What you say is true about the commies. However, read up on history between 1914 and 1945. YOu might be surprised to learn that

1) the NYT sent a commie reporter (Reed) to cover events in Russia during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II. I am shocked that his reporting was pro communist. This lead to funding of Lenin from people in the US who were, ahem, progressive. You might be surprised to learn that a large part of the funding of the Russian revolution and the subsequent murder of millions of Russians was provided by US citizens.

2) No one seems to notice that FDR had several communist sympathizers in his administration (including his wife). It was FDR who coined the phrase of Stalin as Uncle Joe. Do a little research. You will find that the origin of all big government in the US originated under him.

3) Current revisionist history holds that communist witch hunts occurred during the 50's. You might be surprised to learn that in fact, quite a few were in positions of the US government. THe liberal media sank their teeth into Sen. McCarty's behavior to discredit the central idea he advanced: that the communists had indeed penetrated the US government.

4) Take a look at popular media reporting during the 30's. You will see pro soviet and pro Stalin propaganda. This is all the more incredible when you realize that the US government and media knew of the starvation in the Ukraine, of Stalin's purges, of the liquidation of the "kulaks", of Stalins murder of Russian Orthodox clergy. However, the reality did not fit with the pro communist media spin at the time...nor does it to this day.
