Why didn't the US want communism?

Answer 1

Because we wanted freedom not something blurring on the lines of slavery.

A2: Although communism is effective, it is unpopular among the people.

So it ussually requires some sort of pre-established basis for it. And a large force of army or police to enforce fear factor. Since the country was united with all the people fighting together in an army, a communism was unthinkable. It would have torn the country apart, if it had gone anywhere. It probably would have resulted in the supporters just being kicked out.

Once a democracy is established, people will rarely want to switch to a communism. If they do, if was because a demcoracy was an utter failure and fell to ruins.

As for blurring on the lines of slvary, I find this to be wrong. America still managed to have slaves? In fact, Russia, a communist nation, beat Amerida to ridding of slaves by about 150 years.

I find the lack of perspective on different types of government arrogant. All government types have their advantages.

Answer 2

In the 1910's, when Communism was "sweeping the world", and there was a great deal of Communist unrest in the US, the largest Communist party in the US was the "Socialist Party of America", much more radical than the name implies. Instead of calling for a violent revolution, they believed that the US was a revolutionary country in need of Communist correction through the Democratic process. They ran a candidate, Eugene Debs, several times for president, and he got something like 9% in one election (he would have got more but many Communists voted for Roosevelt or even Taft as a "lesser evil" candidate with an actual chance to win. Thus, the fact that America is a Democracy was able to serve as a release valve for Communist unrest, allowing the radical left to affect the government without resorting to violence.

Answer 3

because America is built its own government and it has not been over thrown
