I’ve never quite understood Hollywood’s genuflection with communists, since if they take over, the arts and intellectual crowd will be the first to go to the prison camps or executed.....................
They don't think so. They all believe that in the New Order, they will become Commissars, telling the rest of us what to do.
Our enemies were not executed or carted off to concentration camps. All that happened to them is they were forbidden from working in Hollywood for a few short years.
Theirs was a unjustly deserved rehabilitation. America is a far more decent country than the people who hated it to its core would ever be and only in America is being a persecuted Communist considered to be a badge of honor.
Let’s keep it in mind before we turn Trumbo and his Soviet fellow travelers into saints.
