All the rhetoric presented here is about Communist party affiliations during the first half of the 20th century. When was that unconstitutional? You are talking about the Communist "menace" paranoia from 1948, 1952, 1954. It was during the McCarthy witchhunts that the First Amendment was breached repeatedly and this insanity was brought to an end.

You mean to say that they would seek to destroy the U.S. and its Constitution for the sake of worker's rights? Ludicrous! When placed in the correct historical context, these statements, either of personal opinion or organizational policy, reflect the transitional state of labor rights at that historical point. Labor activists were fighting the likes of Henry Ford. Ford built his auto empire under deplorable worker and safety conditions. Ford was so influential in his industrial development (aiding Germany) that Nazi Germany bestowed honors upon Ford with a personal commendation from Adolph Hitler.

Should you wish to address any statement regarding the worker's takeover of the United States - then I would love you to show me the ACLU case docket from that age to support that idea.
