Why are Americans against Communism?

Hey there!

One reason that Americans are against communism is that they have seen it fail in disasters in so many countries.

Mao Zedong, the communist leader of China, setting up a nationalist regime that led to the death of tens of millions of people. Communism also failed in the Soviet Union, North Korea, and Vietnam.

Americans want to live in a free market economy where they work and keep what they earn. With communism, the government owns all of the means of production, so people's money goes into a national money pool that is equally distributed among other people that might not have worked as hard.

I hope this helps!
