Just as a reminder in 1962, the world knew about Stalin's crimes, the Iron Curtain was in place, how the Soviet Union crushed Hungary, and the Berlin War was being constructed. Where is the op ed about how wonderful the German American Bund was??

The NY Slimes never got over its love for Communism.

NYT pining for the Good Old Days...................

[BenLurkin]

NYT making a good case for why it is known as an enemy of America.

[KarlInOhio]

The NY Times still believes Walter Duranty’s reports from the Soviet Union.

Communism—the ideology that becomes popular only when people know as little as possible about it.

[Vehmgericht]

People who were interested knew from the beginning what the Bolsheviks were up to. The ignorance defense does not work.

[Uncle Sam 911]

Communism still inspires the Slimes.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

The subtitle should be:

“Ah, The Good Old Days...”

[MichaelRDanger]

Stupid ass liberal commie gets it ass-backwards. America inspired communism. Before America it was quasi-feudal Aristocrats dominating over a huge under-class. Enter the American Republic onto the world stage with the “People” governing themselves without their aristocratic masters. Marx, tried to take it one step farther but failed due to his ignorance of human psychology.

If you’re “inspired” by communism you’re an American in name only.

Interesting in that the NY Times of its day, Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune, published columns by Karl Marx for years. Some things never change.

[Pelham]

Communism still inspires the Left.

You will see plenty of RevCom signs at their demonstrations.

RevCom = Revolutionary Communist Party

only in America-

[Albion Wilde]

It is perhaps hard to understand now, but at that time,... the Marxist vision of world solidarity as translated by the Communist Party induced in the most ordinary of men and women a sense of one’s own humanity that ran deep, made life feel large; large and clarified. It was to this clarity of inner being that so many became not only attached, but addicted. No reward of life, no love nor fame nor wealth, could compete with the experience...

...of not loving God and not being saved.

“Commies are kewl cause my mommy was a commie.”

Eff you, Vivian.

[Interesting Times]

Why just think, if we had communism in the U.S., the NYT would be a feared, respected Party organ instead of a failing old agitprop rag that has to be propped up by a Mexican telco billionaire.

Communism hates Christianity. That’s not a side effect or a corner condition it is the main theme of Communism. Discussion about Communism is a religious discussion to the core.
