If communism is such a bad ideology that will always fail on its own, why did americans spend so much time, resources and effort to actively try and destroy it? Why not let it run its course so the world can see its shortcomings? Now communists always have the excuse of CIA interference being the root of the problems.

Nobody actually knew which side was better and in fact both were wrong, communist ideology and socialism in general were necessary because there were so many despotic banana governments. The vast majority of countries have some socialist programs today. The downside of course, being that communism also suck.

I think the thing they never figured out was how to have a democracy that didn't immediately tear apart the Socialist project so instead they went for dictatorship to keep the ideology in power.

It ran its course in Spain

Fascist nations declared war on the Allies, they were perfectly fine letting them do their own thing until then. Americans were the aggressors in the Vietnam War etc

Cause it wasn't apparent that Communism was going to fail on its own until after those events you fucking imbecile.

>>17839275
That's never been apparent. Communism was never even allowed to fail on its own since the americans were constantly interfering from day one, and still goes on strong to this day in multiple nations. Meanwhile, fascism has utterly failed and been replaced everywhere it's been tried.

>and still goes on strong to this day in multiple nations
lol this should be good. Name these so-called communist nations and show how successful they are

>>17839292
Already raring to break out the "that's not real communism!" I see.

If shit isn't healthy, why do my parents constantly try to get me to not eat shit?! Hmm?!

>>17839319
Unwilling to name even one country I see.

>>17839326
Americans had no business trying to tell Vietnamese how to run their country. Thankfully the good guys won that conflict and the mutts were sent home humiliated.

China and Vietnam.

>>17839339
Unwilling to argue with a retard that has already signaled his intent to "not real communism" with its "so-called communist nations" remark.

America became the bad guys at some point in their history... Maybe when they dropped the first nuke, maybe even earlier. But America is the bad guy.

A bunch of communist rice farmers did in fact utterly humiliate the US military and sent them home to get spit on by their fellow mutts.

Because wherever Communism takes root, mass slaughter occurs. Communists are evil psychos who enjoy killing the innocent. Every Communist regime is guilty of mass killings. While yes, the US could've simply ignored the Communist threat, that would've lead the deaths of billions of innocent people. It's morally repugnant to not stand against those animals.

If the Americans put in as much effort against them as they did against the Japanese it would be a whole different story. No one in their right mind would say the North Vietnamese were a more capable opponent than the Axis powers. The North Vietnamese victory is undermined by the U.S. not going “total war mode” on them. The U.S. military was working under so many restrictions that victory was impossible, not necessarily because of the skill of the army opposing them.

America played with kiddie gloves on compared to how Russia has basically "degloved" themselves for the umpteenth time in their quagmire in Ukraine.

The infinite growth of capitalist empire building is unsustainable, because in order for it to continue to survive it has to conquer other nations and steal their resources which is a war crime
