Even in 1949, only 4 years after they dropped atomic bombs in Japan, the US was acting surprised at how Japanese could hate America and turn to Communism. “They couldn’t possibly hate America by their own free will, they must have been brainwashed by the Commies”.

Exactly, it’s just good’ol late 40s US propaganda.
The Vietnam communist uprising was not inspired by the Soviets either. But that’s a whole other can of worms, this website is about Japan.
