Inordinate Fear?
Here is an interesting piece that really clarifies some revisionist history about the Communist movement. Favorite quote:
Myth: The Communist ideal is quite innocent, for example, “to each according to his needs, from each according to his abilities.”
Fact: “The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property. … Abolition of the family! … Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality … this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads … In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.” (The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.)

Woa! A long read, but well worth it. I’m a history major, so this was very interesting. I compare it to ‘Harry Potter’. Some people just aren’t willing to accept that Voldemort is out there.
