August 24 is the anniversary of the Communist Control Act of 1954. By a strange coincidence, thiis also marks the date that US president Franklin Roosevelt ordered the secret police to investigate communists. Of course both of these actions follow the Espionage and Sedition Acts from earlier in the century.

The 1st amendment that the US loves to crow about so much has this to say:

Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Yet all this was done with pretty much unanimous support from representatives of the totalitarian regime. Suppression of the left’s political agency was clearly the desired outcome. And it worked.

In 1912, The Socialist Party of America, held 12% of votes. There were actual socialists in government. In 2023, there are two right wing parties. They differ in some cultural aspects, but one thing that they can certainly agree upon is that Socialism should be condemned. This is as intended. A century of brainwashing will absolutely bring about this result.
