To this day, even some FReepers read that comment as a justification against it.

That reminds me...

The commies read something into Thomas More's "Utopia" that was not there.

More used his little bit of fiction to prove the insanity of Utopia. I have taken the time to study it and More spoke as "Morus" and used Socratic dialogue to point out the fallacies of such a regime.

The commies thought he was endorsing a Marxist system and they erected a statue to him on Red Square.

Have never read that -- heading to Amazon now to order it.
