USA Reds in 1951

If anyone had asked all USA Communists in 1951 whether they would like the USSR to rule the USA, if not, how strongly they felt about it, and if not, what did they want regarding Communism, and they all gave honest answers, basically what would most of them have said?

Communism, ever since the Russian Revolution and the failed German Revolution, has essentially been split in two: Marxist-Leninists and left-communists. Marxist-Leninists support the Soviet Union and make up the most prominant Communist Parties (such as CPUSA); while they wouldn't necessarily agree to being ruled from Moscow they definitely would have supported US inclusion in Comintern. Left-communists generally don't see the Soviet Union as communist at all but some form of capitalism that waves a red flag; they would never agree to being under the thumb of the Soviet Union and would probably be the first to be purged.
