Hi,

Quote:So, if your idea is that he was not anti-Communist because he was friendly with (but not affiliated with) Trotskyites and other castoffs from the 3rd International model of Communism, then fine. But, realistically speaking, my statement stands: he was an ardent anti-Communist.That's the problem with labels, such as 'communist'. The word can be applied to many things, from a commune to the USSR under Stalin. That makes most apparent dialogs on the subject two disconnected monologues. "It's just semantics" is the most asinine statement in debate. If we don't nail down what we are talking about, then what is said is irrelevant nonsense.
