Hi Alexander, 
 ak> Freedom and democracy in the US would not be possible without fear of 
 ak> the USSR's Communism. ;-) It helped the Americans to curb the wild 
 ak> capitalism and a half-slave labor. So it was the USSR who formed the 
 ak> landscape in the 20th century.

Communism did not effect the United States out of fear or otherwise, quite
the reverse Freedom and Democracy has had its effects on reducing Communism and
it's grasp on control.

The industrial revolution created triumph; capitalism as well as sorrow
because of the abuses; deplorable working conditions this also changed and
was vastly improved upon with the creations of Unions for the rights of
workers.
