>That's right, good citizen! Just hand over your civil liberties and I promise I'll keep you safe from those evil commies.
He didn't like Communism.
He wanted power and used demagoguery and blackmail to get it.
>>855711
>Dude movie stars are just like you
>DUDE THE BOURGEOISIE CONTROLS WHAT YOU THINK
Immediately thereafter
>Dude these conspiracy theories are bullshit
>DUDE GRAMSCI SPELLS OUT HOW YOU'RE WRONG
he had the right idea, but went about it the wrong way.
>>855731
Throwing out civil liberties for the sake of national security is certainly not the right idea.
>>855728
>if you hate mcarthy you're obviously some kind of communist
what are you going about
>>855745
I'm not calling you a Communist, I'm saying this will happen soon, now that you've claimed that the people affected by his claims were average citizens.
>>855734

>>855749
He targeted left-leaning politicians, along with suspected soviets.

He found some spies. He also blackmailed people who he specifically knew weren't spies to ruin their political careers.
He was too moderate
Just saw this pic in Wikipedia on McCarthyism. What did UNESCO do with the reds?
Being a closet buggerer and alcoholic isn't an endearing combination.
>>855800
Yes, and?
His problem was that even though he was occasionally right, it was entirely by accident.
It's like walking into a 4chan thread and going EVERYONE HERE IS A FAGGOT. It's a true statement but I didn't know you were all faggots when I said it, I just wanted to insult you.
>>855658
He looks TrusTed
