2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

The term 'commie' is a slur (so get used to it, you fucking pinko). It is frequently associated with red-baiting, and specifically with McCarthyism. As red-baiters would have it, anyone who has ever been a member of a communist party or a member of known communist front group is a commie; anyone who has proclaimed themselves to be a communist is also a commie. The more vaguely defined 'communist sympathizers' are generally considered to be fellow travelers (or useful idiots), and are not included here.
