A communist victory in WW2 ensured that institutional marxism would eventually take over where traditional america once reined supreme. It wasn't something that most people could verbalize but it was a feeling deep down that now we were on a new course and it didn't fit into our cultural heritage. That at least was a part of what the rebellion was aboutbut it wasn't a conscious, thought out theory but something that was felt.
That is the subtext I thought I saw. It looks to me as if you're projecting your own anger over our involvement in WWII onto the kids of the 1950s. And if so, I don't see any reason why I should continue this conversation with you. The Politics and Other Controversies forum is a better place to talk politics. I've noticed you have a habit of "stirring the pot" over there, too.
