Not insane: indignant. The one communist I'm acquainted with to any degree is tw, who I at first thought was merely perverse and irrational, until I noticed just how often and how completely his style of anti-Americanism resembles what the Soviets put out. There was a time when I'd see what the Soviets said pretty much as something related to the work I did in the Navy. Tw doesn't vary much from the stuff I saw.
Tw as a communist propagandist must be rejected of men, and completely, until such time as he becomes a pro-American libertarian. Fat chance, eh? Until that fortunate day, he tastes the lash. Communism's record is terrible, and their abuse of democracy, the one legitimate form of government, unconscionable. Add to this that there is no other form of totalitarianism that is an improvement over communism's collectivist totalitarianism, and you see where my motivation comes from.
As for close-minded -- my mind's only closed to antidemocracy, oppression, and other evils. Those to whom I condescend have been whoring after that which brings these. I say this is about equal parts stupid and perverse.
