Which professional baseball team changed their name in the 1950s to avoid being associated with communism?
Ksmail
The growth of McCarthyism and the advent of a new Red Scare in the 1950s gave the Reds' owners concerns that the club's traditional nickname would be seen as an association with the dreaded Red Menace. The name of the team was officially changed to the Cincinnati Redlegs and the new 1956 uniforms wiped out the REDS lettering from inside the C-REDS logo, leaving a plain wishbone C in red.

What is the difference between the theory of communism and the practice of communism?
To put things simply: The theory of communism is really Marxism. Marxists believe that- Human history is the history of class struggles there are two classes of capitalist society - Bourgeoisie - Proletariat there are four stages of Human history - Feudalism - Capitalism - Dictatorship of the Proletariat - Communism The exploited proletariat will revolt against the bourgeoisie creating a strong centralised government. Eventually this dictatorship will 'wither away,' creating a society without classes. Communism in practice is what happens when the theory of communism is attempted. In the Soviet Union when communism was put into practice Marxist ideas were altered an changed. Some major changes were- Marx wanted party leaders to be responsible for members. Lenin felt obliged to insist on loyalty. The bureaucracy became more powerful, retaining many privileges. Ideas of democracy were abandoned Lenin had changed Marxism into policy in which the state imposed socialism by force. Marx's theory of economic determinism was abandoned. Freedom was suppressed
