Well, yeah, no point in getting semantic, I did mean that it wasn’t founded on anti-communism because it predates most communist movements, but ofc it developed in anti-communism.
Sorry, I’m Spanish and too lazy to watch a 30-min video about American presidents from 100 years ago, I have enough American presidents on the internet lately for the following… forever? I’m so tired of the fucking bidenkamalatrump thing, I don’t see why as a Spanish person I should even know who Justice Alito is when I can’t name the literal president of the UK. I’d rather blame it all on capitalism since it’s the same everywhere.
Long story short that particular president used his Yale historian credentials and the presidency to push Southern Revisionism, which he wrote, and his racist ideas to fuck up this country a ton, and the rest of the world by refusing to join WWI, and thereby single handedly causing the European theater of WWII, Stalin’s rise to power, Hitler’s rise to power, and the eventual anti communist rhetoric that permeates the US to this day.
As to why you as a Spaniard may want to know this, it helps explain why the most powerful nation in the world keeps having apoplectic seizures, diplomatically speaking.
Explaining how all of that is literally one guy’s fault is why the video is 30 minutes long. Well, that and something like a 4 minute ad in the middle.

No, it wasn’t built that way, the US as a country predates strong communist movements
You can build after you founded.

You can thank Woodrow Wilson for the anti-communist stuff.
