Covert operations are not covert if everyone knows about them. If nations didn't convert to communism during the cold war, if was reasonably presumed that our operations in those regions were being successful. No news was good news.
Yes that is something Hitler promised the German people but he failed in his attempts to do that.
Communism with a smiling face is like putting lipstick on a pig - it may look pretty on the outside, but it's still a pig. It refers to attempts to make communism seem more appealing or palatable, but at the end of the day, it's still a system that often leads to oppression and lack of individual freedoms.

Imperialism is a policy and involves a big nation conquering smaller nations to increase its wealth and power. Communism is a form of government, wherein everyone is equal, no true head of government exists, and everyone serves to help one another, instead of selling each other goods with economic greed in mind. Communism has never existed in this true form on a large scale, as most attempts have ended with a dictator at the top. Imperialism, on the other hand, was rampant for centuries, mostly at the hands of Spain and Britain.

Everything was controlled by the people and no one was to be better than another person. Communism has never existed in the real world as state socialism is the closest anyone came to creating communism. In these societies people are oppressed by the Government which attempts to make everyone equal, under their puppet strings.
Yes. The United States attempted to stop the USSR from spreading communism by supplying armaments, financing, and military support to countries on the verge of falling into a communistic government.
