As Lenin would say, the useful idiots among the bourgoise class have done their job, and now it’s time to sweep them away as history proceeds towards the communist utopia. Of course, they will establish the dictatorship of the proletariat before the state withers away, but first we need to get rid of the capitalists. Mort Zuckerman will no doubt be astonished when he’s served with the papers telling him to head for the showers, so to speak.
I just found this the other day:
In Masters of Deceit (1958), J. Edgar Hoover defined a “fellow traveler” as one of five types of dangerous subversives.
1. The card-carrying Communist, one who openly admits membership in the Communist party
2. The underground Communist, one who hides his Communist party membership
3. The Communist sympathizer, a potential Communist because of holding Communist views
4. The fellow traveler, someone not a potential Communist but nevertheless who may hold views shared by Communists
5. The dupes, a person who is obviously not a Communist or a potential Communist but whose views may coincide with some of the American Communists. Examples are a prominent religious leader who opposed increased military expenditures and war, or a prominent jurist who opposed red-baiting tactics on civil liberty grounds
