Before that, many had the dream to emigrate to the new Workers' Paradise in Russia. The book The Forsaken tells of the horrors of that experience.

From what I have read, many Americans were slaughtered when they joined the communist cause in the Spanish Civil War. I think the number was close to 2000 who fought on the side of the communists. It takes a pretty solid committment to join another county's war.
