We believe in freedom of speech, but we we made the Communist Party illegal, why?
Can you tell me more about the Cold War era and why communism was viewed as a threat?
The Cold War was a period of political and military tension between the Western powers, led by the United States, and the Eastern powers, led by the Soviet Union. Communism was viewed as a threat to the capitalist system and democracy by the Western powers, who saw it as a dangerous ideology that could potentially spread and undermine their way of life.
