Ayers knows the wars are crazy because he works for the elites who instigate and manage the wars.
Ayers can’t say this to the sheeple though.
The sheeple need to keep thinking that communism is against the elites, instead of figuring out that communism is the elites’ government of choice.
Ayers' father was the head of Commonwealth Edison, the BIG electric company in Illinois. Daddy used to fund Students for a Democratic Society which perpetrated violence against the US and its citizens and served as the cadre that ultimately produced Obozo. Daddy was probably a "Republican" like UpChuck Percy and Lowell Weicker and other children of privilege who played for the other team and I don't mean the mere Democrat one.
Ayres' wife is the former Bernardine (the radical queen) Dohrn , born Bernardine Ohrnstein. She was known as that rarity, an attractive radical, and she featured skin tight leather microskirts. She is not inclined to leave any advantage unused. Of course, time marches on and in 2022 she is scheduled to be 80 years old.
Bernardine figured out, as you say, that "communism is the elites' government of choice." She figured that out hen still young enough to attract and marry Bill Ayres which has left her as comfortable as she chose ever since.
