History has proven there’s no other way to deal with them

Not quite true. Communists are like weeds. As long as you keep them concentrated somewhere you don't care about they aren't a huge problem. But, you have to be vigilant to quickly pull any weeds that take root in your lawn.

That's what we did in the 60's and 70's. But, once the USSR collapsed and China became "capitalist" we let our guard down. We stopped trying to contain communism to a few countries where they mostly murdered their own people and we stopped acting aggressively to stamp out communist footholds outside those nations.

Now we've got a full blown infestation and there's more weeds than grass in some areas of the US.

When it gets this bad, often all you can do is till it all under and start again next season.
