[Terry L Smith]

The late science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein, in one of his novels, wrote of a trip (I forgot why) to Stalinist Russia. The man was a rabid American, so I knew it would not be a woo-woo for Stalin, a la Bernie Sanders.

I suggest you find that, and read it twice.

I recall reading it. It was pretty good.

But Heinlien started as a rabid Progressive.

WWII helped him get over some of that, but he was pretty anti-Christian until the end.

His later novels all pushed his any-sex, anytime obsession.
