    I’m sorry you’re tired, but a lot of newer users aren’t aware.

    I don’t think it’s appropriate anywhere, aside from historical contexts. Especially next to “positive” things that have little to no relation to it.

      Sorry I didn’t see you’re an anti-communist. Your view makes perfect sense now. Thanks for the honesty!
