What's even more ironic is that modern Communist subversion seems rooted in the ideals of individualism, which do not exist at all under Communism. If you live in a Commie state and are good at something the State needs done, you have no choice but to do it. If you have any talent at all, and that talent can glorify your Commie government, say hello to your new job for life doing that thing. Nobody ever asked those Soviet Olympians if they wanted to get dosed with steroids and god knows what else. Though they probably did, because the alternative was death or a life of hard labor.
They sent their cosmonauts up in rockets that everyone knew full well were faulty, but people were scared to raise any kind alarm. When the ship flamed out, it was a surprise to no one, not even the guy piloting. In fact, he volunteered for the mission because if he didn't go, they would have sent his good friend Yuri Gargarin up instead. Even someone as esteemed as Gargarin was not immune from being sacrificed if it meant giving the Reds even one extra squirt in their Cold War pissing match with America.
