As Nathan Glazer reports in his study of the movement's formative years, "the most striking characteristic of Communist Party membership throughout the 1920's was that it was overwhelmingly composed of recent immigrants. Probably only one in ten of the members was a native American." (The Social Basis of American Communism) These immigrants came to this country in the great wave from 1890 to WWI, and therefore the New Left, which two generations later grew out of the intellectual and social milieu these communists created, is yet another baleful indirect consequence of immigration.

Even Mr. Locke isn't being completely honest here. The intellectual underpinnings of the international communist movement have a very strong ethnic jewish, albeit atheist, coloring. The socialist movement in this country owes a great deal to the great wave of Jewish immigration from 1890 to WWI [native American socialists, like William Jennings Bryan, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson, notwithstanding]. I wonder whether Glazer is honest enough to confront this in his study.

If you bother to reply, please don't call me names like anti-semite, facist, or Nazi. Thank you.

Wouldn't dream of calling you a "facist"; I have no reason to believe you judge people solely on their facial appearance.

Mr. Locke is being perfectly honest here. Unlike purveors of right-wing anti-semetism, he differenctiates between Jews and leftists of Jewish descent.
Unlike you, he understands that the communist Jews hated real Jews more than anything and their intellectual decendants are at war with Jews even today. Hence the calls for open immigration in the US and for the destruction of Israel's Jewish nature or existance.
