8. Before Democrat Franklin Roosevelt, whose hatred of successful businessmen metastasized into a hatred of capitalism and a love of Stalin and all the Soviet experiment stood for, American heritage resisted the attack on the most American of views, individualism.
Today, the Democrat Party is as collectivist as their Bolshevik forebears.
Neither Republicans nor Democrats wished to be associated with the Marxism that academic dilettantes flirted with in 19th century universities.
FDR came into office March 4th of 1933. One of his first official acts was to recognize the USSR, November 16th, 1933.
If this act, based on FDR's additional pro-Soviet endeavors, was rational....then these folks must have been irrational:
"Four Presidents and their six Secretaries of State for over a decade and a half held to this resolve," i.e., refusal to recognize the Soviet government. That was written by Herbert Hoover, one of those four Presidents. He wrote it in his Freedom Betrayed: Herbert Hoover's Secret History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath by George H. Nash, published posthumously, obviously, in 2011, pg 24-29.
Well, one might say, why didn't the previous Presidents’ agree prior to FDR...and what made him change US policy?
"On December 6, 1917, the U.S. Government broke off diplomatic relations with Russia, shortly after the Bolshevik Party seized power from the Tsarist regime after the “October Revolution.” President Woodrow Wilson decided to withhold recognition at that time because the new Bolshevik government had refused to honor prior debts to the United States incurred by the Tsarist government, ignored pre-existing treaty agreements with other nations, and seized American property in Russia following the October Revolution. The Bolsheviks had also concluded a separate peace with Germany at Brest-Litovsk in March 1918, ending Russian involvement in World War I."

Roosevelt had even more reason to eschew the Bolsheviks......their slaughter of the Ukrainian famers.
One can only guess at the thinking of a US President, who knew of the millions slaughtered in the name of communism in Russia, yet cloaked Stalin in his own popularity.
Roosevelt, who never met dictator he didn't embrace, had a difficult decision when Hitler attacked Stalin.

To this day, human life is of no consequence to the party of death, the Democrat Party.
