Anarchists? They're communists. Why are we perpetuating this euphemism communists themselves adopted to hide who they really were? My grandfather was a communist. I remember him telling me all about the "anarchists" Sacco and Vanzetti. He made sure I knew that anarchist meant communist and why.

Was gramps also realistic enough to know that fascists and communists are two strains of the same breed?

Did your grandfather know Sacco and Vanzetti?

Interesting pair. IMO, Sacco was guilty, Vanzetti may have been innocent (but probably guilty as an accessory.) He took the fall for the team. Which, as you say, was the Communists.
