be determined in a fair, transparent, non-partisan manner?
What's the chance this is just a way for the VC cabal who own Medium to crowdsource some hysterical anti-worker propaganda?
The Economist produces slick, well-written financialist propaganda. Politifact produces craptastic, obvious Democrat-faction financialist propaganda. Please try again.

Your unhinged hyperbole is certainly "irrelevant pap"...

The dystopian future already arrived, some years ago.

Nazi Nazi Nazi Reeeeeee! Nazinazi! NAZI!!!!1!!
Damn, the 50 Cent Army is working overtime today.
How much does Putin pay you to agitate against freedom of speech and undermine American values?
Okay, toodles, you go right on believing that.
I say let 'em go for it. Every man-hour spent chasing dead robbers, is a man-hour not spent oppressing live dissidents.

Duuuuuude, it's this really dank shit called "reality".
Yay corporate welfare! Fuck the taxpayers! Rich get richer, debt gets deeper. Yay capitalism!

I guess you just use the term as an indiscriminate insult, kinda like "fuckface". Whatever.
But using a specifically political group name to apply to an entirely different and opposing political group does kinda stultify the conversation.
Associating Antifa, BLM, and related SJH hate groups with communism, is hugely insulting to real communists.
