I'll certainly agree with you on this one. Whether the fundamentalism is Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or any other type of religion. (Can Buddhists become fundies?)
And not just religion, either. It can be encountered without too much difficulty in the business world.
Chocky, I'd just like to remind you that socialism is NOT the same as communism.
And I respectfully suggest that you may have a wrong conception of both forms of arranging life in a country. This is not the forum to debate this. There's plenty of material available online for you to check. Just don't fall for the myth that the American way is the only or the "best" way to run a country. Most other countries would strongly disagree, and consider much of America is all - and only - about greed.
