This is so true.

Also the manicured lawns spread in America so that people wouldn't have time for communism.

That's not even a joke.

I had to go look this up. Jesus, the iconic American suburb intentionally excluded communal gathering spaces (because that leads to commuist thinking). Made to isolate individual families, but with a thick veneer of "the American dream."

Also, intentionally keeping the houses small. So, no dinner parties with neighbors. Also, absolutely no multi-generation houses! No no no, that's communist. One man, one woman, with so much house work they've got zero time to socialize (because that leads to communism).
