But not all US communists remained supportive of the USSR, whereas you’re claiming they did. And you’re blaming all US communists for what happened post-1945. You might as well judge all the citizens of the US negatively for actions pre-Civil Rights.

Many US communists worked their whole life long in order to bring better lives for their fellow men. Their judgement may have been flawed, but many shed blood, sweat and tears for their fellow citizens. Ahd they were fighting some evil, evil shit themselves, like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory owners, like the Lowell Mill owners. And you know what? The communists are now a shadow, a barely-recognizable force in US politics, whereas guys like the head of Massey Energy are still creating conditions that kill workers and getting away with it.
