Was Karl Marx ethnically German? Did he move from Germany as a somewhat young adult and later end up in London?

...until they went all-in in East Germany, whose spies infiltrated West Germany.

If you must find credit, there's Francisco Franco, who defeated the Soviet-backed Communists, to the chagrin of Western artists, writers and other sympathizers.

But he was anti-US, anti-capitalism.

We have Brigadier General Jimmy Stewart, all-American, pro-USA, anti-Communist. Don't need to find a good word to say about monsters when we have authentic heroes.

EDIT: and we also had Communist sympathizers like Sterling Hayden, even then:

Hayden's admiration for the bravery of the Communist partisans led to a brief membership in the Communist Party from 1946.

He was apparently active in supporting an effort by the Communist-controlled motion picture painters union to absorb other film industry unions.
