And you underestimate America's belief in social justice, especially at the time. We thought Mao was just an agricultural reformer, after all.
Likewise, since nobody saw the Germans as Marxist...
Really, in the '50s?
The Germans might not be seen as Marxists, but they won't be seen as Conservative. Preachers could just as easily rant about "Godless Nazism" as Godless Communism, and it would be opposed to American society in the same way, with its hatred of free enterprise and traditional morals and its emphasis on the collective over individual freedom.
I guess my point kind of is that Socialism really is incompatible with the American mindset. They won't support it and swing to the left just because there are Nazis out there.
