The βthreatβ of communist takeover was then as the βthreatβ of anti semitism is today - a rhetorical bludgeon used to erode American liberty. He may or may not consider the possibility of a communist takeover in the 1950s as having been a plausible reality.
Imo, to say that we are ruled by βcommunistsβ is I think a bit short sighted. βCommunismβ and βcapitalismβ are both rungs of the ladder far below the actual ideology of whoever engineered the βtake-overβ, and regarding when it occurred, I think convincing cases could be made for dates far earlier than the 50s
Additionally every person who was tried and escaped from McCarthy ended up being a literal spy. Including the investigation that led to his fall from favor. McCarthy was a hero.
So antisemitism really is overtaking the US?
