Did you read the screed? There’s really no way he’s a communist.
I read every word. He may not have been a communist ... but he certainly was an anti-capitalist.
He quoted the “communist creed” and parodied “capitalist creed” on his own ... so apparently he thought it worth noting. If he was conservative — I can’t imagine he’d have quoted a “communist creed” with admiration, and a “capitalist creed” with disdain.
