American revolution not different from communist revolution.

Why didn't they abolish slavery in 1775? Because they needed the plantation owner's support in order to defeat the British? I'm not doubting the strength of their ideals, but at the end of the day difficult times call for extreme measures and no revolution ends up with the ideal they fought for. It took 72 years for the USSR to realise freedoms are better, but it took 90 years for American democracy to illegalise slavery.

 

May be it was the capitalism of the US republic that prevailed rather than its ideals. John Locke the English Liberal had a significant influence on the US political fought in the beginning, or so I think. He held shares in a slaving company and devised many a repressive constitutional systems. He was a real English Whig.
