Go back and figure out who originated the ideas of Communism and Socialism. Then, who controlled them.
In some ways, Chinese have more freedom than us while in other ways they don't. One of the interesting features of living under Communism is that it transformed the Chinese people into not wanting to take care of property. They allow everything to fall apart. They also don't care about other people outside of one's family. Except in small towns, sounds like here right?
Many in the fed gov at the time believed the Civil Rights Black Power, Feminism, etc movement groups were funded and supported by communists. They believed the goal was to try and break down our society. (((They))) succeeded in breaking down our family structure which is very strong in China.
