In April of 1917, when Wilson made those remarks, the Reds did not control the Russian Revolution.

Russian Revolution Timeline.

1917

•February 23-27 (March 8-12 NS) - The February Revolution begins with strikes, demonstrations, and mutinies in Petrograd (also called the March Revolution if following the Gregorian calendar)

•March 2 (March 15 NS) - Czar Nicholas II abdicates and includes his son. The following day, Nicholas' brother, Mikhail announced his refusal to accept the throne. Provisional Government formed

•April 3 (April 16 NS) - Lenin returns from exile and arrives in Petrograd via a sealed train

•July 3-7 (July 16-20 NS) - The July Days begin in Petrograd with spontaneous protests against the Provisional Government; after the Bolsheviks unsuccessfully try to direct these protests into a coup, Lenin is forced into hiding

•July 11 (July 24 NS) - Alexander Kerensky becomes Prime Minister of the Provisional Government

•August 22-27 (September 4-9 NS) - The Kornilov Affair, a failed coup by General Lavr Kornilov, commander of the Russian Army

•October 25 (November 7 NS) - The October Revolution - the Bolsheviks take over Petrograd (also called the November Revolution if following the Gregorian calendar)

•October 26 (November 8 NS) - The Winter Palace, the last holdout of the Provisional Government, is taken by the Bolsheviks; the Council of People's Commissars (abbreviated as Sovnarkom), led by Lenin, is now in control of Russia

You can also read about the "Polar Bear" expidition here. In 1918, Willson sent the US Army into Russia to fight the Bolshivics (Reds) in support of the "White Russian" forces.

Wilson was a "Progressive" who did a lot of damage. But he wasn't a commie.

The Bolshevik’s false front use of democrats and liberals is interesting in comparison with the islamist’s use of democrats and moderates in the Arab Spring.

Wilson did not suck on the c@#k of Marx, he sucked on the c@#k of another German pseudo-intellectual, Hegel.

Marx, Hegel, and Nietzsche, Germany has sure produced it's fair share of whiny toddlers who are stuck in a perpetual temper tantrum, otherwise known as cool and hip "intellectuals" among "will believe in anything" crowd.
