Another ideological method that was central to his success of emerging as the leader of the Soviet Union by 1929 was accusations of Trotskyism . This was due to Stalin defending himself by accusing Bukharin of Trotskyism because Trotsky had been the first to make the claim about bureaucracy .

On February 9, 1950, the Republican Senator Joe McCarthy made the bold, though uninformed, statement that our precious United States had been sold out by the “traitorous actions” of men that held important and respected government offices. According to McCarthy, there was a large conspiracy occurring in the State Department by 205 Communists.

I have heard many a tale of people entering into politics in the hope that they will gain wealth and power and that usually is the reason for their downfall. The well-known characters of Adolf Hitler of Germany and Shaka Zulu of South Africa were individuals from two different ends of the planet yet their intensions were shockingly similar, Adolf wanted Europe, much like Napoleon before him, and Shaka wanted South Africa. None of these people succeeded, but upon closer inspection I had an
