I think "Communist" is essentially a code word for "Labor Union"
#8
Ok, there seems to be some consensus that "Communism" is, at least to some degree, a code word for "Labor Unions."

So, when did it become a code word?

Was it in 1933 when Hitler solidified power after the conveniently timed Reichstag fire (the German 911), blamed the "Communists," banned Unions, sent Union leaders to concentration camps, seized all Union funds, and replaced collective bargaining with regulation by the new government?

Or was it earlier?
