During the cold war 1947-1991 where being a communist in America was strictly forbidden, what did the US government do with people who were confirmed to be communists?

Did they put them in jail?

When I was in high school, the head of the special education department of my school was a marxist and a lesbian.

The school psychologist was also a marxist as well.

I didn't much like her, and if it was back in the day, I would have reported her to HUAC (the house for unamerican activities committee).

Marxists are not necessarily communists. Nor are communists necessarily Marxists.

Studying Marx is a requirement of many Social Science and Management courses.

Russian Communism would have appalled Karl Marx.

I studied both Marxian Economic Theory and Chinese Economics towards a B.A. in Economics many moons ago. They were electives at the time, but I'm sure it's in my "file" somewhere.

I had to study Marxist theory as part of an MBA. When I referred to Henri Fayol and Frederick W Taylor the lecturers had no idea who or what I was talking about. I considered that their influence on management theories was more significant than Marx...

Did you end up getting an MBA?

They were taken to a game preserve to hunted by the Illuminati ruling elite. Or sold to the lizard people as slaves.

Marx was a very good economic historian and a very bad political theorist. He was also the most boring writer who ever drew breath.

I spent a year at a German University and for one course we had to read the whole of 'Kapital' - in German. It taught me little except what it's like to feel suicidal.
