One interesting thing I've noticed is that some people see flaggers as "Communists". However there are smarter people than me pointing out that using your power for something as flagging is far from communism, as not allowing flags would be regulating.

What's your guess, do people honestly see flaggers as communists (for "stealing" rewards from "successful" people) or are they just trying to come up with insults to make the flagger look as bad as possible?
