I know Trumpists, who tried their best to “offset the losses caused by communist boycotts”.

Boycotts are often called “communist” in the former Soviet bloc by right wingers, who had to change the tone of their critique of communism. Out with the arrest quotas, out with the secret police, out with the forced labor camps, welcome to crying middle aged women complaining how they couldn’t buy Adidas shoes under communism as a child. This started so seep into “the west” thanks to the popularity of the Orbán regime with post-fascists. The reality was much more complicated, while sometimes western products were “banned” (they couldn’t be imported, but the ownership of theirs were loosely enforced if that was also banned), other times the west also refused to sell their products there. Also sometimes it was easy to skirt around such bans, in diplomat shops, all you needed is some foreign currency ,which was provided by the likes of the Hungarian corporation Novotrade, as they needed to exchange the dollars they got from the west to forint to pay their gamedevs.
