I just like to throw that out there. And it's worth noting that the CIA's "little black book" of communism lists the Germans killed by Russians in wwii as "casualties" of communism. So, unless you think dead Nazis are a bad thing, maybe learn that the red scare propaganda isn't designed to tell you the truth, just the story.

That said, I'm no fan of statism. Communist or capitalist.

Indeed. My first book (an alternative history of WWII) came out almost 25 years ago but so many folks can't see past the intoxicating blur of Patriotism™.

The more we can remove pride, preconceptions, and programming from the equation, the more discerning we become!
