“He was a Soviet-type marxist through and through.”

Please provide proof of this. Writings of his? Statements?

You can do your own research in countless places regarding Chaplin's ideology. A good place to start is the lengthy but fascinating biography of the comedian in Wikipedia.

We know he never registered as a party member....however, his ideology was beautifully and thoroughly communist. His many and varied pro-communist and anti-American activities consumed a large part of his later adult life....culminating in the 50's with him meeting with Nikita Krushchev and Chou En Lai...and then shortly afterwards being awarded the International Peace Prize by the commie World Peace Council.
