RE: The Monster Has Returned... Red... Stop the Reds while you still can... [History Repeats]
McCarthyism failed because it was a witch hunt. I am a strong believer that "Good ideas don't require force". Communism failed because in the long run like many other things it is unworkable and just approaches corruption, stagnation, and other issues from a different direction. Communism failed because it could not sustain itself...
To truly defeat it for good we'd need to teach critical thinking, and TEACH HISTORY.
I'm fond lately of saying HISTORY is EDITED by the winners. I still believe there is TRUTH out there... yet EDITING paints it as something else.
It is funny how the Russians are not even close to Communist now, but the same rhetoric is being used.
We have people in our country blindly pushing for communism, socialism, etc without BOTHERING to study history and truly consider why things fail, or don't fail.
They will get it right THIS TIME. (sarcasm)
Yet it doesn't tend to work out that way. The cycles repeat...
