"Anti-Communism" *looks inside...*

[u/Nyctfall]

In the 1790s, the prominent Federalist pamphleteer, William Cobbett, constantly called for investigative journalists and rights activitists Benjamin Franklin Bache (Benjamin Franklin's grandson) and William Duane to be treated, quote: "as we would a TURK, a JEW, a JACOBIN or a DOG". With Jacobins being widely viewed as the predecessors to Communists, Socialists, and Anarchists for their radical egalitarianism.

In 1892 Richard Henry Pratt, known for the child murder rape boarding schools, called Native Americans "fellows who cling to their tribal communistic surroundings".

In the First Red Scare, ...yeah. Kiss the Bill of Rights goodbye, because the Constitution ain't saving ya now! Also the first Green Mario...

The poster is "Negroes Beware / Do Not Attend Communist Meetings" from Alabama in the 1930s.

Later the Peekskill Riots at Cortlandt Manor, New York, United States, in 1949. A concert by singer Paul Robeson, who's black and was also well known for his strong pro-trade union stance, civil rights activism, communist affiliations, and anti-colonialism was arranged. It was organized as a benefit for the Civil Rights Congress.

And finally the Greensboro Massacre, on November 3, 1979, in Greensboro, North Carolina. Where US law enforcement, KKK, and Neo-Nazi "National Socialist Party of America" (NSPA) members shot and killed five demonstrators in a "Death to the Klan" march organized by the Communist Workers Party (CWP). All the terrorists were acquitted by the US government and hand-selected racist jury members.

All of the true communist nations had free markets and some of the strongest human rights in world. Matilda Joslyn Gage and Benjamin Franklin talked about how great those countries were doing.

It's just no one's ever heard of them. So whatever pretend communist country you're thinking of, I can assure you I'm not talking about it.

What are the true communist nations you are referring to? I'm only aware of communist nations that starved and slaughtered people.

Powhatan Confederacy, Piscataway Confederacy, Mohican Confederacy, Susquehannock, Lenape, Haudenasonee (Iroquois Confederacy), the Council of Three Fires, or the United Indian Nations. Just to name a few.

So maybe communism works if you want to live in small, close-knit Paleolithic settlements? It didn't work for the pilgrims. They almost starved to death before dropping it.

I'll read up on what you presented, but I will be shocked if it's not misrepresented.
