While the US was passing the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, the communists were busy purging enemies of the revolution, sending around a million people to their graves. The existence of laws forbidding genocide, ethnic cleansing, and arbitrary executions is a constant reminder that if communists could murder the entire planet, they would.

In 1938, the U.S. (especially Capitalist CEOs of tech companies like IBM) were "busy" doing (very profitable) business with the Nazis. Ka-ching $$$. A constant reminder that if Capitalists could do business (at a profit) with Neo-Nazis or Warmongers - they would. Because, at the end of the day, all that matters to big CEOs is "profits for the Corporation" - nothing else.

You're aware that communist China and the Soviet Union had extensive trade relations with Nazi Germany, right?
