The article’s basic premise is flawed. The U.S. has effectively been a communist country for more than 100 years.

Agreed. IMHO the roots of communism began with the belief in Unitarianism (that Jesus isn't divine and God is not a Trinity). Once that became in vogue among the wealthy in the west, Karl Marx's Liberation Theology became more attractive and was the next step downward.

Details:
Liberation Theology is based on Marx's dividing up everybody between the have's and the have not's, with the have's always evil and the have not's always the heroes and should be in charge (by having government more involved in our lives so evil capitalism can't control us, at least as Marx put it). Marx both hated religion when it suited him, and loved it when he could use it to push Marxism. So in Liberation Theology, Jesus is redefined as being just a poor member of the have not's Who was never divine -- the kind of person who would embrace more government to protect the poor.

That’s right. Ever since Wilson and his progressive agenda with the 16th through 19th amendments, we have slidden into this heavy government handiness. The FBI has become a KGB operative that has a free hand on intimidation and corruption. All the abc agencies need to be eliminated along with the amendments created under Wilson.
