re: #256 Golem Akbar

The Communists were on the fence until Hitler invaded Russia, but many more lefty-liberals in the US were anti-Nazi. My (Jewish, obviously) family pre-WWII was very liberal and very anti-Nazi, and believed then that only liberals were sufficiently anti-Nazi. [I’m a boomer baby, and this was told to me by my elders] Many liberals today consider themselves anti-fascist, and a video such as this could be a cold-shower wake up call.

I was referring to the organized American left, almost all of which were Soviet front organizations. I’m quite sure that there were many liberal individuals who were anti-Nazi. However, per the Verona intercepts, virtually all of the “left”, as generally defined, was operating on orders from Moscow, and doing what was best for the Soviets. Until Barbarossa they were against American involvement. After that, pro intervention.
