Anti-Communism is an Imperialist value and tool. The US Empire has used it to sabotage and destroy Socialist governments that were working and popular with the people living under them.
The CIA and State department function as Anti-Communist world police. They have committed atrocities and then used propaganda to blame communists.
This is not to say that all socialist governments have been perfect. But learning the truth about what blame lies at their feet versus what the US Empire is guilty of will open your eyes.
It is important for you to understand this history in order to see through this empire’s lies and propaganda now. We are all being lied to every day by the government and much of the US media.
