There were a lot of Americans who believed that communists were behind thelabor strikes of 1919. One example is the steel strike of 1919.
The 1970s saw a rise in activism and social movements, as Americans grappled with issues such as civil rights, the Vietnam War, and economic instability. The popularity of disaster movies and dystopian films also reflected a sense of anxiety and uncertainty prevalent during this decade. Additionally, the oil crisis and high inflation rates contributed to a general feeling of unease among many Americans during the 1970s.
Americans today would likely be skeptical of propaganda claiming that a leader is always right, given the emphasis on critical thinking and democracy. With a strong tradition of freedom of speech and independent media, many Americans value transparency and accountability in their government leaders. Such propaganda would likely be met with scrutiny and resistance in today's society.
It is not accurate to say that African Americans hate themselves because of slavery. However, the history of slavery and its legacy of racial discrimination and inequality have had a profound impact on the African American community's sense of identity and self-worth. There can be feelings of anger, frustration, and a struggle with self-acceptance as a result of this historical trauma.
Many white Americans call themselves Irish American, Italian American, or Asian American. The United States is a country if immigrants, and the people never gave up their history or culture when they came here. It is important for African Americans or black Americans to have a sense of history or purpose. Knowing where we come from will give us the self esteem to be positive and productive American citizens. My black friends hate to be called African-Americans. They were born in the US, their moms and grandmothers were born in the USA. The liberal media and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton used the term African-American to separate themselves from the rest of the US. Equal, but separate is their goal. That term encourages racism and resentment!

No, there is no evidence of this. While these sorts of assertions were very popular during the McCarthy era in the early 1950s (and led to the phrase "under God" being added to the pledge of allegiance, to demonstrate that Americans believed in God and were not like Communists, who were atheists), America has always been a religiously identified country, with large percentages of Americans (some polls show as many as 75-80%) saying they believe in God, and believe in their religion. There have also always been a percentage (currently about 14%) who do not believe in any religion, but these people are not Communists; they are free-thinkers, Humanists, and followers of other secular-based philosophies. There is no reason to believe that Communists, who make up a very small minority in North America, will ever have enough influence to change anyone's mind, nor is there evidence that Communists from other countries would be able to influence the religiosity of so many Americans.
The Nazis believed in a Germany that was not a republic, non-communist and non-democratic. They believed that the Jewish people were the enemy of the "Aryan Race" - Germans. Their hatred of communism stemmed from their anti-Jewish policies, as many communists in Europe at the time were Jewish. Other notable Jewish communists were Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin.
