If anybody wants on/off the revolutionary progressivism ping list, send me a message
Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.

“Common knowledge has it that the Red Scare involved Joseph McCarthy, HUAC, and Cold War highlights. While all of this is true, that’s the second Red Scare of the 1960’s. “
Not the 1960s. 1948 to late 1950s. Investigation of communists under the House Un-American Activities Committee [HUAC] started many years before Senator McCarthy got going, but the whole era has been retroactively tagged with the label “McCarthyism”.

The "Red Scare" wasn't a scare at all, but a real threat to our sovereignty. Can anyone look at the last 25 years or so and not conclude otherwise? Government has gotten bigger and more intrusive, with one faction of the country constantly under attack by the Leftists. Sounds to me like the Commies won.

The first Red Scare involved progressives using the force of big government against their ideological opponents, the communists.The only difference between them is that the progressives have not started the killing...yet.

Kind of like the Communists and the Nazis, Stalin and Hitler. They hated each other because they were rivals for the same kind of power. And the Communist propagandists successfully put forward the delusion that the Nazis were conservatives.

I don’t know the history behind these deportations but given the dates within which they occurred I would say that the deportations were a reaction to the Russian Revolution and rise to power of the Communist in Russia.
I would guess that Wilson was taking actions to reduce the chance of a Communist revolution in the US.
Considering that these were deportations (foreigners) it should not technically be called a purge.

Palmer Raids. Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman, some of the Sacco & Vanzetti gang but not those two.

Wilson deported them and then they came back as refugees during the days of FDR and infested our teacher colleges.
