Obviously it also includes anyone who criticizes the power of the state and the status quo. I think we've been unironically in the intersection of 1984, Brave New World, socialism and communism, for the past decade. Just like when you are in the middle of a storm you don't realize how bad it is until you are looking at it from the outside, people will see how much of a dystopia this is in a few decades.



“In a few decades” assumes we gain the perspective to see the storm from the outside, to use your analogy. I certainly hope we gain that perspective and are able to learn from our mistakes until we make them again when the pendulum swings once again.


Whoa, workers have controlled the means of production for the past decade? Awesome!


It's not the only form of communism. At it's core it's about seeing the world through lens of oppressor vs. oppressed. Class communism was about owners and workers, but now it's more about race and gender.


Just as much as they did under communism.
