Communism kills the body, in contrast to Americanism which kills the soul

It is undeniable that the vast majority of people, had they had a choice between communism and Americanism, would have opted for the latter. European conservative critics of Americanism often forget that fact—because many never lived under communism. Worse, communist genocidal legacy has not been graphically depicted by the world media in the similar proportions as has been the legacy of fascism. There are, of course, citizens in every system who are born rebels and who do not easily fall into the dualistic trap of “the good America vs. the bad Soviet Union,” but who search, instead, for a third social and political option. Yet these individuals and heretics can be literally counted on the fingers of one hand. Certainly, communism kills the body, in contrast to Americanism which kills the soul, but even the worst type of intellectual “soft-killing” in the postmodern American system seems to be dearer to the masses than physical maltreatment or a violent communist death.
