Why Has America Been So Anti-Communist?

Realistically, the Cold War had almost nothing to do with the actual philosophy of Communism. If anything, it had to do with command econommy vs market economy, but even then, the US has continued to face off with both Russia and China after they transitioned from command economies to state capitalist. At heart, it's a geographical conflict for resources and power. Russia and the US want control over the Middle East so they can threaten to turn off the oil tap for one another. China and the US both want to control the South China Sea; China wants it to maintain economic security in case of a war & the US wants it to keep the rest of the world secure from Chinese meddling in trade. Russia wants control over eastern Europe so it can have a buffer between Moscow and NATO. NATO wants control over eastern Europe so it can sell shit to them and also use them as a buffer state.

I can think of 94 million reasons...

that being the number of people killed by communist governments via executions, hunger, famine, war, forced labor, etc. in the last 100 years...

Because Merica is all about making the world safe for the Fortune 500. Been that way for over 100 years. And Marxism is anti capitalist which makes them enemies by default.

[quote]I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

For context that statement is from 1935.

Ask those who’ve fled places like N. Korea , Viet Nam China, Cuba, Russia or any other communist country. They might have the answers you seek.

Have you witnessed the Communist Barack Obama and his adoring sycophants within the media ?

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for s/he is known and carries his/her banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his/her sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; s/he speaks in accents familiar to his/her victims, and s/he wears their face and their arguments, s/he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men (and women). S/He rots the soul of a nation, s/he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, s/he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

― Marcus Tullius Cicero--

“The Communists’ chief purpose is to destroy every form of independence—independent work, independent action, independent property, independent thought, an independent mind, or an independent man. Conformity, alikeness, servility, submission and obedience are necessary to establish a Communist slave-state.” – Ayn Rand-

“Civilization has been a continuous struggle of the individual or groups of individuals against the State and even against society; that is, against the majority subdued and hypnotized by the State and State worship.” – Emma Goldman-

“The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” – John Stuart Mill-

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." -Ronald Reagan-

Because our country wasn't founded on the principles of communism....not to mention its an evil system that is responsible for the deaths of thousands.

Historically it was called the Cold War. The US, and the Western World would not have survived the Stalin-Mao ear, had it not been for the Western Alliance built by the US. Western/Northern Europe, even extreme socialist countries felt safe with that arrangement.

Both China and the USSR/Eastern Europe suffered tremendously under the Stalin/Mao regimes.

Today, there is no communism to speak of, with a few minor non-expansionist exceptions.

The military industrial complex, of the world. The 3 stars of the Washington d.c. flag represent, religion = Rome, money= London Square, military enforcement = Washington D.C., fact.

Perhaps go back and look at the foot reels of
East Germans risking everything to get over or dig tunnels beneath the barbed wire in East Berlin. I suspect you're asking questions you already know the answer to.

I'm pro commie ...if done right

Because the Vietnam war says so

None at all, anymore, the recent resurgence of interest among millenials notwithstanding
