re: #366 Dianna

The Democrats of the 1920’s were a coalition of the Communists and the KKK. Not the GOP.

Well, not really. In the North the Communists supported international socialist parties. I think that in the 1920s, the Democrats were still stuck with Woodrow Wilson’s legacy. Wilson was staunchly anti Communist (being a national socialist himself).

Also, Communists were involving themselves in the civil-rights movement; the textbook case would be Scottsboro. The Communists weren’t going to get anywhere in that era’s Democratic Party that way.
