About Communism, people here didn’t take as much to it since the issue of making a living wasn’t as impossible as it was in Russia and China.
In China the upper classes were incompetent about driving out the Colonial powers that were exploiting China and in Russia serfdom was holding the Russians hostage and there was no way for workers to clean up their conditions or end up making a real living out of the pittance they were paid.
So really, what on earth was there for the people other than Communism?
In the US, making a living wasn’t impossible at the time and lots of people were living middle class lifestyles through having a solid trade and most people wanted independence, not interference from government.
Serfdom in Russia was abolished in 1861, several years before we ended slavery in USA.
