Have you been drinking? Perhaps sampling some of your green environment?

No, I've studied the history of the communist movemint, something of which you are clearly unaware. Even at the beginning, it was financed and supported by wealthy European and American members of the investor class.

But as for documentation, I give you Orwell, where he details precisely this relationship in a little-known quote written in 1938 from Homage to Catalonia:

In reality, it was the Communists above all others who prevented revolution in Spain. Later, when the Right Wing forces were in full control, the Communists showed themselves willing to go a great deal further than the Liberals in hunting down revolutionary leaders.

[Snip]

Between the Communists and those who claim to stand to the Left of them there is a real difference. The Communists hold that Fascism can be beaten by alliance with sections of the capitalist class (the Popular Front); their opponents hold that this maneuver simply gives Fascism new breeding-grounds. The question has got to be settled; to make the wrong decision may be to land ourselves in for centuries of semi-slavery.

You've missed the chapter linking any communism to Arnie and you've also just walked off the deep end. You outta fess up about your own socialist tendencies, it would be good for your soul.
