Wait, I think I remember you talking about freedom of expression. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taft%E2%80%93Hartley_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Control_Act_of_1954
Despite being ruled "unconstitutional" these were just more of the flagrant attempts at legislating anti-communism legally. Taft-Hartley was active for a while as well. We all know how "strong" the Supreme Court is these days anyways :)
It had a lot to do with tens of millions of union members and their Associates standing up and fighting together. Without that the United States would still be sending kids down in Coal Mines, the old thrown out in the street to die, etc.
Obviously we have been going back to that place for a long time, half a century, that is the problem.
Common ground found! Time to put bullets in bosses again.
You have a resounding agreement from the rest of us on here on that.
