From the beginning of the United States of America, our people have been very proud in having the right to be free and to have to choice of what to do with their life. Communism threatens those rights to individuals in other countries around the world. America has sworn to be against communism in everything they do.

During the Red Scare people began to see fear with the ideal of communism. People of America started to accuse each other of communism and there was a lot of chaos starting in America. When accused of being a communist, even if you are not affiliated with the group, you will still be seen as one because if generalized as a communist people already think you are one.

During the twentieth century the United States tried to stop the spread of communism throughout the world. America even created policies that said they would help countries that were being forced into communistic states by communistic countries. The policy the US created called “containment” stated that America would have to step in when it came to cases such as Korean and Vietnam wars. Powerful communistic countries were trying to overpower smaller weaker countries and that forced the United States to step due to the Containment policy. America did not prefer to trade with communistic countries, so most people thought that the United States only created to Containment policies to benefit themselves and open up more opportunities with other countries.

The farming in America had and has a higher success rate because most of the farms in the United States are more family owned and family corporations are more popular. The agriculture here may have been better because the people that worked the farms got profits that match the output they have. When in the USSR they got the same amount of profits no matter how much output the workers have. Also many of the USSR’s best farmers were put into industrial plants, while the US had 15 of its population as successful farmers. America also has more trading opportunities because it trades with more countries than just the ones with their economic status, while the USSR usually just trades with other communistic countries like China and North Korea.
