Ha, you want to rewind the discussion 60 years now? Get back to the present...the commies are “in country” now...running the Federal government. The destruction of the USA financially & socially is very “anti-American”. (Oh, and yes we should have confronted Hitler & Japan!) ;-)
I do have to say, even in current-year USA it’s not really that close to a USSR style command economy.
It’s way closer than it should be, but it’s still incredibly powerful.
