Why is there so much anti-communism in the U.S.? McCarthyism

Why is there so much anti-communism in the U.S.? What's the story behind McCarthyism?

Anti-communism is very prevalent. It is a part of our culture. The root of it is: people who own the means of production and the politicians like capitalism. They would have to give up a lot under socialism. So they created a myth that the CPUSA is violent and undemocratic. On the contrary, we believe in a peaceful revolution, with true democracy - political, economic, and social.

@nocturnalx5 Your point on the need of any other human is mute for we life in a heavily organised society that even in capitalism gives no true freedom. A man sets up a business he needs people to buy from and also sell from hence he needs people hence the full of humanity is weak in your eyes.

I've studied communism.My father was born under the fist of communism.

Communist sympathizers are weak minded conformists. A free man doesn't want your 'perfect' society because he doesn't like anything about you. You suck at life, and have surely bestowed great disappointment upon your own mother. A free man doesn't need any other human to dictate what they do with their lives.

Ideological wars CANNOT be won. But post-mortem communists are a wonderful thing.

@themaclady you obviously didn't read my message did you. I made a vaild point backed up by my explanation, while you sit there and type "its wrong" with no explanation at all. At least I can formalise a decent answer.

@DELTAFORCE851 You are wrong, the dictatorship of a whole class does not mean the dictatorship of one individual. Karl Marx did not predict a communist revolution in the areas where the socialist reovolutions happened, he thought that a heavilly industrialized democracy was the best place for a revolution and of course it is unwise to lead a revolution in a country if the majority of the people don't support your cause. It is possible to achieve communism through enlightenment and other things

@PesiCool Marx himself believed that a dictatorship of proleteriat would be necessary to reconstruct existing society into a communist utopia. Lenin practically understood that the Communist Party must be a jacobin political organization in order to mobolize the masses in revolt against capital. Therefore, you can not move toward a communist society without the existance of a totalitarian state as an intermediary. Fascism has resulted in the deaths of less people than communism.

@DELTAFORCE851 Unlike other conservatives you probably encounter on youtube my political statements do not contradict themselves. I mean exactly what I write. Therefore, to make my statement logically coherent the government was correct in imprisoning individuals who were spreading a dangerous ideology even though those actions may have been protected by freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. Communism can't spread if its advocates are dead or in jail.

@TheMaskhadov Radical nationalism is the ideological counterweight to international communism. When did I compare the ideology of communism to the physical nature of a foreign nation? Targeting subversive and dissident political opinion is a necessary component of any domestic counter-insurgency strategy targeting Marxist or Anarchist political groups. It is necessary despite what the constitution says - because sometimes to defend the constitution certain liberties must be temporarily set aside

@JimmyFormerMarine btw.. if you think capitalism is ohh-so-innocent and beautiful, there are literally over 1.5 billion deaths directly linked to capitalism and by that I mean the ideology itself.

[PesiCool]

@JimmyFormerMarine lol...

So tell me. What ideology would you prefer then?

(btw, it's a very idiotic thing to state that a whole ideology which has never been done state-wise is responsible for the murders of a few dictators who in fact wouldn't even have had power under true communism)

Please look at what the ideology itself is and you might be surprised. Communists are anti-fascists, anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-government, pro-freedom, etc...
