@RebeccaOre Fidel never made the errors Stalin or Mao made. That is why the Cuban revolution continues despite being alone in the world and under tremendous pressure from the United States with its blockade. We are overdue for another Socialist Revolution somewhere in the world or a political revolution in one or more of the former workers states before the 1991 implosion of the Soviet Union. .

@thomaskalbfus2005 They didn't have many Blacks in the old Soviet Union but Stalin himself was a Georgian who spoke with a thick Russian accent. The United States had gotten Stalin to agree to declare War on Japan when VE Day was declared. With Japan's defeat Truman suggested and Stalin agreed to a division of Korea for purposes of evacuating Japanese Troops. Neither party had a right to divide Korea since the war was over and spontaneous people's committees had sprung up in Korea forcing the Japanese to stay on their bases. Like almost everywhere US Troops are stationed the NEVER leave without a fight. Syngman Rhee was a hand picked stooge who spent the war being a totally irrelevant unknown in Washington, DC. The US Took over for the hated Japanese Imperialist and declared English to be the native language. For the United States helping Korea was like France helping Mexico with Maximilian. The Japanese had withdrawn to their barracks and instead of evacuating and leaving Korea to the Korean's the US decided to "Help with "nation building democracy" By using its military forces along with the Japanese Troops to suppress the people's committees that had sprung up in the area it now claimed under its military control. Accusing North Korea of launching an invasion is like accusing Northern Mexico of invading to oust Maximilian. Syngman Rhee claimed to be President of all Korea after his phoney elections and massacres. He celebrated his election by murdering his non communist opponent. Only former Japanese collaborators wanted US Troops.

The Second Red Scare began with FDR and the first Smith "gag" Act trial of the 18 leaders of the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party and Minneapolis Teamsters. This trials testimony is still printed as "Socialism on Trial." "The Case of the Legless Veteran" was the first big defeat for the wichunters. The Socialist Workers Party would further take on the FBI in Socialist Workers Party vs Attorney General. Jimmy "Human Rights" Carters AG Griffin Bell would be held in contempt of court. and a federal judge would rule that FBI spying and disrpution tactcs were illegal and the open ended FBI investigation was ordered ended with a permanent injunction.
