He was 100 percent correct and identified the problem in the cradle.

LSU0358 I suggest you learn where he got the names from, that was the FBI.

And every name he finally gave was later found out to be KGB agent, which was confirmed when the Soviet Union fell.

The FBI is the one that told him every number given and it came to a point he told them to give me the list of the ones you know without a doubt are agents of the Soviet Union.

Those names are somehow in the files in Russia. .

This is just so incorrect its not even funny.

Ambrose's biography on Eisenhower discusses McCarthy at length. McCarthy did not get all of his names from the FBI. A large portion of them where made up out of thin air.

none of those things are “communism”. i’m talking about seizing personal property and the means of production and replacing it with totalitarian central planning. the middle 50% will never get on board with that.

and calling everything liberal and woke “communist” is like black people using the race card. it loses any meaning when you call everything communist.

McCarthy was very specific about his absurd claims. He wasn’t talking about Americans who developed communist sympathies. He was talking about actual Soviet agents.

No matter how much you may despise Mamdani or AOC, they are just wrongheaded, ambitious politicians…

Every single one of these things is communism. Communism is about more than property and economics.

Communism seeks to destroy the existing society so that it can be rebuilt in communism.

I feel like at some point even a dunce like you has to admit that it's no longer ambition when you are the most powerful man in one of the most powerful cities on the planet.

It's amateur hour on here sometimes. Polititards, on the left and right, love their buzzwords. Communism is the new one for the right, joining fascism on the left.

When complex government structures like "fascism" and "communism" are repeated one too many times in the wrong braindead context, they become meaningless and just a catch-all for idiots who are way too emotionally attached to politics.

You can't prove shite without an honest media.

he New York Times was the basis for the vast majority of "facts" in those days.

Remember Social Media, prior to Musk buying Twitter. We were not allowed to tell the truth.

He was actually too late. The fact that Alger Hiss was at such a high level at Yalta is beyond the pale.
