Communism as IE Ideology — “Old Wine in New Bottles”

“So the idea that Russia or China which, even today, promote their identity by reference to ComMuNism are ‘anti-Western’ is somewhat laughable. When you see in either place a comMuNist flag or hear comMuNist rhetoric (Chinese ComMuNist Party anyone!) remember, this is core Indo-European stuff, linguistically, religiously, and substantively. It’s evidence that this ‘anti-western’ pose is merely rhetorical othering. It’s a troll.”

FM applied to Cold War mythology. Communism itself is an IE ideology — the “anti-Western” framing is a troll. The capitalised M-N within “ComMUNIsm” is a visual Twitter device preserved from the original.
