But beginning in the 1960s with the civil rights movement, race was made a potent means of incitement. Communist-infiltrated academia tore down the icons of early America and repainted our Founding Fathers as racists and slaveowners.

That is incorrect.

Communist infiltration in the U.S. began with the creation of the CPUSA in 1919 and gained momentum in the 1930s, especially in black communities and universities. By the 1940s and 1950s, it had even reached parts of the government.

What we saw in the 1960s was simply the culmination of decades of indoctrination and infiltration.

The positive side is that communism inherently fails, and its flaws are evident even in its early stages of growth. A clear example is today’s universities, which charge exorbitant tuition fees but can barely disguise their indoctrination programs under a thin, cheap veneer of education.

I have worked with communists (people similar to Bernie Sanders). They are always completely incompetent at everything they do.

jack isnt necessarily wrong. he is just pointing out one data point where race was amplified more than before. the switch from emphasizing race instead of class as a destabilization tool

for a complete assay about the history of communism from jack , and in video format , see my profile page for links.

he documents communism would not have taken hold anywhere without Americans communists enabling it .
