America's biggest problem is brainwashing and propaganda. All my uncles and aunts who grew up in the 80s, often talk about how everything taught in schools and shared in the mainstream media was that communists are the bad guys. That communism and socialism are devilish, and bla bla bla.
Idk if you've ever seen the film 'Clue' but one of the victims of blackmail is being blackmailed bc (and I quote) 'she had friends who were...socialists' *cue gasps of horror from other characters*
It seems like this was quite a normal way to think
No, I haven't seen it. But it sure sounds like the America we all know. Where they demonise socialists and communists, and celebrate fascists and genocidal maniacs. I can totally imagine it.
