Communism is just one implementation of socialist principles.
I think the USA isn't really able to fight socialism because they're very socialist themselves:
- Socialists had already taken over the USA before the 30's, creating policies that resulted in the great depression and then using it as an excuse to create more policies that made the depression last until after the war. After the war the USA only did better because the other industrial countries had been bombed so much.
- When the USA joined WW2 they gave massive subsidies to the sovjets to fight the nazi's and Mao to fight the Japanese
- More than half the USA budget is spend on pure socialist programs
Seems pretty socialist to me.
The current developments are just symptoms of western society becoming more and more progressive.
well USA always bid on several parties, USA vs URSS was very clear, but being a bit conspiranoic the 3 facts you mention could be in order; but USA doesnt work as singular country and have several parties working; republicans could be taken as collectivists in a way, but they are closest to nationalism and liberalism in political ideology; Democrats since the civil war tend to go to the left now having true socialist marxist among the ranks... Obama was accussed of being communist, and maybe he does in the gramcian side, but i cannot call trump communist since he is on the other side.
we cannot fall into ISM by declaring communist some people that make social policies in a country that tend to the other side.
