We must combat the view that "workers" are all white men hitting steel bars with hammers. Throughout history this has been a prevailing misconception, most work occurs within the household or for the satisfication of everyday needs. This continues into the modern world, were most work either eases the burden of being alive, or otherwise satisfies basic needs.

I agree, of course they are, I'm not saying that they are not. Their use of the word is sick and twisted, but they are still utilizing it in a "positive" (to their base) manner. It is similar to how Hitler used socialist to his base. Obviously there would be another "night of the long knives" if they gained any real power. A normalization of "communism" in America is a response to the obvious and real contradictions of capitalism. We must not let the right dictate this response. It is easy with 20/20 hindsight to see how the left failed in 1930s Germany, we have a responsibility to the world to not repeat those failures.
