If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck... this old footage wasn't all that informative, but it's purpose was more to galvanize the public against the boogie man of the 20th century. (via Cynical-C)

Ha ha. Communism was not and is not a "boogie man". It is a murderous ideology that has deliberately killed tens of millions, and ruthlessly controls more than a billion from womb to grave today. Try mocking Xi in China, see how far you get.
Quite so in the Soviet Union, China, and the Eastern Bloc, when it existed. In the US, just voicing an idea that was anywhere near leftist could get your life ruined. There was never a chance that ideology would take control here. Communism was a revolt against authoritarianism, and as long as we keep a democracy, we can talk about all kinds of political ideas.
