I've always been very wary of the anti-Communism moral that is drilled in to the US public. It seems to me that America is happy to retain an ever widening class based society, based on false, biased education and the growth of multi-national corporations. The result of this is a deluded society with a substantial underclass. Although I'm not totally sure whether it would be a good idea to implement communism in the US, I would suggest that the author of this argument should read 'The Communist Manifesto' by Karl Marx, to at least have a less prejudice attitude and a greater understanding of the interests that Communists stand for.
