Do you really think tha tcommunism was sustainable and that the
leadership of the Soviet Union was effective in sustaining it?

Any centrally-planned economy is ultimately unsustainable, and the eventual
collapse of the Soviet Union was inevitable. Until Reagan, however, it was an
open question whether the Soviets would succeed in their efforts to subvert
the U.S. and other Western democracies before the collapse.

Reagan's military buildup greatly accelerated the collapse of the Soviet
Union. And even the Russians admit that. Google on Gennady Gerasimov.


I dunno if FDR harbored communists in his administration or not.

You just might be the only person in the US who's unaware of that.

I do know that in WWII the communists were our allies

Utter nonsense. We were fighting a common enemy. In no way were we "allies".

Hoy Crap!


and there is
no law against being a communist, nor against having communists in
one's administration,

Common sense would suggest that known enemy agents should be discharged from
the administration, rather than promoted.

Agents of which enemy, Germany, Japan, or Italy?

The Soviet Union.
