Bruce, he not only continues to propagandize from a Soviet Communist viewpoint, he does not deny doing so, and never has. (I haven't noticed anything particularly Maoist in tw's output, but I could be wrong there.) That Ibram, in his middle teens, can't recognize a communist when he hears one doesn't make my understanding any less valid, but tells me Ibram's not up to speed on communist propaganda. My remarks are accurate: check tw against what the Soviets used to try telling us -- cf. his comments on Vietnam and theirs -- and see for yourself. My experience with these things tells me that tw's unfortunate views are more coherently explained by a communist worldview than by some amorphous perversity of mind. It's a systematic perversity instead.
Do or do not the Communists blame America first, and perennially?
Do or do not the Communists undermine American military efforts to the best of their ability?
Do or do not the Communists prefer that America never take any action abroad, ever? They wanted us withdrawn from the world, the better to implement their oppressions and poverties. (A very bad religion, communism.)
Does or does not tw do all three of these, frequently and loudly? I keep seeing just that from him. You know what they say: once is happenstance, twice is coincidence; three times is enemy action.
So, do not reject it out of hand when I call somebody a communist. The left was handed an enormous gift with the scandal around Joe McCarthy, and since that debacle the intellectual lightweights think it "sophisticated" to dismiss it when somebody notes somebody else's communist attitudes -- all because Tail Gunner Joe had a brain tumor and fell to bits. That the loudest anticommunist in the Senate was a sick man doesn't invalidate anticommunist activism or sentiment -- as the lightweights would have it, and thereby roll over for oppression, poverty, and the generally suck quality of life that is what Communism delivers. That it's something tw is blind to is evidenced by his deafening silence on that point.
The lightweights would like to pretend this struggle was between the Communists and the Birchers. Not so; it was between the Communists and mankind.
