@happyuk06 You missed out the first part of that. It's "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need". The people who don't intend to do much work are called the idle rich.

@zippgun1 You act as if being accused of being homosexual (which, admittedly, at the time was a much worse fate than it is today) was on par with being accused of being a communist. It wasn't. Questioning someone's sexuality would have, at the time, worst case scenario, ruined a political career, whereas, on rare occasion, suspected communists would be put to death for treason (rarely of course). Being accused of homosexuality was nowhere close to as bad as being accused of communism.

Communism was a very real threat. Its fundamental doctrine is "to each person according to his need". This essentially means that regardless of how much effort and work one puts in, one can get whatever one wants and how much one wants.

This concept is unsurprisingly favoured by those who don't intend to do much work. Such are the fundamental evils of such communist doctrine.

This looks like Germans already had a grip on the US society shortly after ww2.Such nagging to instigate people one against the other can be very disruptive for the society.It keeps the people busy with idle talk and activities.Causing them to neglect important topics.

At this time Germans were very busy infiltrating the US society. See my 2 videos

"Concealed Messages: The Allies" on German propaganda.

German snitchers were operating till 1942 and immediately after 1945 relaunched their net.

@lenachristoffersen McCarthy was NOT a liberal, he wasn't "demonized" he was run out of office with the TRUTH, he NEVER came anywhere CLOSE to truth, and destroyed many good, innocent people including Alger Hiss. Chambers was NOT helping the Russians.

@zippgun1 In his early days, unfortunately. He moved far away from McCarthy and realized how dreadfully wrong he was. That he was also a victim of a very similar scumbag in JE Hoover is very telling, Bobby should have had the guts to stand up to both of them far, far earlier.

@zippgun1 JFK's anti-communism wasn't remotely "realism", and DID fade toward the end of his life, quite possibly why he was killed. Communism isn't the devil, fascism as represented by McCarthy was. McCarthy was NOT a good man, he was with the possible exceptions of Hoover and Reagan and Ayn Rand among the WORST people our nation's ever produced. There was no "threat" from "fellow travelers", the mass killings had NOTHING to do with Marxism, your imagined state dept "communists" killed NOBODY.

@zippgun1 More incredible LIES. He was NOT attacked by the media, a FEW in the media finally had the guts to tell the truth about him after fawning for years. There was ZERO unjust lying about him, and to claim there was more than he doled out is to not even ATTEMPT honesty. I don't give a shit if he was gay or not. His views were absolutely NOT liberal, and there was never ANYTHING remotely "deadly" about Communism. His red-baiting lies WERE deadly.

@zippgun1 The claims of "riddled with Soviet agents" are PROVEN lies, and calling those who saw the destruction of capitalism and had decency towards other human beings enough to see the merits of socialism "Soviet sympathizers" is an intentional and despicable lie.

The situation was NOT improved. Our nation is far, far, FAR worse off because of these low-lifes. We continue to see both major parties lurch to the right, as 46 million Americans suffer in preventable poverty.

@zippgun1 IF he was intelligent, it only serves to make his evil actions more inexcusable. The "communist issue" WAS properly addressed by having people THINK FOR THEMSELVES. The idea of "government loyalty boards" is a slap in the face to the founding principles of this nation, is vomiting upon the idea of freedom. He didn't give a SHIT about loyalty to this nation, he cared only about loyalty to conservatism and capitalism. He defended greed, not freedom.
