Not sure I understand why that's regulated to boomers. Is it to be assumed that younger generations think communism is good?

That’s quite a logical leap; it’s possible that boomers are particularly susceptible to anti-communist ideology without any implication that younger generations are pro-communist. That said, I believe there is some evidence that Millennials in particular have shifted further left with age.

Tell that to Eastern Europe, see how far it gets you.

TIL the Iowa Writer’s Workshop was used to fight communism abroad and domestically from the 1940s through the 1970s, and received substantial funding from the CIA to do so.
