🇺🇸 | Marco Rubio opened an ongoing international conference in the United States by announcing a quasi-new Red Scare. The US Secretary of State gathered officials from over 60 countries to strategize on combating Marxists, anti-capitalists, and other left-wing political movements. The Trump administration has been sharply escalating its anti-communist rhetoric in recent months. Critics are warning that the Trump administration is trying to offload international and domestic crises, as well as defeats for Western imperialism, with the resurrection of McCarthyite anti-communism. During the McCarthy era in the 1950s and throughout the Cold War, the US led a de facto worldwide war against communist movements, both openly and covertly, leading to bloodshed and unspeakable atrocities on a global scale.
