What happened to the fear of communism (red scare)?

Here is an article that I wrote just recently, this is an exclusive for my fellow esteemers, as I have not even posted this on my own blog as of right now. An exclusive straight from my analytical mind to yours.
Enjoy!!!

Ayn Rand once said, "There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the same ultimate end: Communism proposes to enslave men by force, Socialism - by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide".

Young people are being brainwashed, and they are being fed misinformation that will prove detrimental to America’s future.  Our Universities are teaching collectivism, central planning, and communism to our impressionable youth, and it is going to sink us as a country if we do not get a handle on it.  What is contributing to this communist push in our educational institutions?  We executed Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for passing information related to the atomic bomb to the Russians.  This happened at the height of Soviet/communist paranoia in America with figures like J Edgar Hoover seeking to eradicate communism from America and showing no mercy in doing so.  Where did the shift occur? We can probably start with academia, and the leftist revolutionary mindset that has consumed our academic institutions.   University professors are generally left wing extremists that bring a hatred for America into the classroom and this ideology is adapted by many students that don’t already have an ideological foundation.  If this were not bad enough, you also have students and faculty that are harassed, ridiculed, and sometimes even attacked for sporting an ideology that is contrary to the official academia narrative.  Capitalism is mischaracterized and demonized, and communism is mischaracterized and glorified.  They teach that socialism and communism are two different things, when in reality both strive to achieve the same goal, they just represent different stages of the process.

so·cial·ism/ˈsōSHəˌlizəm/ a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the com

com·mu·nism /ˈkämyəˌnizəm/ a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs of the community as a whole.

    Socialism acts as a mode of transition that takes place as a country pulls away from free markets and capitalist principles, and starts moving toward communism.  Socialism is communism economic model, but as one proceeds to communism a political model is introduced in addition to the economic model.  Ayn rand once stated, “There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism -- by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide”.  Communism was responsible for the deaths of 100 million people in the 20th century, and the term socialism is used as a strawman in order to direct attention away from communism murderous past.  In some cases, communism is pushed straight up, and many students when asked about the practicality of capitalism as opposed to communism advocate for communism because it appears “fair” and capitalism will be viewed as the bad guy because the perception of some that sees only greed and oppression.

    Communism fails to achieve the end that it apparently advocates for, that being the elimination of social classes.  This failure is evidenced by the fact that this ideology creates an oligarchy, or an elite government class that rules over the common people or peasants.  This absolute power given to the elite class does not have the best interests of the people in mind, and the iron fist that rules becomes greater as the stealing, murdering, and oppression snowballs.  When the people stand up against the tyranny via revolutionary tactics, and refuse to fall in line, mass genocide is the result.  Socialism/Communism has never resulted in prosperity for average citizens and it always ends in a bloodbath.  Capitalism has made the American economy what it is today, and is only economic model that has the potential to create true individual wealth, and increase significantly one’s standard of living through incentive, and competition, not greed.
