Anti-Communism: America’s Unofficial Religion

Another important dispatch from The Greanville Post. Be sure to share it widely.

Loyalty to capitalism has been injected into the minds of all Americans as if it were the same as loyalty to the United States, but this is a false equation. See,  American Brainwash: Guess what, Ma, capitalism is not Americanness!

The Empire has a range of weapons to maintain its power: from its courts to its military. But it also has effective ideological weapons. Everyone in the United States knows that "socialist" or "communist" is considered a bad word. How did things get that way? Abby Martin explores the history of anti-communism in America, and the heavy repression of an idea that became an unofficial religion. Featuring interviews with: Brian Becker, founder of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (Twitter: @pslweb) Jared Ball, Professor of Communication Studies at Morgan State University (Twitter: @iMiXWHATiLiKE)
