re: #157 Obdicut

You’re treating them as though they were a monolithic block. This is wrong.

You get accommodation at work, right? The reason you get that is based on the back of labor rights won for you, in part, by US communists.

Not all US communists supported the USSR, and many of those who did supported the USSR in the time period before and after WWII, when, you know, they were our allies.

They were only our allies during the war. After World War II, Stalin decided we were the USSR’s “main enemy” (actually, he had decided that before the war had ended but he concealed that decision for some time). Those who had supported the USSR were in my opinion obligated by its turn towards hostility towards the USA to turn against it. Some did, but others parroted the line from Moscow that the US was responsible for the crises that followed.
