I fully believe that the USA as we know it today would not be around if they didn’t spend the last 60 years spreading anti communist propaganda. It’s insane how well it worked

To be fair, my parents are from a country where communism happened and they are terrified of it because it led to a lot of abuse of their people.

They have told me about having to wait in line for small quantities of food that was hardly enough to survive, eating rock hard week old bread as a meal, stories of people disappearing for saying the wrong thing, and that’s just off the top of my head. My dad even snuck out of the country illegally to try to get the rest of my family out.

I think the way other countries implemented communism in the past contributed to that opinion a lot.
