Ben Daniel
“There are significant analogues between the American fear of Communism during the McCarthy era and the American fear of Islam at the beginning of the twenty-first century.”
Ben Daniel, The Search for Truth about Islam: A Christian Pastor Separates Fact from Fiction

Michael Parenti
“Anticommunist propaganda saturated our airwaves, schools, and political discourse. Despite repeated and often factitious references to the tyranny of the Red Menace, the anticommunist opinion makers never spelled out what communists actually did in the way of socioeconomic policy. This might explain why, despite decades of Red-bashing propaganda, most Americans, including many who number themselves among the political cognoscenti, still cannot offer an informed statement about the social policies of communist societies.”
Michael Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism
