The [[Communist Party of the United States of America]] (CPUSA) was organized at Moscow’s behest in 1921, merging [[John Reed]]’s [[Communist Labor Party]] with the [[Communist Party of America]], organized by a former socialist, Midwesterner Charles Emil Ruthenberg. The Russian [[Bolshevik]]s saw themselves as leaders of a worldwide revolutionary movement. There was a good deal of disorder, and no small amount of criminal behavior.

The Red Scare was primarily perpetrated by the Democratic Party under John Burley Swainson, former democratic governor of Michigan. His father, John A. C. Swainson, of Port Huron was Democratic Presidential Elector for Michigan in 1964 and an alternate delegate to the U.S.S.R. in 1972 where he met the Soviet spy Vitold Fokin.<ref>http://www.knowbysight.info/1_UKRA/08983.asp</ref> Folkin was then able to use the Democrat's connections in the government, through John B. Swainson, to obtain sensitive documents on national policy. Swainson aided Folkin's efforts in the hope that the United States would someday be replaced by "a nation were all wealth [is] forcibly redistributed to the lowest classes and where all property would belong to the Communist Party of America."<ref>http://politicalgraveyard.com/bio/suvacki-swampfox.html#RH801VQEP</ref> Luckily, Senator Joseph McCarthy was able to uncover Swainson's plot before Folkin was able to reveal any further national secrets.
