We need to make it a habit to refer to leftists as “Useful Idiots.”
Communism doesn’t die because it’s a great con for the young and naive. The cure is education in history, which is why commies take so much effort to erase and rewrite history.
That’s funny. Whenever seeing one of those commercials with the Mrs., my last remark is; See, the package is new and improved, but smaller!

“When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself anti-Fascism. My own belief, more than once set afloat from this spot, is that it will take us, soon or late, into the stormy waters of Fascism. To be sure, that Fascism is not likely to be identical with the kinds on tap in Germany, Italy and Russia; indeed, it is very apt to come in under the name of anti-Fascism.”

We are now seeing Khrushchev’s prediction that they “would bury us” come to fruition.
Whom did they survey, Ivy League sophomores? I really doubt the number is that high. And if it is, I totally doubt that the respondents actually understand what communism is. In the words of the immortal Ronaldus Magnus:
A communist is someone who reads Marx. An anti-communist is someone who understands Marx. Ronald Reagan
