The NY Times embrace of socialism and Marxism goes back before WW2 to The Russian Communists and Stalin’s American cheerleader , Times journalist Walter Duranty.
You are indeed correct. I use WWII as a marker because I have found most people, even supposedly well informed peoples knowledge doesn’t go much beyond WWII. If it even approaches that far in history.
I listened to Limbaugh this week. He was absent on Monday. He related that he was asked to address a class of College students at a Prestigious Conservative University and he was astonished at the lack of knowledge of the atrocities regarding Communism the students had at this Very Conservative Institution of Higher Learning.
His point was if, students at a very Conservative Institution, presumably from Conservative families, attending Conservative primary and High Schools are so very IGNORANT of the atrocities of Communism, imagine the IGNORANCE of the average HS student in the average Gov’t HS.
Limbaugh’s point was, the fascination of the young with Socialism/Communism is due entirely to the fact that True Socialism/Communism is not being taught in Gov’t Schools.
In fact, what is being taught is a Glamorization of Socialism/Communism. And, the young Skulls full of Mush are being Indoctrinated into this and are buying it Hook, Line and Sinker.
