Isn't that why the redcoats occupied Boston?

After World War I, the military of Russia joined the people of Russia, overthrowing the plutocrats. Then populists, aka the left, REALLY became the enemy.

Just think how much time, energy, blood and treasure this nation spent all over the world, including domestically, demonizing the left.
