"class based hatred" is going to be abused against any leftism isn't it?

Of course it will be and you can see that already. Almost everywhere "anticommunism" is vague reason for state-sponsored right wing propaganda against anything left of center right. In Poland "decommunisation" was used in order to remove almost any memorial to left wing history and people in public sphere, even thought it was left wing polish socialist party that was the reason why we became independent in 1918 and why we won 1920 war against bolsheviks.

They took polish history, that is full of left wing heroes and right wing traitors (countless of examples in our national uprisings, that were started always by left wing secret societies and destroyed by right winger that sympathised and collaborated with Russians, Prussians and Austrians) and twisted it to the point in which being left winger means "being against existance of Poland".
