Blacklist: Right Wing used the same methods as the Communists
Ironic that the American right wing used the same tactics as the communist bloc countries to stifle dissent.
If you worked in the entertainment industry during the time, you did not have the right to free speech ... in America!
Other tactics that were used by both the American right wing and the Soviet bloc countries include show trials, imprisonment and banning artists from working in their chosen field.
That is not supposed to happen in America, ever, and it is odd that these unconstitutional methods were advocated by "patriots."
