Professor Luski would have been right at home in any American University’s Political Science Department. In fact, I think he taught my “Comparative Political Systems” Seminar at IU in the fall of 1980. Or someone just like him did. The better title for the course was “Soviet Communism Here and Now.” It’s nauseating how these academicians fellate the USSR and ignore the mass murder of millions, the camps, the repression of thought and liberty. Men in the USSR were no more than pieces of meat to be disposed of as the state saw fit.

One the one thing they all ignored; not one country at this time willingly voted for or accepted the Soviet Communist system. And all of them who had it imposed built walls to keep their people in rather than to keep people out.

When I saved this article a couple months ago I didn't catch the intro that says "Dr. Friedrich A. Hayek will present the contrary point of view in THE MAGAZINE next Sunday."

Consequently I didn't look for the response when I got to the June 24 part of the microfilm reel. I plan to correct that oversight tomorrow at the library and have Hayek's article ready for posting next week.
