@seaspan, if you like Canada so much, feel free to move there. You should also know that under classical Marxism, socialism is defined as a TRANSITIONAL phase between "capitalism" and communism.

@NeilLewis77, you really are dumb. And it's probably wouldn't even do any good to try to educate you.

I see that someone else already mentioned the Venona papers, which do vindicate McCarthy. I should also mention that McCarthy knew about the Venona Project during his investigation, but he couldn't cite it for reasons of national security, even though it would have helped his cause.

I suggest that you be a bit more skeptical about what your liberal teachers tell you and do a little research.

These horrors, Nazi and Communist, all arose out of European ideas, political and philosophical, being put into practice. Even the Cambodian genocide had its genesis in the cafes of Paris where Pol Pot got his ideas. Hitler got his ideas in the cafes of Vienna. SLATE
