Yes. Communist revolutionaries are scum by definition. They are the enemies of my country, and the enemies of my country are evil by definition.

No DF.

When I joined the US Army I vowed to protect and defend the constitution.

Not an ideology, not a flag but a set of concrete rules for a pluralistic society. By it’s very definition it must allow things, at least at the level of discourse, that are abhorrent to it’s ideals,. This is why the Nazi’s can march & why this one guy is still out there every day trying to sell Trotskyite newspapers (Socialist Worker. Funny folks to this socialist.) down on State Street. I occasionally buy a copy when the Onion isn’t satyrical enough ;)

There is enough evil in this world. Having a different idea of how to accomplish the ideals of this nation is not evil in itself. Violence, yes. Ideas, no.
