...was how big business reacted to their morbid fear (and for good reason) of Unions and Labor in America. They brilliantly confounded the two and then by damning communism got Americans to turn against their own, grand, Labor Movement...in truth both advocated many of the same issues, such a workers rights, collective anything, care for the elderly, the sick and the unemployed...more humane sociey and more fairness in dealing with workers and the poor....which is the reason many Americans joined the communist movement....but Russia was the last place on earth to go truly communist...Marx thought England or Germany the more likely candidates...in 1917 Russia was the most backward state in Europe having only recently abandoned feudalism....Marx intended for advanced, industrialized nations to be the first to go communist...the Russians simply exchanged one Tzar for ten thousand Party-member Tzars...and the paternalism and exploitaion continued. --------------------- |
