what lessons do history teach us about things of that nature? certainly it wasnt because they d or had an issue with tyranny or dictatorship, for they themselves were tyrants…
Right wingers are inherently opposed to Socialism and Communism.
Their ideologies are diametrically opposed.

The term fellow traveler or fellow traveller refers to a person who sympathizes with the beliefs of an organization or cooperates in its activities without maintaining formal membership in that particular group. In the early Soviet Union the approximate term was used without negative connotation to describe writers and artists sympathetic to the goals of the Russian Revolution who declined to join the Communist Party. The English-language phrase came into vogue in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s as a pejorative term for a sympathizer of Communism or particular Communist states, who was nonetheless not a “card-carrying member” of a Communist party.
McCarthyism is the political action of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence. The term specifically describes activities associated with the period in the United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting roughly from the late 1940s to the late 1950s and characterized by heightened fears of communist influence on American institutions and espionage by Soviet agents. Originally coined to criticize the anti-communist pursuits of U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy, “McCarthyism” soon took on a broader meaning, describing the excesses of similar efforts. The term is also now used more generally to describe reckless, unsubstantiated accusations, as well as demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries.
Maurice Bishop was the son of Rupert and Alimenta Bishop. He was educated at the London School of Economics and had an extensive background in studies of the black power movement. Returning to Grenada, he became active in politics. In 1973 he became head of the Marxist New Jewel Movement (NJM) political party. He was elected to parliament, and for several years he held the position of leader of the opposition in the Grenadian House of Representatives, opposing the government of Prime Minister Eric Gairy and his Grenada United Labour Party (G.U.L.P.).
Bishop began to build a close relationship with Cuba after he took power. He initiated a number of projects, most significantly, the building of a new international airport on the island’s southern tip which was later renamed in his honour and memory in May 2009. Financing and labor for the construction of the airport came from Cuba, although most of the airport’s infrastructure was designed by European and North American consultants. American President Ronald Reagan accused Grenada of intending to use the new airport’s long “airstrip” as a waypoint for Soviet military aircraft.

I live in the San Jose, California area and every vietnamese people here in this area is an anti communism. They are bashing me for going to vietnam to get married. They said why can’t you find a wife here like all of us did, well how can I find someone if all of the girls in town rejected me. There’s a violent leader in the anti communism group named Ly Tong who threatened to kill me and my new wife and my whole family if I still go to vietnam to get married. I’m not listening to them and I’m going ahead with getting married in vietnam. My whole family is thinking of relocating to Green Ville, South Carolina since it is quieter there. What would be the best way to deal with these violent anti communism people ?? They are mad and against communism when the vietnam war has been over for 35 years. I’m a 2nd generation vietnamese and I don’t care about the vietnam war or what happended during it, I just want to live my life. I taped all the phone threats and I kept all the threat letters those people sent to me. Would the police be able to help me ?? This is true and I’m not making it up.
Yes, when people threaten to kill you, in America we report that to the police. That’s a crime. You could also use it to get a restraining order against them as well. If they are threatening to kill you in Vietnam…nothing could be done about that.
Yes I would move. I don’t know exactly if I’d pick South Carolina specifically but I’d move out of the area. Of course a job would be important so I’d move to wherever I can get a job. That’s just me personally though.
Actually your response is quite odd for 2nd generation. Traditionally 2nd generation are completely against everything having to do with their culture. They don’t want to have a traditional wedding, speak the language or anything. 3rd generation embraces the tradition.
I’m not sure what anticommunism has to do with any of it though. Going to Vietnam to find a bride isn’t a communist trait and most Asian countries believe the man rules the roost so your wife being communist would have no bearing. I’d try telling the people that when they start on anticommunism speeches. She’d be American after marrying you and wouldn’t be communist at all.
In this set of clips, Americans are shown how to spot Communists. For example: “If a person consistently reads and advocates the views expressed in a Communist publication, he may be a Communist. If a person defends the activities of Communist nations while consistently attacking the domestic and foreign policies of the United States, she may be a Communist.[...] If a person does all these things, over a period of time, he MUST be a Communist!” The video also goes on to demonstrate the evils of Communists stealing one’s daughter away to work on a collective farm.

He died fighting communism, and is seen on a lot of poser teenagers T-shirts.
That guy was for Communism if were thinking of the right person… long hair, hat with a star, beard and mustache? that was Che Guevara. You may mistaken him, he was Communist.
I think you meant anti-fascism. Both are extreme leftist positions. They both are anti-liberty (which is why the Democratic party is so supportive).
It’s always been hiding in the background since Communism and Communist ideas have always been supported in American academia and the true murderous history has always been either whitewashed or simply ignored.
