This is an absolutely extraordinary amount of words to say absolutely nothing of substance in response to my original comment, which was simply that Russian bot farms and propaganda mills have an interest in sowing discord in American society, including by promoting divisive political positions.

You have provided absolutely no evidence that any of your claims are true. Instead, you've strung together a collection of historical events, ideological talking points, and wild assumptions, then presented the resulting narrative as established fact. You're making an absurd number of leaps in logic and treating your own interpretations of history as conclusive proof of a sweeping conspiracy.

Much of this reads like the standard conspiratorial nonsense that circulates in the darker corners of YouTube, where a handful of historical facts are cherry-picked, stripped of context, and assembled into some grand theory explaining everything. You seem to have mistaken the ability to construct a coherent narrative for the ability to substantiate one.

And the funniest part is that you're doing all of this in response to a comment that wasn't even making the argument you're attempting to dismantle. I never claimed that American anti-communism was created by Russia, nor did I suggest that foreign propaganda was responsible for America's historical hostility toward socialism. My point was that foreign actors can exploit existing political divisions to sow further discord. Those are two entirely different propositions, and the fact that you can't seem to distinguish between them is rather telling.

If you're surprised that I supposedly know nothing about socialism, I'm equally surprised that you've managed to string together so many words that appear coherent to the people reading them, considering how little actual evidence or logical rigor you've brought to the discussion.
