So some communists were members of the anti-apartheid movement. Some communists were members of the American Civil Rights movement. Most of the people in both battles were however people committed to civil rights. It is true that the ANC is a liberal party, but I would much rather see them in charge than the apartheid National Party. The ANC has been and is currently in a majority coalition government with the South African Communist Party, but I think fighting the evil of racism far outweighs having a right of center government. We allied with the communists in World War II and many liberals fought in the war. By the reasoning of you and Jesse Helms, you oppose anything that Communists support.
I see that you're both not white and a product of the government school system. So, here's a taste of reality:
Anything that communists oppose, a person who loves freedom supports.
Anything that a person who loves freedom supports, a communist opposes.
End of lesson.
"We allied with the communists in World War II and many liberals fought in the war. By the reasoning of you and Jesse Helms, you oppose anything that Communists support."
A blanket statement that fits well with your reasoning. At the outset of the war, Communist Russia supported the Nazi grab of power in central Europe. Stalin even hoped to muscle in on the action, specifically eyeing the breadbasket of Eastern Europe as an addition to Mother Russia. We only allied with Russia because Hitler betrayed Stalin, not because of ideological pandering. And yes, I do oppose anything Communists support. Especially the murders of more human beings than Hitler could have dreamed of.
