3. The time is now arrived to speak about the time when Communists selected the Democrat Party to be the vehicle by which Communism would take America over!
The statement CEM mentioned reflects a **specific political perspective** and interpretation of historical events. Here’s a breakdown of the various views on this topic:
### Historical Context
- **Communism in the 20th Century**: The rise of communism, particularly in the early to mid-20th century, was viewed with suspicion by many in the United States, especially during the **Cold War**.
- **Political Parties**: The **Democratic Party** and **Republican Party** have evolved over time. In the early 20th century, the Democratic Party had a more progressive wing that sometimes aligned with socialist ideas.
### Theories and Claims
- **Conspiracy Theories**: Some claim that communists infiltrated various institutions, including the Democratic Party, to influence American politics. These claims often lack substantial evidence and are considered conspiracy theories by many historians.
- **Political Rhetoric**: During election cycles, especially during the **Red Scare**, political opponents often labeled each other as communists or socialists to discredit them.
### Current Perspectives
- **Scholarly Opinion**: Most historians and political scientists argue that while there were leftist movements within the Democratic Party, the assertion that communists "selected" the party as a vehicle for takeover is an oversimplification and often exaggerated.
### Conclusion
The statement reflects a **particular ideological viewpoint** and is not widely accepted as fact by historians. It is essential to approach such claims critically and consider multiple perspectives and sources when evaluating historical and political narratives.
