F. Scott FitzgeraldCommunism as I see it has no place in the United States, and the American people will not stand for its teachings.
About This Quote
Communism is an economic theory where people are not free to make their own choices. Instead, there is a higher authority that determines what is right or wrong. It's not just an economic theory but also social and political thinking. The United States was founded on the ideas set forth by George Washington, who said, "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth." The freedom that we enjoy today is based on these principles. Mandela made his comments in South Africa where he said, "If I were American I would be ashamed to see my country adopt Communism."
