Thinking about this I was awash in sadness. These two little boys lost their parents in such an awful way and their plight(?) has been the subject of a lot of literature and even film.
But they persist in refusing to recognize the truth: their parents were traitors. And they, some 50 years later, still are enmeshed in the Red Brigades.
Recently I saw them in a documentary about their ADOPTED father, supposedly some genius NYC public school teacher who wrote the Billie Holiday song "Strange Fruit", yet another communist anthem. Ol' Man River, DeNial, is mighty be river indeed.

Well said. It is sad on two levels. Shows what a powerful religion communism is. The cult closed around these two boys and destroyed their lives even further. Seen interviews with the children of prominent Nazis and, while the sadness is there for what their parents did, there is no bitterness toward the world. Robert even admits he is out to get even. Maybe he knows how destructive communism is and that is why he wants to inflict it on America.

D'ya spoze Chelsea will have similar feelings in 50 years?

Strange Fruit is not a communist anthem. It's about lynching.

Strange Fruit is about lynching, not communism.

"Strange Fruit" is a communist anthem? I thought it was about lynching. Am I missing something?

But they persist in refusing to recognize the truth:

It's always hard for kids to see their parents in a rational way. The important thing, I think, is that most of the rest of us know the essential truth about what happened. The history is pretty clear at this point.
