I would sharply disagree with. Communism is dead. Marxism predicted an industrial paradise free from work and class based on the humanistic progress of man. No one takes this seriously today. The Left has replaced Marxism with the irrationality of Post Modernism, and Post-Modernism has its primary roots in Fascism rather than Humanism or the Enlightenment. In truth, Post Modernism means Post Marxism, and in Post Modernism, Nature replaces man. Even Gorbachev is in charge of the Green Cross International these days. The Commies have become greens, and thereby have switched over to Fascism. Environmentalism is running America into the ground every time you buy gas, groceries, rent, etc. - even buy a home - where up to 50% of housing costs these days are tied up in environmental regulations.

I don't think that Communism is dead or that the "Red Scare" (as the critics of the investigations called it) was hollow.

The critics of HCUAA and investigations into international subversive activity in America said that it was scare mongering.

What is BULLCRAP from leftists that the oceans will rise 20 feet, 5 hurricanes will be ongoing in both hemispheres, etc...

I'm calling out the Green Scare as a conspiracy to defraud Western nations of their capital and redistribute the wealth to third world dictatorships (who "haven't used their share of the world's resources") while some moneychangers (like Al Gore) stand to skim $$$ off every carbon credit transfer. PS that image was from Al Gore's book. They are whipping up falsified hysteria. Which is what they accused Sen. McCarthy of (and the KGB files backed up the claims).

Communism is seen as a means on control, not “equality”. Animal Farm posits that some animals are equal than others. The billionaire politburo want it to remain that way. Not every billionaire is a Marxist but among the loudest voices calling for Socialism are numerous billionaires (who won’t be giving up their holdings).
