Both joined the United States Communist Party and were frequently investigated and harassed by government officials; for many years they were denied passports, for example. But by 1958 they had grown disillusioned with Communism and left the party.
Back in the 1930's and 1940's many young Americans joined the Communist Party .... many also traveled to Spain to fight against Franco and the Nazis. Fighting the Nazi's and Franco's fascists in Spain was considered to be a brave and romatic endeavor at the time ... Have you ever read Ernest Hemmingway? Can anyone reasonably call Hemmingway a Commy?
Even Ronald Reagan was attracted by the appeal of socialist ideology in the late 1930's.
My grandfather (a very conservative self-made millionaire) at one time was a "Wobbly" (Member of the "Socialist Workers of the World" Party) because he was upset with the way large companies were exploiting women and children who were paid pennies a day to perform piecework. Later, he became a rum runner and casino owner in Nevada and California.
Robert Treuhaft was a radical lawyer and crusader against injustice with a Socialist point of view. He denounced Communism, most likely because of the excesses of Russia under Stalin. However, I also suggest that he died quite wealthy because the law made him rich. He was not really a Commy.
Hitlery is not really a Commy. She is a fundamentally and totally corrupt person without a trace of conscience who only desires power for power's sake.
She is founding member of the "New Democrats" ["New Social Democrats"] in the U.S. which makes her closer to being a type of National Socialist than being a Communist.
Hitlery is not really a Commy.
Doesn't look like Treuhaft ever "denounced Communism" if the following quote is accurate:
"Hillary was only mildly interested in the Panther cause," Treuhaft says, "but she did want to work for a left-wing movement law firm. Anyone who went to college or law school would have known our law firm was a Communist law firm."http://www.nationalreview.com/20dec99/nordlinger122099.html
