How did you get that from my post? Not wanting consumer tariffs when inflation has been high is pro-communism?

Ask more widely. People want reasonable services from their government, and tighter regulation of markets, with elimination of profit-taking middlemen.

They want democratic socialism.

Meanwhile, the right wing has been telling them that public libraries and public schools and everything good except profit -- is communism.

So... socialism?

People don't "essentially want communism" by advocating for socialist policy. Serious economists will tell you that it is impossible to transition America's free market into a planned economy. We're capitalist through thick and thin.
