the baggage was intentionally manufactured.
there was a big push from the american government to suppress leftist political views because they were gaining groundswell political support during the great depression.
that's why roosevelt did the new deal; the american government trained, paid and armed political violence in western europe & latin america to prevent them from going full socialist immediately after ww2; and did nothing but a slap on the wrist to the people who perpetuated the red scare.
it''s in their interests keep you ignorant and make you think that leftists are the bogeyman.
