And that would not be the case if you did no thinking. But this is far off the topic.
Given America's apparent hatred of communism, it seems that that has been used to convince them that quality of life and workers rights are only for the weak willed. Real men, expect to be worked till they drop and should be grateful that the boss gives them the scraps off his table. But freedom...

I would say that "some" Americans express hate for communism, but confuse it with socialism, which is a free lunch in their view. That was put to the ultimate test in 2016 when Russia "helped" Mr. Trump get elected. All of a sudden, Russia was no longer the enemy - at least for a little while. He returned that favor many times over in the middle/far east and in his dealings with Europe. That certainly did not make the state fascist - it tore the state into pieces in the name of capitalism - white privileged helping other white privileged. The aftermath is current history!

Yep, it's been a while coming and no one seems to care.
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.
