I guess the old saying that Communism is alive and well in the United States is true. Now it’s thriving or should I say matastisising. Communism is anathema to a real American. How you can have so many people that are radically changed is more than just being enamoured by the “virtues” of Marxism,there has to be a concertive effort by a select group of agitators. They have to be exposed as who they really are: The ENEMY.
Communism had a good foothold in Johns Hopkins in the 30s (my uncle went there, knew some of the top CPUSA members, and also broke the “Jewish quota” for students -he was smarter than most of the professors, IQ around 180 - became a doctor elsewhere and told JHU to go fuck themselves when they wanted him to come to their medical school.
Owen Lattimore had ties to JHU and was invited to speak there by a flake of a chaplain (Chester Wickwire), who I met (and he bragged about bringing identify Communist and possible Soviet spy Lattimore to speak there after having been disallowed for many years. Lattimore eventually moved to England and, surprise, surprise, ended up teaching a court on “Marxism” at Leeds University).
